Stages of Care

Chiropractic treatment involves 3 stages of care namely relief care, corrective care, and wellness care. Relief care focuses on pain relief, pain reduction and significantly minimizing other discomforts. The primary focus of this stage is to provide symptomatic relief. The second stage known as corrective care focuses on healing the damaged tissues and restoring the function back to normal. The last stage is wellness care which aims to provide treatment in such a way that the previous symptoms or pain do not occur in the future.  It also helps prevent the degenerative spinal process from happening again.

Indeed, when you look from afar there ought to be three unmistakable bends; forward in the neck, in reverse in the mid-back, and forward in the low back.
