At Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville, our chiropractic care is designed to guide you through different phases of healing and wellness. Each phase plays an important role in addressing the root cause of your pain and promoting long-term health and well-being.
Many patients first seek chiropractic care because they are experiencing pain. In this initial phase, the primary goal is to reduce your symptoms and provide relief. Depending on the severity of your condition, this phase may require daily visits or two to three appointments per week for a period of time.
It’s important to understand that the absence of pain doesn’t necessarily mean you’re healthy. Pain is often the last symptom to appear in many health conditions, from tooth decay to heart disease, and it’s also the first to subside once treatment begins. However, the underlying issue often remains and needs to be addressed for lasting results.
While symptom relief is essential, addressing the root cause of your condition is key to preventing future problems. During the corrective phase of care, your visits may become less frequent, but it’s crucial to continue your treatment to ensure full recovery. This phase may also include exercises and stretches, either at home or at our center, to support your healing process.
It’s not uncommon to experience mild flare-ups of symptoms during this phase. These are normal and a part of the healing process. Depending on the severity of your condition and how long it has been present, corrective care may last several months or longer.
Once your body has fully healed, ongoing chiropractic care can help you maintain your health and prevent the return of physical issues. Much like regular exercise and a balanced diet are essential for long-term fitness, routine chiropractic care ensures the continued health of your musculoskeletal system.
Incorporating chiropractic care into your wellness routine helps prevent many common aches and pains, keeps your joints functioning optimally, and allows you to enjoy a more active lifestyle.
