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 nutrition and other procedures 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 aches and pains gone, true healing can occur. Stopping care at this stage may risk a relapse.

Wellness Care

When maximum improvement is reached, periodic 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, wellness care can save time and money by helping you stay well.

How long you decide to benefit from care is always up to you.
