Laying the Foundation for Total Health
Chiropractic care is like building a house- certain steps must occur in a particular order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. You start with a solid foundation, then build strong walls, and finish with the roof. The same methodology holds true for your body when undergoing chiropractic treatment. To achieve this goal during your chiropractic care, we structure your treatment plan into three phases: Relief Care, Corrective/Restorative Care, Wellness Care.
Relief Care (Phase 1)
Our first objective is to provide you with relief as quickly as possible from any pain or tension you are experiencing when you initially come to our office. Through appropriate application of adjustments and/or modality treatments, we will start you on the road to recovery by reducing your level of pain. Depending on the severity of your condition, you can expect this phase to involve treatment 1-2 times per week from 4-12 weeks. If your condition requires X-ray or MRI imaging, you will be referred to an appropriate imaging site. You will be given all the information needed to follow your treatment plan every step of the way.
Corrective/Restorative Care (Phase 2)
During this phase, we concentrate on retraining your body to function and move in the way it is meant to. While we correct the misaligned pathways and allow your body to resume a full range of motion, muscles and other tissues are given the opportunity to heal more completely- leading to a greatly reduced risk of further injury. This phase varies from patient-to-patient and can require treatment 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months.
Wellness Care (Phase 3)
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to maintain this new form and function with periodic adjustments to avoid future issues. Just as we take care to regularly maintenance our vehicles, we want to put the same level of care into our health. This stage is ongoing and usually only requires a quick visit for adjustment 1-4 times per month depending on your lifestyle and personal goals.
