What Kind of Patient am I?
Relief Care Patient
Patients often seek chiropractic care after a recent injury, a flair up of a old issue or untreated chronic pain. Our first objective is to help our patients find relief from their complaint as efficiently as possible. Depending on the severity of the problem, it is typical to start care two to three times per week for four to 12 weeks. As our patients progress, they are transitioned to a treatment plan that will better suit their needs.
Rehabilitative Care Patient
Commonly, this patient deals with frequent headaches, chronic low back/ neck pain, or in the healing process from an injury. This is a transition period of maintenance care that focuses on strengthening weakened muscles and promoting healthy movement patterns, which helps prevent recurring injury. It is typical to need care four to eight times per month for six to 24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of the complaint.
Wellness Patient
This patient receives periodic adjustments that play a vital role in preventing future injuries, maintaining optimum function, remaining pain free and enhancing the quality and longevity of life. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor one to four times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals. Our goal is to transition all of our patients to wellness care.
