Types of Care Choosing the Chiropractic Lifestyle

In the Beginning Visits May be Frequent

Most patients start with Initial Intensive Care.

Like regular dental checkups, maintenance care can help prevent spinal decay and promote optimum health.

The first thing most new patients want is to feel better. So, in the beginning, visits are usually frequent. Your chiropractic adjustments may be combined with other procedures to help relieve your symptoms. Depending upon your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks or months may be needed to reduce your symptoms.

With your ache or pain reduced, the goal of Rehabilitative Care is for more complete healing to occur. Underlying muscle and soft tissue damage can remain, even after you feel better. At this stage, visit frequency is often reduced.

You may be urged to supplement your care with exercise, dietary changes, or other self-care procedures. Without complete healing, discontinuing care now can se the stage for a relapse.

 

After the recovery of your original problem, regular chiropractic "checkups" can help preserve your progress. Periodic visits can help catch little problems before they become major concerns. Wellness-minded adults and their children choose this type of care to look and feel their best. Like other preventive measures, a chiropractic lifestyle can save time and money by helping you stay well.

Like corrective lenses for the eyes, Rehabilitative Care helps normalize spinal function.

Visit frequency is reduced as patients respond to improved spinal function.

A chiropractic lifestyle combined with other healthy habits is part of a wellness approach to health.

Your doctor will recommend a chiropractic care program that is based upon how you function and how you feel.

Which Type of Care Fits Your Goals?

There are three types or stages of chiropractic care. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.
