Laying the Foundation for Total Health
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care:
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care two to three times per week for two to four weeks with reevaluation, as is the case for many people who have been in car accidents or injured at work.
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care four to eight times per month with length varying, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem. With motor vehicle collisions or other serious injuries the amount of care needed could be extended.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor once per month, based on your lifestyle and goals. We do not require patients to follow any specific plan and understand that many things effect your ability to come in monthly such as time constraints, travel, budget concerns. Our patients schedule as needed and our office supports the flexibility your life requires with extended hours and no pressure scheduling.
