At Vissers Chiropractic, we strive to help you reach your
optimum level of health. We have found that the majority of
our patients have improved dramatically with a two stage
treatment program.
Stage One - Pain Relief
If injuries sustained in an automobile accident, work
related incident, or aches and pains from everyday activity
has prompted you to begin chiropractic care, the first
priority is to feel better. Your treatment will be designed to
promote fast pain relief and a speedy return to work and
favorite activities. Frequent visits are usually needed to
relieve symptoms and begin the healing process. Depending on
your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks
or months may be needed to reduce or eliminate your symptoms.
Stage Two - Stabilization
Stabilization is designed to help maintain proper
position and motion of spinal bones. After a decrease in the
severity of symptoms, treatment can become more active.
Usually this treatment will include "Therapeutic Exercises"
which are designed to strengthen weakened and/or injured
muscles. Visit frequency is reduced and you will be encouraged
to supplement your care with stretching and exercises outside
the office. These exercises are designed to continue your
rehabilitation and decrease your need for active treatment.
Completion of Care
When maximum improvement is reached, most patients are
released with lifestyle instructions
that should reduce the likelihood of
a reoccurrence of their symptoms. Patients are also
instructed to return should they experience a new injury or
a flare-up of previous symptoms.
