Teaming Up for Optimal Health
Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a person's care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, however, the chances of the symptoms recurring are high. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to identify the underlying problem that has been causing you pain, and to correct that problem at its source. When the underlying problem is solved, a recurrence of the original symptoms will be much less likely!
During the correction / restorative phase of your care, you will 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 and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing.
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. In fact, flare-ups are an indicator that your body has embarked on a new "project" that will propel you another stop forward on your healing path! Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years. Your progress will be carefully monitored and recorded, to ensure that we are continuing on the best path and making good forward progress on your health goals.
