General phases of chiropractic care
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 . . .
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.
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.
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.
First visit
Next you will have a consultation with your doctor to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, as well as potential treatment options. Your first visit is designed for your doctor to learn more about you, your condition and your expectations to determine whether chiropractic care will you meet your goals...
After your consultation, the doctor will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes, your ability to turn and bend as well as other standard neurologic, orthopedic, postural, and physical examinations. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent.
Your specific condition may require us to take x-rays to to get a full evaluation of a patient. X-rays help us rule out more serious conditions or assist us in developing the most effective treatment plan for you. Most people are amazed once they are x-rayed and can often immediately identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.
Once all the information and examinations have been performed, the doctor will give you a report of findings to answer the three most popular questions: Can you help me? What do you recommend that I do to get better? How much is it going to cost? After discussing with you your history and your goals, examining your spine and reviewing any x-rays or tests, the doctor will discuss recommendations with you. If you have a condition that requires care with other providers, the doctor will tell you. If the doctor believes we can help you, we will recommend treatment and a wellness program.
