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 of pain or discomfort are gone.
During the correction / restorative phase of your care, you will likely not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care and, depending on your particular circumstances, and you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing.
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. Pain flare ups and discomfort are a normal part of recovery and the corrective care phase of treatment. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed and still undergoing treatment. 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.
