Yes and no. Depends on the diagnosis. I’d say go with your chiropractors treatment plan. If you’re feeling better after a few visits, tell him so, then set up maintenance adjustments to continue feeling better.

That’s a rather detailed question to answer.
Many things take place. First and foremost to induce motion into a joint that’s not moving properly. Therefore, we have better range of motion, increases immune system, enhances organ function, stimulates brain activity and last but not least inhibits pain by shutting the gate theory of pain. This pain-spasm-pain cycle is stopped or inhibited from the adjustment. Reducing pain and increasing range of motion is a given but when a 3/4 week old baby comes into the office with colic and we adjust that infant using 4oz. of pressure it amazes not only the parents but anyone that witnesses such a miracle from a simple yet complex adjustment. Keep getting adjusted with regularity.

I’ll provide you with the shorter version.

Osteopathic doctors chose the route of writing prescriptions abondoning the manipulation of subluxations (misaligned bones). However, in my opinion they have the best of both worlds if they choose. They can write scripts and manipulate if they chose to be proficient at musculoskeletal cases. Most choose to write scripts managing their patients. It’s a good profession to be in as well. As Chiropractors we primarily focus on the subluxation part. Love getting adjusted. From babies to the senior citizens. ❤️
