Once I start Chiropractic care, do I have to go for the rest of my life?

The first recorded chiropractic adjustment was performed on September 18,
1895, by Dr. Daniel David Palmer, a Canadian-born teacher and healer. Dr.
Palmer was, at the time, studying the cause and effect of disease. His patient
was Harvey Lillard, a janitor working in the same building as Dr. Palmer
in Davenport, Iowa. Mr. Lillard, who had complained of hearing problems
for over 17 years, allowed Dr. Palmer to examine his spine. Dr. Palmer discovered
a "lump" on Mr. Lillard's back and suspected that a vertebra might be out
of place, which he then repositioned the vertebra with a gentle thrust.
After several such treatments, much of Mr. Lillard's hearing was restored.
Since Dr. Palmer's first chiropractic adjustment, the art and science of chiropractic has progressed significantly.
Today, advanced diagnostic procedures, sophisticated equipment, scientific research, and the growing acceptance
among other health care professionals makes chiropractic a popular health care choice.
Chiropractic Philosophy
The chiropractic perspective on health and disease emphasizes two fundamental concepts:
1) the structure and condition of the body influences how the body functions and its ability to heal itself;
and
2) the mind-body relationship is instrumental in maintaining health and in the healing processes.
Although chiropractic shares much with other health professions, its emphasis and application of philosophy
distinguishes it from modern medicine. Chiropractic philosophy gravitates toward a holistic ("total person")
approach to healing which combines elements of the mind, body and spirit and maintains that health depends on
obedience to natural laws, and that deviation from such laws can result in illness.
