Why are frequent chiropractic visits sometimes necessary?

1. All patient's get the "three times a month" care plan
2. Doctors are just trying to get rich
3. Sometimes the body needs to retrain the muscles, bones and nerves
   Many times a series of visits are required to break the pain cycle and to retrain the muscles so a patient "holds their adjustments." Patients know when adjustments are working because their symptoms cease, energy levels increase, and maximum health is expressed by their bodies!
