Dr. Richard Asks some important questions of interest to Naperville residents - Chiropractor Naperville Dr. Richard Asks...

Where do most Naperville residents get their first vertebral subluxation complex?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of vertebral subluxation complex. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Naperville newborn.
Why are frequent visits advised when starting chiropractic care?
Consistent visits at the beginning of your chiropractic care help create the momentum necessary to correct and retrain unhealthy spinal patterns. Later, Naperville practice members find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
