Laying the foundation for total health

In some ways, one could say that Chiropractic care is a bit like building a house:  certain things have to happen in a particular order  for everything to stand strong and correctly work together . When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. If you tried to build your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. These concepts apply to your body as well, and Chiropractic care addresses many common reasons why people experience pain and other health issues. If something is not right with your body's foundation, than that needs to be addressed before true health can be achieved. With Chiropractic care, your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to correctly repair itself.  There are three general phases of  treatment . . .

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our  office, the first objective is to help you reduce your pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic treatment one to three times a week for four to six weeks.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. 

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed and you are no longer experiencing  pain or discomfort, it is important to come in for periodic Chiropractic adjustments to avoid further problems in the future. Depending on the original problem, this could be one time a month to once a year.
