Repeated Visits

Strengthening and retraining the muscles and soft tissues that support your spine will take more than one visit. In the same way you can’t get in shape with a single workout at the gym, we’ll recommend a program of care.

Your Recovery

How many visits will it take? That depends:

• The extent of your health goals
• Your age, condition and lifestyle
• How much stress you experience
• Following our recommendations
• Implementing home care procedures

The Sweet Spot

If visits are too frequent, our efforts may be wasted since your body may not have fully integrated the changes from the last one. If your visits are too far apart (or you miss one!) we may not be able to acquire the “momentum” needed to affect real change. Each visit builds on the ones before.

Over the years, we’ve come to know what visit schedule produces the greatest effect with the fewest number of visits.

Dr. Payne  Asks some important questions of interest to Destin residents - Chiropractor Destin Dr. Payne Asks...

What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Destin patients find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
