Abstract Background Among chiropractors the use of long-term treatment is common often referred to as maintenance care .

In public health terms maintenance care can be considered as both secondary and tertiary preventive care. The objective of this study was to explore what factors chiropractors consider before recommending maintenance care to patients .
