| Q. |
Exercise?
what kind, why do I need it? |

tone, function and decrease the possibility of reinjury.
|
| Q. |
The
pain is gone. I feel great. Why do I need to follow through
with the treatment plan? |
|
Some
patients mistake temporary relief for permanent correction and
discontinue chiropractic care when they begin to feel better.
Keep in mind that in order to get the maximum benefit from
chiropractic care, you must allow enough time for correction
of the causes of your condition, and permit the weakened
muscles and ligaments to strengthen and adjust to their
new positions.
