Relapse

It’s tempting to discontinue care as soon as you feel better. Especially if you think being healthy is about how you feel.

A New Idea

Since pain and other symptoms are the last thing to show up, they are the first to resolve. However, true healing begins after symptoms subside. Continuing to see us when you’re feeling great, is a new idea for most people. Especially insurance companies!

The Problem Returns

Without sufficient retraining and strengthening, many spinal problems return. It could be months or years later. Please don’t blame us, or chiropractic! Come back in and resume your care. After all, your records will be here, along with our genuine concern for you and your health.

A Healthy Habit

After a couple of these "stops and starts" many patients decide to come in on a regular basis to support a healthy life. Like brushing, flossing and other healthy habits.

Dr. Mark Asks some important questions of interest to Westfield residents - Chiropractor Westfield Dr. Mark Asks...

What is the purpose of pain?
Pain prompts many Westfield folks to begin chiropractic care. But pain isn't the problem! Pain is just how your body alerts you that a limit has been reached (or exceeded), that something isn't working right and that some type of change is needed. As a chiropractor, my job is finding the underlying cause and recommending the changes needed to bring your body back into balance.
What happens if you stop chiropractic care when you feel better?
Many Westfield folks recognize that this predisposes you to a relapse. Chiropractors know that muscles and ligaments supporting the spine don't fully heal until after symptoms subside.
