No… At One Life Chiropractic, our goal is to identify the primary neuro-structural issue that is impacting the function of the nervous system of each and every client. Once this has been resolved, your path to true wellness will begin. In order to truly achieve this, the health of your nervous system must be maintained. Your best outcome is a result of our ability to maintain your nervous system free of structural shifts. We recommend that you still come in periodically based on your condition and the evaluation of our providers. Should you choose to discontinue care, this does not necessarily mean that your health will regress. However, after you have worked so hard to get feeling like yourself again, would it not make sense to get your nervous system checked periodically?

Results are based on individual treatment and dedication. There are many contributing factors for each patient. We all have had different life experiences that greatly impact our health. Due to this, there is not one recipe to determine the amount of chiropractic visits that will be necessary without all the pertinent details procured by a consultation and comprehensive neuro-structural examination. What we can say, with our years of experience, is that most of our patients start to notice significant changes within the first 3-6 weeks of care.

You are only adjusted when the objective findings indicate that your spine has shifted out of alignment. Each individual’s body varies in the ability to hold an adjustment based your lifestyle, therefore at each visit to the office you will be evaluated and our providers will determine if there are structural shifts that warrant an adjustment. You will be given recommendations in the office, which are intended to help you achieve and maintain an aligned state.

Absolutely! Pain is the first symptom to go away, and the last to return when there is an issue. We feel that a proactive approach and maintaining your spinal health is better than reactive care. You will still be evaluated each time you come in. This allows us to identify any structural shifts before you even know there is an issue.

We recommend getting checked regularly while you are pregnant. Chiropractic care is a great way to relieve the added stress on your spine and pelvis, especially with changes in size, weight, posture, and hormones. It can also assist with sciatic pain – the inflammation of the sciatic nerve that runs from your lower back down through legs to your feet, which can be common during pregnancy.

Besides making you feel better during pregnancy, getting checked regularly can also help control nausea, prevent a potential C-section, and has even been linked to reducing the amount of time some women spend in labor.
