The Chiropractic profession is often poorly misunderstood, and many people have no experience with Chiropractors. Chiropractic is founded upon the premise that when spinal bones are functioning in normal motion and position, the central nervous system can deliver its vital energy for the proper function of the body's tissues, organs and systems. With this philosophy, Chiropractic is not simply treatment for pain! A Safer Approach—from Acute Care to Ongoing Wellness Care Conventional treatment and management approaches for injury and chronic conditions—non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), corticosteroids, and muscle relaxants—have potential for serious adverse effects. Combining clinical nutrition with chiropractic care offers a safe and demonstrated effective approach to injury recovery and long-term patient care. Our Goal: Correct your problem with a Personalized Plan As a patient undergoes treatment at our office they will progress through several phases. First relief, then healing, rehabilitation and maintenance. It is only possible to give an estimate of how long treatment will take by thoroughly evaluating the extent of damage and injury in a particular patient. Theses phases are summarized as follows: Relief- Once misalignments start to correct through chiropractic adjustments the pressure on nerves are relieved. Many symptoms once experienced may disappear or be lessened to a degree. Healing- Once the injured spine or joint is realigned, muscles ligaments, tendons and the surrounding soft tissue must heal properly and adapt to the new position. Laser therapy, massage or electric muscle stimulation (EMS) may be applied to speed up this process and ensure a better quality of healing. Rehabilitation- Once the injured area is corrected as much as your body will allow, rehabilitation exercises and instructions on proper body mechanics will be given. This helps strengthen the area and helps prevent re-injury. Maintenance- A check up may be required on a monthly basis for a period of time to make sure the injury is maintaining it proper position. Maintenance care is always a good idea to ensure that the spinal bones remain aligned properly, nerves are free of pressure and thus resulting in a better health. |
