How It Works
Evaluation
Before any treatment begins, understanding the root cause is paramount. Our evaluation involves:
- Comprehensive Consultation: Discussing your health history, present concerns, and health goals.
- Physical Examination: Evaluating your posture, mobility, reflexes, and muscle strength.
- Diagnostic Imaging: Using advanced X-ray facilities for a deeper look into your spinal structures.
Acute Care
Addressing the immediate pain or discomfort is our foremost priority in this stage. The focus is on:
- Immediate Relief: Providing treatments that offer fast relief from acute pain or discomfort.
- Reducing Inflammation: Using techniques like laser therapy to decrease swelling and promote healing.
- Stabilizing the Condition: Ensuring that the issue doesn’t escalate and setting the stage for the next phase.
Corrective Care
Once the acute symptoms are managed, we transition to treating the root cause of the problem. This phase involves:
- Spinal Adjustments: Aligning the spine to its proper position to rectify any underlying issues.
- Therapeutic Exercises: Strengthening muscles and enhancing flexibility to support the spine and prevent recurrences.
- Decompression Therapy: Targeting disc-related issues and promoting spinal health.
Wellness Care
After addressing the root cause, we focus on maintaining your health and preventing future issues. The wellness phase encompasses:
- Routine Check-ups: Regular spinal checks to ensure optimal alignment and function.
- Lifestyle Guidance: Offering advice on posture, nutrition, exercise, and more to foster holistic well-being.
- Preventive Techniques: Using proactive measures like home exercises to ward off potential future issues.
