Dr. Prather Asks some important questions of interest to Lees Summit residents - Chiropractor Lees Summit Dr. Prather Asks...

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, Lees Summit practice members find that continued care on a less frequent visit schedule can help preserve their progress and avoid a relapse.
What is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Lees Summit chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Lees Summit adults.
