Phase 1: Relief Phase of Care
If you are experiencing pain when you visit our office, our primary goal is to provide relief and help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your injury, this phase typically involves care 2-3 times per week over an extended period. This consistent care is designed to reduce pain and inflammation, allowing your body to begin the healing process effectively. Phase 2: Corrective Phase of Care
In the corrective phase of care, the focus shifts to allowing muscles and other tissues to heal properly. This phase is crucial for preventing re-injury or future injuries by addressing the underlying issues that contributed to the original problem. With dedicated care during this stage, your body gains the stability and strength needed for long-term health. |

Phase 3: Strengthening Phase of Care
In the strengthening phase of care, the focus is on rebuilding strength in the injured areas after the initial healing process is complete. This stage is vital for enhancing stability, preventing future injuries, and supporting long-term recovery. During this phase, the frequency of visits to your chiropractor will typically decrease as your body continues to regain strength and function. Phase 4: Maintenance Phase of Care
After your body has fully healed and strength has been regained or improved, ongoing care becomes essential for maintaining your health and preventing future problems. Periodic chiropractic adjustments during this phase help support the health and function of your spine and joints while enhancing nerve function throughout your body. This proactive approach ensures long-term wellness and keeps you feeling your best. |
