Maintaining your chiropractic appointments and sticking to a treatment plan is important!

Following a treatment plan for a structural injury can be viewed in the same way as a fitness program. The more closely you follow your prescribed treatment schedule, the more likely you are to get positive and longer lasting results.

If you decide to do a fitness program, it is essential to go frequently and consistently until you reach your desired level of fitness; and then it is important to maintain that level of fitness with an altered program. If you only follow your fitness program now and again, you wouldn't expect much to change.

WHY DOES MY PROGRESS IN HEALING TAKING LONGER?

If you are inconsistent with attending treatment appointments, it can hinder your improvement and make progress slower.

This is because we are dealing with the same musculoskeletal structures that are exercised during fitness.

Consider joint problems caused by ligament injury, for example. according to the Journal of Athletic Training (JAT), ligament injuries such as an acute ankle sprain improve slowly over a period of six weeks to 3 months and even up to a year. JAT stresses complete healing is essential to prevent re-injury.

The long-term consequence of non-healed ligament injury is chronic pain, diminished function, as well as wear and tear known as osteoarthritis (OA).

Joint problems caused by ligament injury progress through three stages of healing: the acute inflammatory phase; The proliferative or regenerative phase; and the tissue-remodelling phase.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO KEEP YOUR APPOINTMENTS

Keeping appointments for chiropractic care is crucial for a variety of reasons.

Chiropractic treatments involve personalised treatment plans that take into account the patient’s specific needs. Chiropractors use a variety of chiropractic techniques, such as spinal manipulation and adjustments, to provide pain relief and promote healing.

It is important to stick to these appointments in order to see the full benefits of chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care offers a multitude of benefits, including the care of chronic low back pain, soft tissue injuries, and misalignments.

Sticking to a treatment plan is important in order to ensure that the patient is receiving the necessary care to address their specific issues.

Chiropractors may give you a treatment plan because they know how the body works and heals.

By following through with these appointments and treatment plans, patients can experience improvements in their pain and discomfort, as well as overall wellness. Regular chiropractic care can help to prevent future injuries and maintain optimal health.

CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT PLANS

Chiropractic services often include exercises and stretches to complement the chiropractic adjustments and manipulation for care of chronic low back pain.

This personalised care is essential for patients to see the best results in their treatment. By keeping appointments and following the recommendations of your chiropractor, you can experience the full benefits of chiropractic care.

Chiropractic care offers a holistic treatment option for those seeking pain relief and improved functionality. It is important to understand the importance of a custom treatment plan in chiropractic care. By sticking to your appointments and following your personalised treatment plan, you can ensure that you are getting the most out of your chiropractic care and improving your overall quality of life.

Your chiropractor understands the way the body heals and progresses.

For this reason, your chiropractor sets out a specific plan for you to reach a certain level of comfort, movement and stability. During this time, keeping your appointment is very important. Once a level of joint and nerve healing as well as structural stability is reached, your plan will slowly reduce to consistent but less frequent checkups intended to help you continue improving during all stages of healing.
