Do I need to see a Chiropractor forever?

No, if the patient follows the prescribed treatment plan the patient

should get

better. If patient is not getting better and following the treatment plan, the doctor will decide if

continuing

treatment is

necessary and may refer

the patient

out to a specialist. Some patients like to see a

Chiropractor one time a month for

maintenance and feel that this is more effective than taking over the counter

medications to ease headaches, muscle pain etc.
