Phase 2: Corrective Care
Teaming Up for Optimal Health
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 rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone during your daily activities.
During the correction phase of your care, you will not have to perform as many adjunctive therapies during your office visits and you may begin doing more advanced exercises and stretches to help accelerate your healing. We will work to eliminate your joint restriction and inflammation in injured areas. When the doctor presses on these injured joints and they move smoothly without pain, your condition is considered stable and you are ready to be released.
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last for a few months.
