What to Expect

Laying the foundation


Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .


Phase 1: Relief Care


If you are in 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.


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.


Phase 3: Wellness Care


Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.

Testimonial

Review By Our Satisfied Patient

  • "I was about 14 weeks pregnant and started to have terrible shooting pain in my lower back and down through my leg. I had been to Dr. Horvath for other things in the past, so I decided to see him again. Come to find out it was my sciatic nerve. Within one week of treatment he helped me tremendously! I was able to function comfortably again. I finished my treatments and continued periodic adjustments throughout my pregnancy. Without Dr. Horvath's help I don't know what I would have done! Thank you so much!"
