If you were bandaged your hand in the same position for years and someone cut the bandage and tried to move it, what do you think would happen? The hand would return to the position in which it had remained fixed for all that time. But through repetition, normal movement and positioning can be restored. The same goes for the spine.
When vertebrae are misaligned and chronically "locked" for a period of time (subluxed), the muscles and ligaments that support them tend to hold them in position. The first time a chiropractor tries to adjust them, like the bandaged hand, the vertebrae may return to the old position. The same in which they were when they were fixed. For that reason "once and for all" rarely works with chiropractic. Change requires repetition.
Frequency and repetition are necessary components in any plan of care chiropractor. Also, the more consistent you are with your settings, the better the results. For chiropractors the definition of healing is doing the right thing over and over again until health is restored.
