Corrective Care

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, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving chiropractic care even though your symptoms are gone. 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. Depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the clinic 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 may occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. The number of treatments needed is determined on an individual basis.
