No. There are 3 types of care that our qualified Chiropractors offer. What you choose will depend on your immediate, short and long term health goals.

Relief Care

The primary focus of Relief Care is to help you get out of pain fast.

After a thorough consultation, exam and x-ray (if clinically indicated),reveals areas of your spine affected by Subluxation your Doctor of Chiropractic will in most cases recommend an adjusting schedule of 2-3 times per week for 2-4 weeks.

Research has shown that with uncomplicated postural and spinal problems that pain decreases by around by 50% in 6.7 visits.

Your Doctor of Chiropractic may also recommend home therapies such as icing and/or stretching at home.

Corrective Care

Is designed to help slow, stop and even reverse the damage caused by Subluxation in the spine. As your pain starts to go you will question why I still need to come. It is important to understand that the amount of degeneration that is present in your spine as seen on your x-rays is a telling sign how long the condition has been present.

Corrective Care has the ability to improve your posture and improve your spinal joint health by maintaining proper communication throughout the entire body.

During Corrective Care, your doctor may recommend visiting one to two times per week in addition to completing home spinal molding, and postural strengthening exercises.

Maintenance Care

Maintenance Care is designed to keep your spine free from Subluxation. While routine chiropractic can help improve health and well-being; it can also serve as an early detection system for new problems. Research shows that after two weeks of have a joint become stuck it has already started to degenerate. So for people wishing to maintain a Healthy Spine and Nervous System for life we recommend an adjustment and check up every 2-4 weeks.

Your Doctor of Chiropractic will also recommend Spinal molding and postural strengthening exercises along with a balanced diet, so that you can reach your highest health potential.

Under a qualified Chiropractor, a Chiropractic adjustment is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort because minimal force. In fact, most patients feel relief immediately following treatment. At The Posture Doctor we have a range of adjusting techniques ranging from very mild to firm.

Any reported soreness after an initial adjustment has been described as similar to that associated with starting a new exercise program. If you do have soreness, be sure to let your Doctor of Chiropractic know. We also using an ice pack, and gently encouraging light stretching to help ease any discomfort and promote healing.

The answer to this question depends on your presenting condition and overall goals. As mentioned above there are 3 types of care. Whatever your health goals we will help you reach them with the most appropriate program of care.
