Laying the foundation

Our office incorporates physical therapy modalities, chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy, traction., and exercise rehabilitation to help you reach your health goals. We work directly with primary care physicians, orthopedic surgeons, pain management, radiology, neurology and physical therapy to ensure you get comprehensive care. 

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in acute 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 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.We may refer you for a medical management check up if your condition warrants pain medication, or for x-rays or MRI if necessary.

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 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.During this phase, we focus on stretching, strengthening, range of motion and endurance and teach you home exercises and lifestyle changes that can help accelerate your improvement.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it may be benefiical to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this may entail preventative maintenance treatment between once a month or every few months, depending on your condition and your level of commitment to home exercise, stretching, and your individual activities of daily living.
