People who wait to be seen by medical professionals often have lengthier recoveries.

When people show up for their appointments, they receive through exams that are performed with cutting-edge digital imaging equipment when necessary. These providers also explain the exam findings and address the concerns of each patient. After having identified the underlying causes of discomfort, chiropractors can offer three distinct phases of care.

The first consists of relief care, as its focus is on alleviating pain. The number of appointments needed depends on the amount of pain the patient is experiencing.

The next phase of care is corrective and restorative and is designed to promote tissue and muscle healing. This usually takes between six months and two full years, with patients schedule for four to eight monthly visits.

The final step or step three is called wellness care and its starts once the body has healed complete. Adjustments are performed on a periodic basis to prevent injuries from recurring.
