Phase 1: Relief Care

Thumbs Up to Relief - Relief Care

Many people visit ProChiropractic initially because they are in pain. In your first phase of care, the main goal of Dr. Wilhelm and the ProChiropractic team is to reduce your symptoms and offer you relief from the pain that brought you in. Each case is unique and sometimes this will require daily visits, or two to three visits per week for a time.

Most people are under the mistaken assumption that if they don’t feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them – that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.  This is most often the case with spinal pain.

For example, consider a cavity in your tooth. Does it hurt when it first develops or only after it has become serious? How about heart disease? Regardless of whether you are talking about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stress or problems with the spine, pain is usually the last thing to appear. When you begin chiropractic care, pain is also the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition remains.

Dr Wilhelm will listen to you as he determines the cause of your pain.  He will then work hard to offer you relief from your pain, naturally, by working with your body to remove interference and restore more normal structure and function.
