The Benefits of Consistent Structural Chiropractic Care

Posted on March 27, 2024 by Dr. Andrew Gessert • 0 Comments

Want to up your health and wellness game this year?

Tired of fad diets and viral workout trends that don’t help with mobility or flexibility?

If you want to go back to basics and get your health journey back on track, consider incorporating chiropractic care into your routine.

Most chiropractors you’ll find on your typical Google search are conventional chiropractors. They focus on reducing pain, inflammation and improving range of motion in joints. We believe that most of them do a great job, but some people find that their pain returns after a short time.

Treating symptoms (secondary conditions) rather than the underlying cause of your condition is like putting spackle on the cracked walls of a house with an uneven foundation. It is a temporary solution, but eventually, the problem will keep coming back. A specific structural correction chiropractor’s goal, is to correct the structural cause of your condition and then show you how to keep it that way.
