Phase 2: Corrective Care

Teaming Up for Optimal Health

Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons 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 the correction phase of your care, you will continue to get adjustments plus you will be taught stretches and exercises for your particular condition. These exercises are designed to help retrain your muscles and restore proper posture. Many of the exercises we teach are done on the body ball. These exercises are done both in-office and at home to accelerate your healing. We also use traction devices as well as other tools to assit in the correction of your posture.

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 anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
