What To Expect

Laying the foundation for total health

In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. If you try to build your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.

These concepts apply to your body as well, and chiropractic care addresses many common reasons why people experience pain and other health issues. If something is not right with your body’s foundation, than that needs to be addressed before true health can be achieved. With chiropractic care, your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.

There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our Antigo chiropractic office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Learn more about Relief Care.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

After the immediate symptoms are reduced, patients move into the corrective phase of chiropractic care. During this phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps to stabilize the spine and prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. Learn more about Corrective Care.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has healed and you are no longer experiencing symptoms, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments. This phase of care will help to maintain the mobility that you’ve achieved and avoid further problems in the future. Learn more about Wellness Care.
