Stages Of Care

 

There are 3 stages of care

Our first goal in restoring yoiur health is to reduce your pain and improve your function to a tolerable level. More frequent treatments are necessary. In most cases pain relief takes about one month, which is not very long when you consider most problems have taken years to develop.

Improve Function/Rehabilitative Phase

Once your pain has been reduced we will begin the Rehabilitative phase of treatment. Your treatment will be directed toward improving function by restoring optimal strength and flexibility to the musculoskeletal system. you should be able to perform most daily activities during this phase.

Maintain Your Health/Wellness Phase

Once you have reached your maximum level of improvement our final goal is to maintain your health. This is achieved during the Wellness Phase of care. This is perhaps the most important service we provide for our patients. Periodic ezxaminations allow for early detection of joint and muscle dysfunction before they become painful. If allowed to go undetected and untreated, monor dysfunction can develop without symptoms ntil they are aggravated by work habits, lifestyle activities or other stress factors.
