What can I expect
of my treatment plan at Chiropractie Centraal
Intake
During your intake we will discuss your medical history with you and we will perform a physical examination. We will have an in-depth discussion with you about our treatment plan and answer all the questions you may have. If needed we may conduct further tests including: a posture analysis, myovision scan.
The Intensive Phase
During this phase we try to get you out of most pain(s) and discomfort(s) as fast as possible. The functioning and range of motion of your spinal column and nervous system are also improved. We’ll see you more often during this phase. How often is dependent on your personal care plan that you set up with your chiropractor.
Evaluation
Your progress during the intensive phase is discussed with your chiropractor during this appointment. After analyzing the results, a new care plan is set up for the next stage of healing. It is during this appointment that you will receive exercises to complete at home.
The Stabilization Phase
During this phase you’ll start with the exercises you got during the evaluation. The exercises have been specifically selected for your needs and are important to strengthen the muscles along your spine. The chiropractic treatments continue to ensure that your spine stays aligned and stabilizes. Your body will continue to process the healing effects and the appointments are spread out more as healing progresses. This phase is especially vital to avoid relapse (see graph below).
Reevaluation
During this appointment you will discuss the results and healing of the second phase with your chiropractor. You will also have ample time to address any concerns or questions you may still have. Together you will check to see what the best route is for your body towards maintenance and prevention.
The Maintenance Phase
The appointments are spread out even further. The goal of these appointments is to keep your spinal column and nervous system in optimal health. Stressors of daily life (sitting for long periods of time, working behind a computer, family, etc.) means that issues may arise again after some time. The maintenance appointments help to keep your spine in the right position and aligned, ensure that complaints don’t return, and keeps you functioning optimally.
