Laying the foundation

Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular sequence 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. We have a variety of treatments options to address all types of pain. A treatment plan will be assigned to you based on your individual needs.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. In this phase of care, stretching and strengthening of the musculature is typically utilized to help you feel better for a longer period of time.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it is often recommended to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. This often requires a quick visit to the chiropractor to maintain your level of health
