Chiropractic Care: More than Pain Relief
How you choose to benefit from chiropractic care is a personal choice AND based upon your overall health and condition of your body when you present for assessment!! Bottom line: it is ALWAYS better to be evaluated sooner than later AT ANY AGE for optimal health and best results from a personalized plan of management.
There are basically 3 categories of chiropractic care – acute, maintenance or supportive. ⭐️ Learning about the differences in care will explain how these approaches work to provide symptom relief and/or help ensure you are achieving your functional, mobility (movement), and lifestyle goals.
✴️ ACUTE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is used for issues of the neuro-muscular-skeletal systems that have only been present for less than 3 months AND the goal is simply symptom relief... to help patients get back to their pre-injury level of function and mobility.
✴️ SUPPORTIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is for patients who have chronic underlying conditions, issues that have been present for more than 3 months, and chiropractic care is required help to manage their symptoms and prevent issues from getting worse. While full function may not be restored, the goal is to enhance mobility, reduce discomfort, and improve overall quality of life.
✴️ MAINTENANCE CHIROPRACTIC CARE ... It is recommended to have regular chiropractic assessments to prevent future issues from developing, aim to prevent injuries, and work to maintain long-term function and movement. Instead of waiting until symptoms such as pain, stiffness, or lack of movement appear, maintenance chiropractic visits ensure your neuromusculoskeletal system (nerves, muscles, and bones) stay functioning optimally.
