The primary aim of chiropractic care given at Liverpool Chiropractic Clinic is to help restore the balance and symmetry of the bodyÔÇÖs structure and function, in order to reduce pain and optimise and maintain health. To do this we try to help reduce the physical, chemical and nervous system stresses that we find.
Relief Phase
At the start of the treatment plan our goal is to reduce pain and increase function as quickly as possible. We will use soft tissue and spinal adjustments to improve the function of your joints and muscles, reduce overload, inflammation and muscle spasm. This usually involves a higher frequency of appointments, and you may not feel improvement straight away but within 4-6 treatments you should see significant changes.
Rehabilitation Phase
Once you are in less pain, it’s important to restore proper stability, joint mobility and muscular strength while preventing future relapses through specifically tailored exercises, core stability training and lifestyle advice. These treatments are less frequent and will place an emphasis on you to maintain these benefits.
Maintenance / Check Up Phase
Statistics show that back pain is often recurring. Now that youÔÇÖve spent a lot of time and effort getting your body working better, it makes sense to keep it that way. In this stage the appointments are further apart (sometimes every month, 3 months or even 6 months) and involves a thorough check up in order to prevent future relapses and maintain all improvements. How long you would like to benefit from chiropractic care is entirely up to you and a plan of care can be stopped at any time.
