PHASES OF CARE
Initial Intensive Care: If an ache, pain, or other
obvious symptom has prompted you to begin chiropractic care, the
first thing you want is to feel better. Office visits will be
frequent and your adjustments may be combined with other procedures
(such as massage) to help offer relief. Depending on your age,
condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks or months may
be needed to reduce or eliminate your symptoms.
Rehabilitative Care: Muscle and other soft tissue
damage often remain after the original symptoms improve.
Rehabilitative care stabilizes your spine and promotes more
complete healing. Visit frequency is reduced and you may be
encouraged to supplement your care with exercises and other
self-care procedures. With your ache or pain gone true healing can
occur. Stopping care at this stage may risk a relapse.
Maintenance Care: When maximum improvement is
reached, periodic chiropractic checkups are recommended. These
wellness visits can detect, and help correct, new problems before
they become serious. Health conscious adults choose this type of
care for themselves and their children. Like other preventative
health measures, maintenance care can save time and money by
helping you stay well.
Wellness Care: Wellness Care can incorporate
all phases of chiropractic care including a holistic approach to
greater health through individual programs addressing areas of
nutrition, exercise-fitness, and emotional health. Our staff of
Certified Wellness Practitioners are available to help each
individual reach their specific health goals.
