The 4 Phases of Care
You should always give chiropractic a fair chance to help you. It takes time to regain lost health.
Many patients discontinue chiropractic care, before they have had time to get well. These people are usually seeking a quick cure. Don't sacrifice your opportunity to regain your health. The hands-on nature of the chiropractic treatment and the fact that I provide acute, chronic, and/or preventive care, makes a certain number of visits sometimes necessary. I promise you that I won't expect you to have treatments longer than you need them. The following are The Four Phases of Care. The time it takes to get to a level of good health is different for each patient.
