What to Expect

Laying the foundation

Building your health is like building a house - if you put up your walls before you build a solid foundation, they will be weak and collapse. If you try to put on the roof before the walls are ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular order of care to repair itself correctly and fully. There are two general phases of chiropractic care:

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Our goals are to decrease inflammation, reduce muscle tension, and restore proper joint motion. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need 2-3 treatments per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Stabilization

During stabilization, we will work with you to strengthen and balance your muscles, improve posture, and continue to maintain proper alignment to prevent injury. At this point, care frequency will be decreased.
