Phase 2: Corrective Care

Teaming Up for Improved Health

Most patients find that the elimination of symptoms is the easiest part of their care. Without adequately resolving the underlying mechanical problem, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are much improved.

During the correction / rehabilitative phase of your care, you will not have to receive treatments as often as you did during the first phase of care. And, depending on your particular circumstances, you will probably begin doing specific exercises and stretches both at the clinic and at home to help accelerate your healing.

Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
