Chiropractors and physical therapists should have the goal of building resiliency in patients through progressive loading. If their one and only goal is to get rid of pain, that is not enough. Of course, getting out of pain is a fantastic thing, but not arming patients with an education + tools to keep the pain gone, leaves the patients hanging. Pain and dysfunction are bound to return if the original pain was just masked.
Ask your doc what their plans are for progression in care. It shouldn’t revolve around findings on an image, or a large change is posture. It should most likely include load, exercise, and an education to be able to help yourself in the future.
