Chiropractic Care:

  Phase 1 ‚ Acute / Intensive Spinal Correction

Initially, you may require frequent adjustments - every time you come in for a spinal check-up. The scar tissue around your joints and nerves, and the stress damage of your ligaments, tendons and muscles due to years of chronic subluxations, makes it difficult for your spine to hold its adjustments.
  • Your chronic (long-standing) or acute (recent) subluxations have damaged your vertebrae, joints, nerves, discs, muscles, meninges, tendons and ligaments.
  • Your spine is weak and unstable and your adjustments hold briefly and incompletely.
  • You may have advanced spinal degeneration.
  • Height loss, stiffness, tightness, tension and constant physical or emotional pain is common at this level, as is dullness and premature aging.
  • Your posture is off-centre; your spine is unbalanced.
  • You energy is low, your breath is shallow and your ability to adapt to life's stresses is compromised.
  • You have less sensitivity to your physical and psychological needs.
  • You may have many symptoms ‚ a sign that your body is struggling to heal.

  Phase 2: Corrective Spinal Healing

You are starting to hold your adjustments for longer periods, but you are still subluxation prone. Your subluxation pattern may shift and different areas may need to be adjusted on each visit. Continued corrective care helps your vertebrae, nerves, discs, muscles, tendons, ligaments and other structures strengthen and heal.
  • Your spine is beginning to respond to chiropractic care ‚ you are experience less intense subluxation damage.
  • Height loss slows or stops, flexibility improves, as do physical and emotional overall well being.
  • Your spine does not yet hold adjustments for long periods; consistent subluxation correction is needed for healing and stability of your vertebrae, joints, nerves, discs, muscles, meninges, tendons and ligaments.
  • Spinal degeneration has halted and may be decreasing.
  • Energies begin to flow better; your breath may be more noticeable.
  • Sensitivity to your physical and psychological needs increases.

  Phase 3: Health Enhancement

Your spine is being trained to maintain its alignment and increase in flexibility and strength. By having you and your loved ones’ spines checked on a periodic basis, many of the problems caused by an unhealthy spinal column can be corrected and prevented.
  • Your spinal column is releasing its chronic vertebral subluxation damage.
  • Your chiropractic spinal adjustments holding for longer periods, permitting increased healing of your spinal vertebrae, joints, nerves, discs, muscles, meninges, tendons and ligaments.
  • Spinal degeneration is reversing.
  • Your energy improves, breathing is deeper and you experience great relaxation and better sleep.
  • You notice that you are adapting better to life’s stresses.

  • You are better able to adapt to your physical, emotional and chemical stresses.
