WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Foundation for Wellness
Lighthouse Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center
focuses on your overall health in a personal way. We think of chiropractic care like building a house – ensuring that each step is performed greatly for it to stand strong. The same is true when it comes to caring for your body. Your body needs a plan of care in order to restore itself back to great health. There are typically three phases of chiropractic care:
Phase 1: Relief Care
The first thing we want to do is help you feel better. Depending on your situation, you would have to visit our office for care 2-4 times a week for 4-12 weeks.
Just because you don't feel any pain doesn't mean that there isn't anything wrong. Pain can be a poor indicator of health. Pain typically becomes an issue after a disease or condition has advanced. Whether you are talking about heart disease, stress, or problems with your spine, pain will be the last thing to appear. However, with our complete chiropractic care, pain will be the first problem to disappear.
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During this phase, we focus on the healing of muscles and other tissues. This helps to prevent any future injuries. Typically, you would have to visit our office for care 4-8 times a month for 6-24 months, depending on your health and situation.
It is very important to consistently receive care until your symptoms disappear. During this phase, you will not have to receive adjustments as often as Phase 1. Depending on your condition, you may begin doing stretches and exercises at home or in our center to aid with your healing.
If you experience any flare-ups during this phase, do not worry - this is normal. They can occur because your body has not full healed. Depending on your condition, Phase 2 can last from a few months to a couple of years.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Preventive care helps once your body has fully healed. We want to help you avoid problems in the future by coming in for periodic adjustments. Based on your goals, this should only be a quick visit to our office 1-4 times a month.
Maintenance is extremely important to help your body heal. Receiving routine chiropractic care helps keep physical problems away and keep your body in great condition. It is vital to continue care to ensure the health of your musculoskeletal system.
