Teaming Up for Optimal Health

Many Chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If pain relief is the only goal for care, then the patient's condition will remain uncorrected and it will only be a matter of time for the symptoms to return.  In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.

During the correction / restorative phase of your care, you may not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care and, depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises  to help accelerate your healing.   This is a critical time for the patient and it is imperative that they do their part in the process of reaching a state of optimal health and wellness. 

Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your nervous system has not fully healed.  As patients improve they often overexert or push their spine to hard, and flare-ups often occur. Depending on the severity of the interference to your nervous system, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
