Laying the Foundation for Chiropractic Care
Dr. Campbell reviewing x-rays.
Chiropractic care is comparable to building a house. Every house requires a solid foundation for it to be strong and stable for years to come. Likewise, the foundation of the body—the spine—needs to be robust for the rest of the body to perform optimally. We hope to assist you toward becoming pain free and staying that way.
The New Patient Process
Your first visit will be about one hour in duration and consist of the following:
- Initial paperwork
- A discussion of your health history
- A physical examination
- An explanation of findings
- Treatment for relief!
Assuming X-rays are not necessary at this appointment, all subsequent visits with no new injuries will include a chiropractic adjustment lasting no more than 15 minutes.
Phases of Care
There are three general phases of chiropractic care that Parkside Back & Neck Care works through:
Relief Care. If you enter our office in pain, the primary objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your condition, two to three visits per week for one to three months is the standard care timeline.
Rehabilitative Care. During this time, ligaments, muscles and other tissues are allowed the time to heal more thoroughly with regular care. Often rehabilitative care is necessary after car crash/auto accident injuries and on-the-job injuries. These treatment plans vary widely and are tailored individually, depending on the type of injury or condition.
Wellness Care. Once your body has fully healed, it is essential to visit periodically for chiropractic adjustments to maintain your progress and avoid future complications. Most patients require one to four visits per month based on their lifestyle and objectives.
