In our clinic, one of the first questions we ask our patients
during the consultation is -- what are their health care goals? Some
people come in with a specific pain. They want that pain treated
and when the pain is gone -- that's all they want. They will come
back when it hurts again.  Other people come in with a good understanding
of chiropractic care, and they want lifetime care for themselves
and their families. Most people come in not really sure of that they
want or what their choices really are.
This is why we try to educate the patients as much as possible in
regards to what their choices are. Then we let the patients decide
which form of care they will pursue relative to their own personal
health-care goals.
Basically, there are three types of care. In our clinic we explain
these three types of care in detail using hand-outs, and at the report
of findings. It is then up to the patient to make an educated choice
about his or here care. The three types of care are as follows:
Initial Intensive Care
This phase of care is to relieve you of
the symptoms that brought you to the clinic. The goal is to relieve
or reduce your major complaint, and to begin stabilizing your vertebral
subluxation complex. This phase of care may take only a few visits,
or may last for months. It depends on the severity of your symptoms,
how long you've had the problem, your age, your lifestyle, etc. This
phase of care requires frequent visits to move the vertebrae and
stabilize the area.

Corrective Care
This phase of care is to restore the normal alignment
of the spine, thereby reducing as much as possible any pressure on
your nervous system. The goal here is to return the spine to as normal
a state as possible for the individual, and then to stabilize it
from there. This helps to keep the original problem from returning.
This phase of care may last from months to years. A good analogy
is that of braces on teeth which may take 1 - 5 years. The spine,
which is far more complex than your teeth, takes time to change.
Visits are less frequent here than during initial care.

Maintenance Care
This phase of care is to maintain the progress
you have made during the first 2 phases of care. The goal here is
to maintain the current condition of your spine and to keep it functioning
at its maximum. Maintenance care lasts the rest of your life. It
becomes part of your normal health care like exercise or taking vitamins.
Once you have your nervous system and spine working at its best -
how long should you maintain it? - Always! Frequency of visits here
depends on your lifestyle, stress level, age, etc.
The analogy we use here is - when are your teeth clean enough that
you don't need to brush them anymore? Or, when have you exercised
enough that you don't need to again? When you look at lifetime chiropractic
maintenance care in this light, it makes perfect sense!
In conclusion, our approach is to educate patients as to the different
types of care. It is then their responsibility to select the type
of care that best suits their health-care goals. We find that educated
patients who participate in making decisions, and take responsibility
for the choices they make, tend to get better results. Your health
care is your choice. Try to make the most educated choice that you
can.
