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.
I no longer feel frazzled or out of sorts.
"I had neck pain that I had suffered from since a car accident in June of 2005. I suffered with this pain everyday - sometimes mildly and sometimes more severely. Also, my adrenal glands were shot and I was feeling a lot of stress. I had been seeing another chiropractor for about a year with little results. My pain never really went away despite facet blocks, trigger point injections and physical therapy. My mother told me about Dr. Rosenfeld and I made an appointment. My neck is feeling so much better. My flare-ups are few and when they do occur Dr. Rosenfeld resolves them quickly. The DSF supplement has helped me tremendously. I no longer feel frazzled or out of sorts. Thank you!!!"
