dependent upon your specific condition. It's hard to say how long it will be until you see relief—
it could be as short as a week or up to a month. If you are not responding to chiropractic care
during this phase, you may be referred to another health-care provider.
Chiropractic Care - Rehabilitative Care
Once your condition has stabilized, you enter the second phase of chiropractic care, where the
objective is to correct any underlying injury or cause of discomfort, strengthen the muscles, and
improve neuromusculoskeletal function. The frequency of office visits is reduced over a period
of two to six weeks. Care may be supplemented by rehabilitation exercises, nutrition, and
modification of daily habits.
It is important to remember that many of the conditions for which people seek chiropractic care
have developed over many years; therefore, correcting these problems is a true rehabilitative
process. It helps to understand that it takes time to correct these conditions.
Once your discomfort has subsided, you may think all is well and choose to abandon your
efforts. However, if you end your chiropractic care before fully healing the muscles and soft
tissues, you can invite a relapse. This is a mistake many people make, and it sets them up for
recurring health issues.
It's hard to believe that, after all the time, effort, energy, and money put into correcting a
problem, a patient would choose to forgot this relatively easy phase of chiropractic care! As
much as we'd love to see you in our office, we'd much rather assist you in maintaining your
health rather than relieving your pain.
Chiropractic Care - Wellness Care
You then "graduate" to the wellness phase, which is designed to maintain your improved
health, encourage normal spinal function, prevent the return of the original condition, and catch
small problems before they become serious. A personal wellness chiropractic care program
will be designed specifically for you where we teach you how to incorporate good nutrition and
exercise habits into your everyday life, thereby promoting vitality, endurance, and the ability to
enjoy life at its fullest.
A good way to look at chiropractic is to relate it to dentistry. We all know it takes a long time to
develop tooth decay, but with regular maintenance and check-ups, the plaque doesn't have a
chance. Similarly, it often takes a long time to develop a spinal misalignment. But with regular
maintenance, the bones will not have a chance to get out of line.
Few things as complicated as your body can be "fixed" and then ignored. Think of your car, your
teeth, or your relationships. They take time and effort to maintain, but you know it's worth it in the
long run. That's why we recommend a regular schedule of chiropractic check-ups.
You can then congratulate yourself on achieving your ultimate goal: optimal health.
