Is Your Recovery Taking Off?

"From time to time, I’m asked how we create a care plan; how many visits and how frequent should they be. This is where experience and the ‘art’ of chiropractic come into play.

"During the examination, I’m recording what I find and comparing it with similar cases we’ve helped. I’m evaluating your condition, its severity, your age, lifestyle, attitude and dozens of other factors. Each plays a role in the recommendations I eventually make for the first phase of your care.

"If the visits are too far apart, we never create enough of a momentum to reverse the downward trend that prompts people to seek care in our office. Just like an airplane has to develop enough speed to produce the lift to take off, so too with our initial care recommendations. If the visits are too frequent, the body doesn’t have enough time to put the adjustments to use, and in a sense, the energy is “wasted.” There’s a real skill in picking the right balance between too frequent and not frequent enough.

"Sometimes I misjudge. But most of the time there are other factors. In fact, we’ve identified almost a dozen issues that can be involved. So, if you’re not progressing as quickly as you’d hoped, click here and see what else might be going on."

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What does a chiropractic adjustment do?
Chiropractic adjustments give your spine a little "nudge" at the right place, right time and the right direction so your body can use that energy to "right" itself. With a schedule of consistent chiropractic visits, a new, healthier spinal pattern emerges.
