Many chiropractors believe that getting rid of symptoms is the simplest part of patient care. However, the chances of the symptoms returning are much higher if all the chiropractor does is temporarily relieve the pain and then stop care.
Even if the symptoms disappear, necessary precautions remain and you should still receive treatments as a preventative measure. The restorative/corrective phase of care does not mean you have to receive adjustments as often as the original phase. You may begin stretches and exercises at home or in our office to assist in speeding up your healing.
Mild flare-ups are normal and should not be a cause for concern. Occasional flare-ups typically appear because one’s body is still in a phase of healing. Corrective care can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years depending on the severity of a patient’s condition.
Dr. Rosenfeld has given me lasting relief from pain
"In 1982 I was catapulted from a motorcycle causing whiplash, neck and low back injuries. Many years of an untreated condition and compression created much pain, discomfort and subluxation. After seeing another chiropractor for 15 years it was time for a change. During those 15 years I had many visits and physical therapy that gave me temporary pain relief and muscle toning and strenuously. Temporary relief. I was referred to Dr. Rosenfeld by Barbara Anderson who is a Rolfing therapist. Dr. Rosenfeld has given me lasting relief from pain and the ability to maintain a longer adjustment much and I have much gratitude and appreciation!"
