     Q: How do I know when I need chiropractic treatment?
     A. Pain is the usual symptom that prompts a first visit to the chiropractor. but a growing number of people seek chiropractic care to enhance their overall health and well-being.
A person's need for chiropractic treatment varies greatly, depending on his or her general health, physical condition, age, lifestyle, past history of health and injury, and hereditary factors. But the presence of pain is not necessarily the best indicator that chiropractic treatment is needed. Once a condition has reached the point of pain, a great deal of strain and irritation has already occurred.
Some people choose ongoing chiropractic care either to minimize existing conditions or to prevent problems from occurring. The warning signals that occur prior to the onset of back pain include restricted movement in areas of your neck, back. shoulders. arms or lees: notic-ing unbalanced postures in the mirror: a feeling of tension that does not go away with relaxation: restless sleeping: or irritability. The sooner you seek chiropractic care at the onset of these signals. the more efficient your care will be and the sooner you can return to health.
People who truly want to prevent conditions from occurring cannot wait for the early signs to appear. The best recommendation in this case is to schedule regular chiropractic appointments in accordance with the advice of your Doctor of Chiropractic. This is commonly’ called maintenance treatment or care and may be your best insurance for obtaining and keeping optimum health.
