Have you ever wondered why your body has difficulty holding an adjustment at the start of your care.
Do you understand why you need to come in more frequently when you first start out with your Chiropractic care…. its all to do with muscle memory.
WHAT IS MUSCLE MEMORY
A vertebra is an odd looking bone with several bumps and projections. Each of these points serves as an important purpose as an attachment site for muscles and Ligaments.
When a vertebra is misaligned, these muscles and ligaments try to stabilize the spine by holding the bone in place. If the vertebra remains out of position for a long period of time, the muscles assume this position as the “New Normal”. This poses a problem for your Chiropractor because once an adjustment is delivered, your muscles will stubbornly try to re-position the vertebrae back into the misaligned state. It is for this reason your Chiropractor must see you regularly at the start of your care.
Your muscles must be “Retrained” as to the correct position of the vertebra.
Once your body begins to hold the adjustment overtime, your frequency of visits will be reduced.
