"Why is Rehab Important and Best used in Conjunction with Chiropractic?"

Rehab is best used in conjunction with chiropractic for quite a few reasons, some being:

• Chiropractic rehab treats and assesses the entire body, adjusts the hypomobile joints (local as well as within the entire chain), and then addresses the soft tissue imbalances, faulty movement patterns, and altered muscular length-tension relationships to enhance the effects of chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT). 
• Rehab not only treats symptoms that you may be having, but also targets the root cause of pain and discomfort.
• Rehab ensures that the joint and muscles work in a symbiotic relationship to allow the chiropractic adjustment to last and/or "stick", instead of allowing the joint to go back to the original, problematic position.
• Chiropractic adjustments allow for joints to move correctly and towards their full ranges of motion, and rehab allows for the stability of the joint range of motion that the adjustment provides.
