"Why do I need more than one adjustment?"

An Atlanta Chiropractor comments:

As an Atlanta chiropractor, I hear this question a lot.  People wonder why one chiropractic adjustment isn't enough to "cure" them of their pain.  This is especially the case when you get up from the chiropractor's table and you already feel pain relief.  Then, a few weeks later, you start to feel that neck pain, back pain or headache set in again. What gives, right?

Well the truth of the matter is that it has taken your body years to develop these bad postural habits. To get you back to normal, we have to re-train your body to use good posture.  In some cases, the headache, back pain, or neck pain is caused from whiplash in an auto injury or a work injury rather than years of sitting hunched in a computer chair. When this is the case, repeated adjustments are necessary in order to prevent your soft tissue from healing improperly and causing even more pain in the long term.

Ongoing chiropractic care also has other benefits that people don't often realize. One benefit is that when your body is properly aligned, you have an increased range of motion in your joints. This allows you to live the active lifestyle that you love by participating in activities like golf or swimming without the pain you would have previously experienced. Because you are doing things that you love, you are naturally happier, which leads to reduced stress, which improves your immune system, equaling a happier, healthier you.
