Most often, people look toward chiropractic treatment to alleviate pain. At Bodies in Balance, we work with many patients who have seen multiple physicians and tried many therapies that have not brought them pain relief. Our doctor specialize is being able to diagnose the source of the problem, and then recommend corrective treaments. Such treatment can include adjustments, manipulative therapies, assisted stretches, exercise therapy, massage, and most often includes patient involvement in correcting posture, changes in work and sleep positions, etc. We consider patients to be part of their treatment process, and with that, comes a a gain self awareness.
It is with that awareness, that very often people know before they feel pain, that something is 'off'. Once pain has been resolved or minimized, its important to follow up appropriately. The doctors do not dictate a program of coming often for long periods of time. However, they have found that when patients are taught to be aware of their balance, posture, and movement, they are able to know its time for a routine check.
This communication process between doctor and patients is most important in achieving the long term positive results without pain or surgery.
