The most common reason why people chose a chiropractor is:

Pain or discomfort in musculoskeletal system

Other reasons for visiting a chiropractor are:

• Whiplash
• Sports injuries
• Headaches
• Neck pain
• Low back pain
  
  

  What are some of the reasons why you have pain or symptoms?

  
  Often times people become impatient and want a quick fix. Long term problems don't just “go away”. Like everything in life, getting well and staying well is hard work. It takes time to get your body to function properly. 
  
  Normally bad habits are often the case.  Bad posture, sleeping issues, stress all lead to symptoms over time.  Lifestyle choices are so important to finding out what is going on with our bodies and how we can prevent problems to arise.  These are often overlooked as a cause of some of the complaints you may have with your body.
  
  One thing that people have difficulty understanding is how repetitive injuries, long term emotional stress and bad posture can cause long term problems. Sitting long hours, accumulating emotional stress, typing without proper breaks, sleeping/standing/sitting improperly can cause severe long term problems that may take time to correct. 
  
  

  So, how long does it take for me to feel better?

  
  People often want a time estimate for their healing. Since we are all unique, every patient responds differently with care. Your body dictates the rate of healing and function. It is not uncommon for someone with and injury to feel better even though the problem is not completely healed. This is why we always check on your progress and perform re-exams. We want to track your healing process and get the fastest results we can to keep you feeling great. 
  
  A good chiropractor will always compare past visits to see how you progress in care. We want you to reach your goals and keep you feeling healthy and functioning at your highest capacity. When we work together as a team, we get great results!
