Maintenance of adjustments is best recommended on a case by case basis. Generally, though a patient can receive relief from a specific point point or injury, it is important to stay on top of tune ups to avoid future injuries or arthritis in these same locations. In the cause of pain, the body tries to stabilize itself by developing “osteophytes” or “bone spurs.” In order to avoid these spurs from permanently impinging on the nerves of the body, it is important to realign the joints and muscles naturally using chiropractic techniques. While it is our first priority to alleviate immediate pain to those in the Bridgeton and Creve Coeur areas, we also keep your long-term health in the forefront of our mind.
