Chiropractic
results vary. Some patients get results quickly. Others find their
recovery takes several months or longer. Children often respond quickly, while
adults with long-standing spinal problems heal more slowly. The healing process
takes time.
There
are three stages of chiropractic care. Periodic progressive examinations help
determine the course of your care. Once you understand true health, you may
want some type of ongoing chiropractic care. Like brushing your teeth, eating
wholesome foods, and other healthy habits, a regular chiropractic checkup
makes sense. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always
up to you.
INITIAL
INTENSIVE CARE
This
is usually where most patients begin their chiropractic care. Visits can be
frequent, depending upon the severity of your condition. The primary focus
is to reduce or eliminate your most obvious symptoms.
REHABILITATIVE
CARE
With
your ache or pain diminished, the objective is to stabilize spinal function
and promote a more complete healing. Muscles and soft tissues of the spine
are strengthened during this stage of care, helping to avoid a relapse.
WELLNESS
CARE
With the
maximum restoration
of spinal function many patients enjoy regular chiropractic "checkups."
This type of preventative wellness care can save time and money by helping
to avoid little problems from becoming serious.
