Mixed Chiropractic utilizes a number of treatments, physical therapies, massage therapies, AND most importantly does not limit adjustments to the neck and/or spine. The results of mixed chiropractic; fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis, frozen shoulder and much more can all be lessened through "location-specific" adjustments in addition to the more well-known chiropractic adjustments to the neck and/or lower back.
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments once a week for 4-8 weeks. You will not be expected to set up a "treatment plan" in advance / be required to have an unrealistic number of appointments per week
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 2 times per month, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has healed, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid further problems in the future. It is EASIER to maintain health than to start back at square one under relief care! Usually, this phase of chiropractic care only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor once per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
"I was in a motor vehicle collision last year which really scared me. After 40 stitches in the head, a hospital stay, some drugs and continuous neck pain, I finally decided to see a Chiropractor. I have NEVER looked back. Not only did Dr. Bello work with my lawyer to submit documentation of my injuries for compensation, I have never received the type of one-on-one care I have from another healthcare professional. I now continue to see Dr. Bello twice a month for maintenance and slowly but surely I am getting back on my feet."
