One question we get asked frequently here at Vibrant Health, is how often should you get adjusted?
The frequency of chiropractic adjustments depends on various factors including the individual's condition, symptoms, overall health, and treatment goals. Some people may benefit from more frequent adjustments, while others may require less frequent visits. Most of our patients benefit from a once-a-month plan but others can vary from every couple weeks, once a month, once a quarter or as needed. Our chiropractors will typically assess your condition and recommend a personalized treatment plan.
In general, individuals with chronic conditions or ongoing symptoms will need regular chiropractic adjustments to manage their condition and prevent flare-ups. Others may choose to receive periodic adjustments as part of their preventive healthcare routine to maintain spinal health and overall well-being. We always tell our patients we can find and correct issues before they become a bigger problem!
Ultimately, the frequency of chiropractic adjustments should be determined by our Chiropractic physicians based on individual needs and goals. It's important to consult with your chiropractor to develop a treatment plan that is appropriate for you.

Here are some overall benefits you may experience:
Â
Â
Improved Posture: Chiropractic adjustments can help correct spinal misalignments, which may improve posture over time. Better posture can reduce strain on muscles and joints, leading to less discomfort and decreased risk of injury.
Headache Relief: Some headaches, particularly tension headaches and headaches originating from the neck, may be alleviated through chiropractic adjustments. By addressing spinal misalignments and reducing muscle tension in the neck and upper back, chiropractic care can provide relief from headaches.
Enhanced Athletic Performance: Athletes often seek chiropractic care to improve their performance and prevent injuries. Chiropractic adjustments can help optimize joint function, range of motion, and overall biomechanics, which may contribute to better athletic performance and reduced risk of injuries.
Improved Digestive Function: Some people report improvements in digestive function after receiving chiropractic adjustments. Spinal misalignments can affect nerve function, including nerves that control digestion. By realigning the spine, chiropractic care may help restore proper nerve function and enhance digestive health.
Boosted Immune Function: Although more research is needed, some studies suggest that chiropractic adjustments may positively impact immune function. Proper spinal alignment and nerve function are essential for optimal immune system function. By removing interference to the nervous system through adjustments, chiropractic care may support overall immune health.
Management of Chronic Conditions: Chiropractic adjustments can be beneficial for managing various chronic conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, and sciatica. While chiropractic care may not cure these conditions, it can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life for individuals living with chronic health issues.
Drug-Free Pain Management: Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing pain. By addressing the underlying cause of pain through spinal manipulation and other techniques, chiropractors can help patients reduce their reliance on pain medications and avoid potential side effects associated with pharmaceutical interventions. #Chiropractic #Selfcare #Adjustment #VibrantHealth #Maintenance
