Is chiropractic care all the same?
Not at all. The chiropractic care that a patient receives depends entirely on their condition. Obviously, someone who is just been in a car accident will need a different type of treatment as someone who feels a little soreness after working out. Watch this video as we explain the various types of chiropractic care that you can benefit from.
Often, when a patient comes to see a chiropractor, we have to take that patient through various stages. First and foremost, we want to relieve any immediate pain as quickly as possible. Once that is taken care of, we can move into a corrective stage where we continue chiropractic treatment to take care of a particular ailment or condition. Following the corrective care, we can then move to preventative care, where the main objective is optimum health. No matter what stage you may be in, chiropractic care can be beneficial and we hope that you will make regular adjustments a part of your healthy daily living.

Hello, Dr. Erin Terry here and I want to share with you the 3 different types of Chiropractic Careā¦
We have relief care, corrective care and wellness/preventative care. Relief care is designed to provide relief and help a patient get out of pain or some other symptom. For this type of care, we aim for results for our patients in a matter of days or weeks, not months. Once relief care is completed and the pain or ailment has gone away, you can begin with corrective care. This portion of care is design to correct the entire problem on a longer term basis and we highly recommend this as a follow up to the relief care. Just because the pain is gone, does not mean that the condition has been permanently fixed–hence the need for corrective care. Once a patient is feeling great and any issues have been corrected, we want to keep it that way through wellness and preventative care and regular visits on a monthly basis–because we believe that you deserve to feel great.
