Your first visit
There are three phases of care that patients will travel through during their course of treatment. Each phase gives separate and distinct benefits, and each takes a different time frame depending on your initial condition.
This phase is typically the initial stage because most patients enter our office in some degree of pain. It can be characterized by swelling, lack of motion, muscle spasm or just plain feeling lousy. Treatment can consist of various forms of physical therapy, ice therapy to reduce swelling, and chiropractic adjustments of the spine. This stage can last a few days to several weeks.
The corrective phase begins when the pain has significantly been reduced. Treatment continues to utilize physical therapy to keep muscle spasm in check and re-educate those same muscles into their normal tone and length. Strengthening programs are also implemented to begin the stabilization progress.
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. In this phase you’re feeling your best and are at your peak performance. Wellness care is the best and easiest way to keep you here!
