Thumbs Up to Relief
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. This first phase of care is called the initial intensive, you call it "get me out of pain Doc". The main goal of this phase is to reduce your symptoms as much as possible and as quickly as possible. Sometimes this will require daily visits to accomplish our goal.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.
For example, consider a cavity in your tooth. Does it hurt when it first develops or only after it has become serious? How about heart disease? Regardless of whether you are talking about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stress or problems with the spine, pain is usually the last thing to appear. When you begin chiropractic care, pain is also the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition remains.
