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 2-3 times
per week for 4-12 weeks.
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 4-8 times per month
for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your
problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has
fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid
problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the
chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
