You’ve finally gotten out of pain and feel great. So what comes next? It’s wellness care, which is the phase in chiropractic treatment where the focus shifts from addressing acute or chronic conditions to maintaining the body’s optimal function.
You can think of it as taking your car to the mechanic to get it serviced at recommended intervals so it will run smoothly and avoid potential breakdowns.
Health-Enhancement Care
Once patients reach the wellness phase, they are better equipped to handle physical, emotional, and chemical stressors. Wellness care helps patients adapt to life’s challenges, ideally keeping them pain-free or as close to it as possible.
So, how often should patients come in? The frequency of visits varies depending on the patient’s needs, ranging from once a month to every few weeks. This personalized approach ensures each patient receives care tailored to their unique health circumstances.
Many Components to Optimize Your Well-being
A wellness care plan at Denn Chiropractic typically includes regular chiropractic adjustments but may incorporate exercise therapy, modalities like ultrasound or electrical muscle stimulation, and massage therapy. Some patients prefer to have a massage before their adjustment and we accommodate that to ensure their care plan is as effective as possible. The goal is to keep the body functioning at its best to prevent future health issues.
Essential for Long-Term Health
Regular chiropractic visits during wellness care can prevent the body from falling back into misalignment, which helps avoid new injuries and illnesses. “I’ve seen patients who are less susceptible to things like the flu or even recover faster from injuries because their bodies are in better alignment,” shared Dr. Denn. Maintaining your body’s optimal alignment is key to living a healthy, active life.
