The 3 Stages of Chiropractic Care

Typically, a chiropractic patient will go through three levels of care. First, we have symptomatic relief. This involves efforts to reduce pain, anxiety, and/or any other discomforts. Secondly, we have the stage that deals with the healing of tissues and normalization of body functions. Finally, the third stage involves periodic spinal care to thwart any new injuries, reduce the risk of future flare-ups of past injuries, and avoid the occurrence of degenerative spinal processes.

1. RELIEF CARE

Basically, this stage involves offering symptomatic relief to a patient. Here, a chiropractor focuses on therapies that minimize your pain and discomfort as soon and as effectively as possible. The aim is to enable you to get on with your normal living as it’s practically possible. Generally, you’ll be encouraged to take everything easy even as you remain mobile and keep your body functional. The caution is: don’t risk further injury. Also applied at this stage are therapy techniques to lower inflammation and/or muscle spasm.

2. CORRECTIVE CARE

At this second stage, your chiropractor will try to identify and correct the conditions that may have caused your condition. Corrective measures to heal and restore the health of injured tissues are also applied here. This raises the prospects of a favorable result and helps avoid future recurrences. Here, it’s critical that you fully understand and comply with your doctor’s instructions. Stick to the appointments, follow the home exercise regimen, and follow any other recommendations instructed. And even if your initial pains and discomforts have reduced, don’t relax the doctor’s routines because the complete healing of tissues and restoration of normal body functionality takes longer.

3. WELLNESS CARE

This is the final stage of chiropractic care. Here, most symptoms of spinal tissue injuries have disappeared. Spinal biomechanics are normal again. But you still need periodic check-ups on your spine. Depending on your doctor’s recommendation, this may happen weekly, monthly, or even annually. Just as periodic dental check-ups are important to your teeth, regular chiropractic check-ups are also very advantageous to your spine. Like it happens with tooth cavities or heart attacks, permanent tissue damage can happen before symptoms become obvious. Therefore, regular check-ups give you a better chance of arresting minor issues early and correcting them before they can blow out of proportion.
