Considering Quitting

Hello, I'm Dr. Rory Dopps from Dopps Chiropractic in Overland Park, Kansas. Chiropractic care can provide numerous benefits for many individuals, but it's essential to recognize when it might be time to consider stopping or adjusting your treatment plan. In this blog, we'll discuss several factors to consider when determining whether or not to quit chiropractic care.


  1. Treatment goals achieved: One of the primary reasons to consider stopping chiropractic care is if you've achieved your treatment goals. If your pain, discomfort, or other issues have been effectively addressed, and you feel that you've reached an optimal level of health and well-being, it may be time to discontinue regular chiropractic visits.

  2. Lack of progress: If you've been receiving chiropractic care for an extended period and haven't seen significant improvements in your condition, it might be worth considering other treatment options. It's essential to discuss your concerns with your chiropractor and explore alternative therapies that may be more effective for your specific needs.

  3. Financial considerations: Chiropractic care can be a financial investment, and if the costs are becoming prohibitive, it's crucial to weigh the benefits against the expense. Discuss your concerns with your chiropractor, who may be able to offer alternative treatment plans or payment options.

  4. Personal preferences: If you find that you're not enjoying chiropractic care or are uncomfortable with the treatments, it's essential to honor your personal preferences and explore other healthcare options. Your comfort and satisfaction with your care are crucial factors in achieving optimal health outcomes.

  5. Seeking a second opinion: If you're uncertain about your chiropractic care's effectiveness or have concerns about your treatment plan, consider seeking a second opinion from another healthcare professional. They may be able to provide additional insight and recommendations for your specific situation.

  6. Lifestyle changes: Sometimes, lifestyle changes can help address the root cause of your pain or discomfort, reducing or eliminating the need for chiropractic care. Consider incorporating exercise, a healthy diet, stress management techniques, and proper ergonomics into your daily routine to improve your overall health and well-being.


In conclusion, determining when to quit chiropractic care is a personal decision that should be based on your treatment goals, progress, financial considerations, and personal preferences.
