Laying the Foundation for Total Health
Chiropractic care is much like building a house—certain steps must happen in the right order to create a strong, stable structure. Imagine trying to put up walls before laying a solid foundation; the walls would be unstable and likely collapse. Or attempting to add a roof before the walls are ready—you’d face similar issues. The same principle applies to your body. Healing and restoring function requires a structured care plan so your body can repair itself properly and fully.
Generally, chiropractic care progresses through three phases:
Phase 1: Acute Care
Acute Care addresses the symptoms. This is the most intense portion of care with the objective to have you feeling better. Your adjustments will be frequent, ranging from multiple times per day, four times per week, three times per week, etc., varying on your present state. In conjunction with your adjustments, active care (therapeutic exercises) may be utilized to engage and re-educate muscle stability. Nerve to muscle memory is influenced by your age, condition, and most of all, your lifestyle. Acute care is approximately a three-month duration with time and repetition essential to your success.
Phase 2: Optimal Care
Optimal Care addresses the stressors known as the 3T’s (thoughts, traumas, and toxins). These are the emotional, physical, and chemical stressors leading to the underlying cause of dis-ease. While not only stabilizing your spine and nervous system, optimized care promotes better function and optimal healing. Energy levels can change, breathing is easier, metabolism is boosted, and long-term healing continues. With these systems addressed, optimal health is within reach. The CORE score has improved and change in the positive direction is noticed. Optimal care is approximately twelve months of consistent care with accompanying lifestyle changes and the frequency of adjustments is often reduced.
Phase 3: Optimal Care
Lifestyle Care is based on your commitments and maximizes the expression of perfection within. Life is expressed at its fullest. We continue to monitor and manage the nervous system on a weekly basis, addressing any subluxations present. These preventive measures save time and money by promoting a vibrant life.
