Chiropractic

Is chiropractic care addictive?

No. This term is very misleading as it implies that the very nature of receiving a chiropractic adjustment could somehow change one's joints in such a way that the same joint would require future adjustments in order to function properly thereafter. This is false. An adjustment restores the motion of the joint which was previously not moving through its full range of motion. The adjustment does NOT harm the tendons, ligaments, or joint capsule.

It is true that people have chronic problems. This is because there are underlying factors that interfere with proper function. Whether it's structural (like forward head posture or ligament laxity), biochemical or emotional stress, the joints may return to their previous state of dysfunction. If the underlying factors that lead to the joint problems are not addressed, the problem will return. This may give the impression that the care is somehow "addictive".

Dr. Rehl's approach using muscle testing and Applied Kinesiology deals with these underlying factors to speed healing and to resolve or minimize the chronicity of the problem. Please read the description of Applied Kinesiology.
