While chiropractic care can offer rapid relief, it is crucial to maintain realistic expectations regarding the healing process. Healing, particularly for chronic conditions that have developed over an extended period, is a gradual process. Consistency and patience are essential.

For instance, if you have been experiencing lower back pain, sciatica, neck pain, or headaches for several years, it may take several weeks or months of regular adjustments to achieve long-lasting improvement. However, numerous patients report feeling better after just a few sessions, with continued progress throughout their treatment plan.

Patients who maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper posture, exercise, and nutrition, often experience faster results.

Chiropractic care yields optimal results when sessions are consistent. A typical treatment plan may involve 2-3 sessions per week initially, gradually tapering off as symptoms improve.

It is essential to be patient, as chiropractic care is not a quick fix or an aspirin. Instead, it targets the root cause of the problem and works from the inside out. It is crucial to listen to your doctor's instructions regarding home care, including stretches, exercises, and nutritional support, and to keep your scheduled appointments.

Chiropractic Viewpoint on Subluxation- By Steven Yeomans, DC, FACO

Chiropractors view subluxation as a process rather than a static condition during which the tissues undergo constant changes, including:

Hyperemia- Referring to an excess of blood in a specific area of the body, hyperemia may develop when there is an obstruction preventing the blood from flowing normally.

Congestion- Joint dysfunction affects the muscles in different ways, with some muscles developing trigger points, or areas of congestion, where toxins develop, irritate the nerve endings within the muscle, and produce pain.

Edema- When the body’s tiny blood vessels (capillaries) are damaged or pressurized, excess fluid may leak from them and build up in the tissues, leading to a swelling known as edema.

Minute hemorrhages- Referring to a small amount of bleeding or an abnormal flow of blood, minute hemorrhages may develop within the body’s blood vessels as a result of certain triggers, underlying conditions and other risk factors.

Fibrosis- Detailing the replacement of normal tissue with scar tissue, fibrosis commonly occurs in people dealing with recurrent back pain.

Local ischemia- A very specific type of muscle pain, ischemia refers to a lack of blood flow in the muscle (often from a muscle spasm), leaving the muscle very painful to touch.

Atrophy- With muscle atrophy, the muscle shrinks and may partially or completely waste away as a result of inactivity or various diseases and conditions.

Tissue rigidity- Eventual rigidity and adhesions form not only in joint capsules, but also in ligaments, tendons and muscles themselves.
