when do you know that going to the chiropractor is not helping your body any more?
Sarah,
Like Dr. Tanase says, chiropractic treatment can treat your symptoms. If you feel you have found relief from your symptoms, perhaps that is all you are looking for. I have some patients who just want pain relief, and do not necessarily want to focus on prevention.
For optimal wellness, perhaps consider a chiropractic treatment plan that focuses on the root of your symptoms and includes a beginning and end to your treatment. I like to focus on passive care (pain relief) by incorporating massage therapy and electric stimulation, cryotherapy, and ultrasound machines with chiropractic adjustments. The second phase of care is active: it involves using MedX Spinal Physical Therapy machines to strengthen the muscles that align the spine to create a natural back brace for your spine. These machines allow me to quantify and compare muscle strengthen. Once a patient reaches 100% strength, their treatment is complete.
If you are looking at reaching an end in optimal health, I would suggest searching for a chiropractor that utilizes an integrated approach. Best of luck!

Sarah, your question could lead to hours of discussion. I'll try and give you a concise answer.
It depends on why the person is receiving chiropractic care in the first place.
Some people get chiropractic adjustments for symptomatic relief. In other words, they have an ache or pain of some kind and chiropractic care offers them relief.
Other people choose to get adjusted for wellness reasons. The improved motion, flexibility, and overall well-being they notice after the adjustments motivates them to continue receiving care on an elective basis.
Ultimately, the answer to your question depends on why you're receiving the care you're receiving. If you are not noticing improvements of any kind (symptomatic or otherwise), and feel that visiting your chiropractor is no longer beneficial, then feel free to stop going at anytime.
