It depends on the patient, their diagnosis, and their goals. Many people choose to have periodic check-ups once their condition has improved, as they find that regular care keeps them feeling better and reduces the frequency of their flare-ups. For others with ongoing concerns, regular care seems to be the best way to manage their condition. For many others, once their condition has improved, they are discharged from care and encouraged to return should they ever require chiropractic therapy in the future.
