Phases of the Chiropractic Treatment:

There are different treatment phases in which the chiropractor will detect and treat each patient according to their specific condition.

1 - Acute Phase: In this phase, the chiropractor manipulates or adjusts the patient´s joints and the patient follows the professional´s instructions, both working together with the purpose of obtaining immediate relief of pain or soreness, acting upon the root of the problem. Depending on the patient´s biomechanical diagnosis, age and physical condition, the treatment may vary from a single visit or more frequent visits in a shorter period of time.

2 - Corrective Phase: The objective of this phase is to restore the neuromusculoskeletal system.

3 - Maintenance Phase: Aims to settle the patient´s condition, preventing future injuries, with sporadic adjustments in order to maintain your back as healthy as possible.

Once established the phase to which the patient belongs, the chiropractor designs the treatment plan, explaining the benefits and risks involved in each procedure. In order for the patient to make a complete recovery and to prevent future problems for him, the chiropractor teaches the patient how to do home mobilization exercises, stretching and lifestyle changes. The average chiropractic treatment cycle ranges from 5-6 visits.
