Carlsbad Chiropractor, Dr Reid Strahan, deals with one of the biggest questions that people have about chiropractic care. Namely, after your Carlsbad Chiropractor helps you with your pain issues, do you really need to return for more care?

To answer that question, Dr Strahan tells us of 5 reasons why you should continue to visit your chiropractor on a routine basis.

#1 Continue The Progress That Is Achieved
The ligaments and muscles that hold up your spine may take longer to heal than indicated by how you are feeling. Of this you can be sure, you will feel better with a ship-shape spine, but there is a certain amount of maintenance that is required to ensure a long lasting, pain free body.

#2 Prevent Falling Into The Same Old Patterns
Long before you noticed any symptoms, your body changed to the soft tissue misalignment and damage that was caused by improper spinal function. Without a maintenance program of continued chiropractic care, the connective tissue and muscles around your spine will naturally tend to assume the previous unhealthy alignment. You need time to retrain and strengthen your spinal area to avoid a relapse.


#3 Avoid Bad Experiences In The Future
All of us experience times and activities that can bring extra forces to our backs. Even the tiniest amount of spinal trauma can cause problems to your nervous system. This will ultimately cause a compromise in overall well being. Maintenance chiropractic care, will help you eliminate the small problems, before they become big problems.


#4 Saves You Money and Time
In addition to providing you with an overall ability to feel better, continuing your time seeing the chiropractor will save you time and money. We all know that by taking care of your teeth on an everyday basis, we will prevent expensive dental work in the future. Similarly, regular chiropractic check-ups will help you avoid the expense and time of having to correct preventable problems.

#5 Helps You Feel Good
Maintenance care can help keep you happy and healthy, so you can enjoy your life to the max. Dr. Strahan, your Carlsbad Chiropractor, based on his clinical experience, will recommend a maintenance schedule. Most patients who adhere to this schedule, report that they have more energy and just feel better.
