phases of care
The stages of chiropractic care, relief care, corrective care, and wellness care,
represent a progressive approach to addressing health issues, restoring function, and optimizing well-being. Whether seeking immediate relief from pain, correcting underlying structural issues, or maintaining long-term health and vitality, chiropractic care offers a holistic and patient-centered approach to supporting health at every stage of life.
Once patients have achieved significant improvement in their condition and their spine and nervous system function optimally, they may enter the wellness care stage. Wellness care emphasizes proactive health maintenance, ongoing support, and prevention of future issues. Rather than waiting for symptoms to arise, patients engage in regular chiropractic adjustments to maintain spinal alignment, promote optimal nervous system function, and support overall well-being. Wellness care may also encompass lifestyle recommendations, nutritional guidance, and ergonomic advice to help patients adopt healthier habits and prevent the recurrence of health problems. By prioritizing proactive self-care and regular chiropractic visits, patients in the wellness care stage can enjoy improved quality of life, enhanced vitality, and long-term health benefits.

As patients progress beyond the relief care stage and their symptoms improve, they may transition to corrective care. The primary objective of corrective care is to address the underlying structural issues that contribute to pain, dysfunction, or recurring health problems. Chiropractors focus on correcting spinal misalignments, improving posture, and restoring proper biomechanics to address the root cause of the patient's condition. Corrective care often involves a more comprehensive treatment plan, including regular spinal adjustments, rehabilitative exercises, and lifestyle modifications tailored to the individual's specific needs. Through consistent and targeted interventions, corrective care aims to retrain the body's alignment and movement patterns, facilitating long-term healing and preventing future relapses.

In the initial stage, known as relief care, the focus is on providing immediate relief from pain and discomfort. Many patients seek chiropractic care during this stage due to acute conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or injuries resulting from accidents or sports-related activities. The goal of relief care is to address the symptoms and provide patients with much-needed relief, allowing them to function more comfortably in their daily lives.
