Repeated Visits

Strengthening and retraining the muscles and soft tissues that support your spine will take more than one visit. In the same way you can’t get in shape with a single workout at the gym, we’ll recommend a program of care.

Your Recovery

How many visits will it take? That depends:

• The extent of your health goals
• Your age, condition and lifestyle
• How much stress you experience
• Following our recommendations
• Implementing home care procedures

The Sweet Spot

If visits are too frequent, our efforts may be wasted since your body may not have fully integrated the changes from the last one. If your visits are too far apart (or you miss one!) we may not be able to acquire the “momentum” needed to affect real change. Each visit builds on the ones before.

Over the years, we’ve come to know what visit schedule produces the greatest effect with the fewest number of visits.

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.
