You can be assured that here at Wheaton Family Chiropractic, we will never schedule you for more visits than you really need. I don’t know what your past experiences have been like, or how they do it at other offices, but I do know my own practice and I have not, and never will, make any patient come back for any more visits than they need.

As far as coming back after you are out of pain, everyone’s condition is different, and if that’s what we determine is best for you it would make good sense to do it. Think of the “preventive maintenance” people do for their cars, like oil changes, for example.

Chiropractor, Dr. Myers specialty is in corrective care. He has done extensive traveling to study under the best and brightest minds on the planet to bring this corrective work to his patients. We can help someone who is looking for a quick fix, but people travel from all over the country to come to our office because of the reputation Dr. Myers has with spinal correction. With corrective care we can help return bent spines straighter and can put the normal arcs back into the spine when they are lost. Not only does this type of care get the patients the best relief, but restores their health and function.
