It’s not just a visit, it’s an experience.
Here are some tips and tricks to make the most of your visit to the chiropractor — and get the best bang for your buck, too!
Reflect on your reasons for going to the chiropractor.
1. Pain can cloud your judgment.
When every joint, tendon, and muscle in your body is screaming in pain, it’s hard to know what problem to start with. When you figure out what’s giving you the most trouble, you and your chiropractor can identify a starting point, and get a plan in motion — to get you back in motion!
2. Be transparent with your chiropractor.
While it’s important to note that chiropractic adjustments can cause some initial discomfort, their purpose is to relieve your pain, not cause more of it. If certain mobilizations or manipulations are making your pain worse, it’s crucial that you tell your chiropractor so they can adjust their treatment plan accordingly!
3. Follow your chiropractor’s instructions.
Most people leave their chiro appointments feeling relieved and relaxed. However, that relief can be temporary if you fall back into your bad habits like poor posture and excessively straining your body.
So do what your chiropractor tells you, whether that’s stretching between sessions, doing hot and cold therapy, or resting. Following your chiro’s instructions will ensure you get the most out of each session :)
