Why Three Times a Week?
When patients begin chiropractic care in our office, we often (not always) recommend
three visits per week. Many wonder how we arrive at this visit schedule.
Since the patient is doing the healing, not me, everyone responds differently. Predicting
the best course of care is a combination of education, experience and keen observation skills from regular progress examinations. The best way to appreciate our recommendations is to better understand how chiropractic adjustments work.
A common misconception is that a spinal bone is “out of place” and that the chiropractic
adjustment “puts the bone back” into its proper position. Not true. Instead, a chiropractic adjustment applies a specific force, at a specific location, in a specific direction to assist the body in “righting” itself. Only your body knows where a particular vertebra is supposed to be!
My job is to supply the energy your body can use to help normalize the motion and position of a specific malfunctioning spinal joint.
So why three times a week? We’ve found this visit frequency, especially at the beginning
of care, balances the repetition most patients need to establish a new, healthier spinal pattern, with the practical concerns of integrating chiropractic care into a busy life. We’ve tried more frequent and less frequent care schedules.
Our experience shows three times a week produces the best results in the shortest amount of time.
