When that injury is finished, and the pain gone, the patient is usually not seen again, unless they injure themselves again. Often, this is construed as being a permanent patient. In reality, it is reconstructive care, and sometimes maintenance care. The real truth is that patients return to their chiropractor time after time because chiropractic care works very good for lots of problems. Besides providing chiropractic adjustments and good health habits, chiropractic doctors provide pre-employment, prenatal and athletic physicals.
Many chiropractic doctors are team physicians for local high schools and organized sports.
Some treat professional athletes such as runners, body builders, Olympic athletes and swimmers. In addition to working with runners and tri-athletes Dr. Chaplin is the team doctor for the Houston Tornadoes, Houston's outdoor professional woman's soccer team. Chiropractors are active in community projects that support children, a drug free lifestyle and good health. We support Red Ribbon Week and less reliance on medications for health care.
