Chiropractic 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 . . .

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 a designated period of time.

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 3-12 months, depending on your health and the severity of your problem. Of course, correcting the problem is encouraged to make permanent change, but is completely your choice.

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to keep up with periodic check-ups to avoid problems in the future. Frequency of wellness checks is usually based on your lifestyle and goals.
