Corrective Chiropractic care addresses the total body regardless of symptoms or pain. While pain is an indicator of a problem, a nervous system problem may be present without a pain response. Pain is generally the last symptom to be revealed and the first to go away. Most conditions take 6 to 12 months to correct, while pain and discomfort generally dissipates within 6 weeks. Some chronic cases may require supportive care for many years.
