A Path to Chiropractic Healing

As a chiropractic patient, you will undergo a three-stage process to heal your ailment. The process can be categorized into the relief, corrective and wellness care phases.

Relief Phase: This all-important first step concentrates on pain reduction. Therapies are selected that quickly bring an end to physical distress and discomfort. This includes techniques designed to reduce muscle spasms and any inflammation.

The goal is to enable you to go about your daily routine pain-free, without risk of further injury or especially, tissue damage.

Corrective Phase: This is when Dr. Teichman will correct the underlying problems that resulted in the condition in the first place. It includes rehabilitating and healing any damaged tissue. The idea is to prevent a future flare-up.

A critical part of the corrective care is that the patient follow the care instructions provided related to the condition. If not, re-occurrence of the problem is probable.

The recommendations may involve additional appointments, home exercises and maybe even meditation. Understand that even when pain has disappeared, additional healing time might be required to fully restore the patient back to optimal health.

Wellness Phase: Unfortunately, symptoms of chiropractic problems usually occur after the damage has been done to the tissue. So, to detect minor issues prior to them turning into full-fledged disturbances, Dr. Teichman will recommend periodic spinal check-ups. It may be yearly or more frequently. In fact, think of it as a dental check-up or an annual physical with your physician.
