After we have heard your goals and have a clearer understanding of the cause of your problem or symptoms, you will start on an Initial or Intensive Plan of Care. The primary purpose of this phase is on relief.
During these visits, the main treatment focus will be chiropractic adjustments. Modalities such as muscle therapy, therapeutic exercise, traction, etc., may also be performed. Your MCR Chiropractic chiropractor will also provide health education that is specific to your issues.
Your treatment schedule will consist of 2-3 treatment visits per week for approximately 6 to 8 weeks, depending on the severity of your issue and your goals for care. A progress update or re-evaluation will be performed every 4 weeks or sooner if needed.
We understand that each patient’s timeline to feel relief differs based on their overall health condition, length of time with the issue, and compliance with the treatment plan. Therefore, treatment plan compliance in this phase is vital as it also sets up success for the next phase of care.
It’s important to know that until you have experienced a certain degree of relief, your body can’t truly move into healing or correction (“fixing”) mode.
