Three Phases of Care in Palatine IL

There are three general phases of chiropractic care (keep in mind, every patient is different, so Dr. Green will work together with you to come up with the best plan of care that meets your needs).

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals. Some patients only come every 2-3 months. Some every 6 months. Depending on their needs and recommendation of Dr. Green.
