What to Expect from Chiropractic Care 

Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care.

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain or have other symptoms that are affecting your life when you come into West Coast Chiropractic Carlsbad, our first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.  Depending on your goals, you can choose to end care at this point or proceed to Phase 2. 

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 1-2 times per week for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.  At this point, you have the option of whether or not to move to Phase 3 of care.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to see your chiropractor for periodic maintenance adjustments to avoid problems in the future and maintain the positive changes. Usually, this only requires you get adjusted 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.  Remember, the length of time that you choose to maintain your spine and benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.
