Do You Really Have to Go to a Chiropractor Forever?

It’s one of the most common hesitations people have before trying chiropractic, and it’s a fair question. No, you don’t have to go to a chiropractor forever. Most people complete a course of care to address their specific problem and then decide for themselves whether occasional maintenance visits are worth it.

Here’s what’s actually happening when you do it, and when it’s worth being more careful. What That Popping Sound Actually Is First, let’s clear up the most common misconception. The pop you hear when you crack your back or neck is not bones grinding or anything moving back into place. It’s a phenomenon called cavitation.
