Repeated Visits

Strengthening and retraining the muscles and soft tissues that support your spine will take more than one visit. In the same way you can’t get in shape with a single workout at the gym, we’ll recommend a program of care.

Your Recovery

How many visits will it take? That depends:

• The extent of your health goals
• Your age, condition and lifestyle
• How much stress you experience
• Following our recommendations
• Implementing home care procedures

The Sweet Spot

If visits are too frequent, our efforts may be wasted since your body may not have fully integrated the changes from the last one. If your visits are too far apart (or you miss one!) we may not be able to acquire the “momentum” needed to affect real change. Each visit builds on the ones before.

Over the years, we’ve come to know what visit schedule produces the greatest effect with the fewest number of visits.

Dr. Karm Virk Asks some important questions of interest to Tukwila residents - Chiropractor Tukwila Dr. Karm Virk Asks...

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What causes vertebral subluxation complexes?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
