What to Expect
Laying the foundation
Chiropractic & Wellness care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for 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 . . .
Step One –
Concentrated Care Phase
The first thing most new patients want is to feel better.So, in
the beginning, visits are usually frequent. During this time we perform B.E.S.T,
K.S.T. and allergy elimination. We will review your food plan and offer guidance
in regards to any essential improvements needed in order to maximize your gains.
Depending upon your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks or
months may be needed to reduce your symptoms.
During this concentrated phase of care we will evaluate your
other vitamins, minerals and supplements. We will determine which ones are
helping you or hindering you in your quest for better health.
Once your symptoms have been reduced, the body is now able to heal. The corrective phase of care is designed for maximum healing to occur. At this stage, visit frequency is often reduced.
You may be urged to supplement your care with exercises, dietary
changes, or other self-care procedures. Without complete healing, discontinuing
care now can set the stage for a relapse.
This phase of care is 12 weeks. At the end of this period we will
re-evaluate your progress to determine your actual rate of recovery and what
additional recommendations might be needed in order for you to obtain and/or
maintain maximum health improvement.
For example: If you were to experience an improvement of 25% in
your first twelve weeks – at that rate, we would anticipate that you might need
an additional 36 weeks to obtain maximum health improvement. In this case we
would recommend another 12-week corrective care phase followed by re-evaluation
to determine your additional progress at that time
If you were to experience improvement of 50% during your first twelve weeks – then twelve more weeks may be needed for you to attain maximum health improvement at that rate.
If you were to experience an improvement of 75% it might be possible for you to obtain maximum health improvement in just 4 more weeks on the program before you are ready for maintenance.
The goal of the Wellness phase of care is to preserve the progress you have made. 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 preventative measures, a chiropractic wellness lifestyle can save time and money by helping you stay well. Frequency is determined on an individual basis, anywhere from monthly, to quarterly, semi-annually, or even annually. Each individual is different.
By incorporating good eating habits, pure water, nutritional supplements, exercise, proper rest and sleep, and positive thinking you will remain at the top of your game. You will maintain proper weight and eliminate food cravings; you will have boundless energy; you will have a positive sense of physical and emotional well-being. Your need for medicine and medical interventions will be reduced and as a result your longevity will be increased!
It is our goal that some or all of your prescription medications will become less necessary or not necessary at all. This decision rest solely between you and your medical doctor. It is illegal for us to interfere in that decision, and frankly, it is none of our business. We do, however, require that you inform your medical doctor of the program we have recommended.
