What to Expect

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 your walls up before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put your roof on before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. This is also true of 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. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 2-10 weeks.


Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care


During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is common to need care 1-2 times per month for 6-12 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.


Phase 3: Wellness Care


Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor, based on your lifestyle and goals.
