What to Expect at SpineAlign Chiropractic

Laying the Foundation for Total Health
Chiropractic care is like building a house—certain things have to happen in a particular 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. 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
- Phase 2: Corrective / Restorative Care
- Phase 3: Wellness Care

Care Phases (Relief → Corrective → Wellness)
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care two to three times per week for four to 12 weeks.
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 four to eight times per month for six to 24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor one to four times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
