Be Prepared to Feel better and help take control of your health.
Laying the foundation for Better health
Consider a pyramid. The base is wide and strong. The foundation- doing the basics first. Getting the core stronger and into equilibrium so the muscles and joints are not so stiff. This stiffness leads to imbalances and things breakdown leading to pain and dysfunction. People start to walk differently to favour the pain and stiffness.
If something is not right with your body's foundation, then that needs to be addressed before your overall health can be addressed. We focus on loosening stiff muscles and joints and getting weak parts stronger. As you begin to improve and the basics are addressed we can introduce other methods and modalites to try to fine tune and improve things even further.
Phase 1: Pain or Symptom Relief
If you are in pain when you come into our clinic, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Often, many patients get some sort of relief on the first visit or two. Some more serious conditions may take more time but we can give you a good estimate/prognosis at your first session.
​
Phase 2: Correcting the Underlying Causes Creating Issues
Oftentimes, when patient's feel better their treatments usually stop. This is understandable as many associate the lack of pain or symptoms with good health. This is the Pain Cycle Trap. If the problem comes back, then patients return. Eventually, over time and with the aging process things may not get better. At our office, we educate our patients because this is the time real healing can occur. We will outline a plan for you so that you can decrease your chance of reoccurrences and increase your chances for keeping your joints in good working order longer. Usually, phase 2 treatment is much more infrequent then when you were in pain. An emphasis on home stretching/exercises and other home advice will be given. In clinic treatments will be reduced as much as possible (usually one session every 1-2 weeks).
Phase 3: Preventive Maintenance/ Supportive Care
Once your body has healed and your pain/symptoms have been reduced, it is important to consider periodic visits to avoid future problems from reoccurring as frequently as they would without any care. Usually, this phase of care is every month or two depending on your lifestyle and goals.
This is a similar concept to continuing an exercise program and eating well in order to sustain the benefits of exercise and proper diet, it is necessary to ensure the health of your musculoskeletal system. This is ultimately a lifestyle choice -patients report that they avoid many of the aches and pains that so many people suffer through. Joints will last longer and you will be able to engage in more of the activities you love. When you can move better you are more likely to stay fitter overall and have a better quality of life and longevity.
