What Types of Chiropractic Care Are Available?
The answer to what types of chiropractic care are available depends on whether you are referring to the chiropractic techniques available or the different phases of care which are offered.
As The Posture Chiropractor, Dr. Jennifer Price, D.C., focuses her practice mainly on postural correction through the use of ABC™ technique. However, Dr. Price’s chiropractic training goes beyond this single technique, and when indicated and appropriate, Dr. Price may add a modality to ABC™ treatment, such as myofascial release/soft tissue work, or even use a completely different technique all together.
Dr. Price sees chiropractic postural correction as an essential component of a natural health and wellness lifestyle and hopes that all of her patients will come to understand this and seek ongoing chiropractic care for a lifetime. However, it is obvious that most patients’ first concern is with pain relief. It is for this reason that Dr. Price works with each individual patient to come up with a care plan that suits their own needs and personal health and wellness goals. Though every course of care is tailored to the individual, the types of available care can be divided up in to different phases as follows:
Relief Care – initial care which is more frequent in nature (often requiring at least 2 treatments per week) and focused on achieving pain/symptom relief, typically lasting 4 to 8 weeks
Corrective Care – ongoing care after relief care which is focused on further correction of posture underlying problems in the spine, which is less intensive than relief care, but still requires frequent treatments (not less than once per week); this form of treatment can go on until the spine has achieved a complete unwind (a process which can take up to a couple years) or until the patient chooses to transition to maintenance care or to leave care
Maintenance Care – ongoing care which is less frequent but still at regular intervals to help maintain the correction achieved during relief care and prevent further biostructural breakdown and postural change; many individuals will maintain well with a monthly treatment, though others find that can go a bit longer, or may prefer to come a bit more regularly than that
Wellness Care – this usually refers to ongoing care for those who do not have pain or symptoms when starting care but who are seeking preventative care to enhance their wellness and quality of life; relief care is not necessary in these instances, and these patients typically start with less intensive frequency of care depending on their goals for care; many of the children under Dr. Price’s care fall in to this preventative wellness care category
