Regular chiropractic maintenance visits prevent pain episodes and catch problems early, according to research that's been around for over a decade. The speaker urges doctors to spread the word about this evidence to more patients and clinicians.
Anybody have a crazy notion that maintained chiropractic care, maintenance care, is a good thing? Good. All right. Just making sure I was in the right room. So I could not agree more. There is no doubt about it that maintenance care and continued care is a good thing. Now, what you might not know is there's actually literature out there to support that. What did they find? Periodic patient visits permit proper evaluation, detection, and early treatment of an emerging problem, thus preventing future episodes. I like the idea of detection. I like the idea of early evaluation. I like the idea of preventing future episodes because I know that to get to top performance, you can't be in abject pain. And the first step is to get somebody feeling and moving well, and then you can get into performance. So you have to get the bases covered here. And what we see is that the literature supports the benefits of maintenance care. It does not take away from it. It's not just like some thing that we thought was good and we think might be good, and maybe we'll check it out in the future. This is like 13 years ago. It's been out there. How many people about this? Far too little.
