What to Expect

Your First Visit

Evaluation

The first time you come in to see us, we will complete a thorough examination and consultation so that we can determine the best course of action for you and your unique situation. Understanding you and your current condition as well as we can will allow us to establish a care plan that provides you the best path to optimal health.

Phase 1

Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our office, our first objective is to help you reduce the pain and to get you to start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2

Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help restore your body to functioning at 100%. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3

Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed and you are no longer experiencing back pain or other pain symptoms, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid potential issues in the future. Usually, this phase of chiropractic care only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
