With all the new snow in the mountains, many people have probably increased their type and level of activities.

How many times should you go to the chiropractor? At the very least, after your initial consultation, you will want to continue chiropractic services on a monthly basis. This will help keep your spine flexible and moving, balance the muscles, and strengthen the discs, tendons, and ligaments. Subluxations may occasionally occur just from the stress of life, but they can easily be released.
