In chiropractic, there are 3 T's that are often spoken about. These 3 T's stand for:
1. Time - it takes time for the body to heal itself. When you first start seeing a chiropractor, you may need to come in for treatments more frequently (perhaps even daily or multiple times per week) in order to see results. As your body starts to heal and realign itself, you will likely need to come in less often.
2. Technique - each chiropractor has their own unique approach and set of techniques that they use in order to help their patients. Some common techniques include spinal manipulation, massage, and acupuncture.
3. Tools - some chiropractors use tools such as heat lamps, ice packs, electrical stimulation, and Ultrasound machines in addition to their hands-on techniques in order to provide relief from pain and promote healing.
