Teaming Up for Optimal Health
Beyond Symptom Relief
Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a person's care. If all that the chiropractor does is reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater.
Why Continue Care After Pain Subsides?
In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.
What to Expect During This Phase
- •You will not need adjustments as often as during the first phase
- •Depending on your circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home
- •These activities help accelerate your healing process
Don't Be Discouraged by Mild Flare-ups
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed.
