Phases of Chiropractic Care in Coconut Creek

During your first visit our Coconut Creek chiropractor will go through a complete history, evaluation and examination of your condition(s). It is through these procedures we begin our first phase of care. In this first phase of care Dr. Barnard’s goal is to eliminate pain, decrease muscle spasms and inflammation. We do this through a number of different scientific methods incorporating chiropractic adjustments, muscle/trigger point therapy, nutrition and other therapies, all of which will be added into a custom treatment plan for you. We also set up long and short-term goals to get you back to the life you want to live.

Phase 2 of care begins the road to trying to restore proper function to both your musculoskeletal system and nervous system. Due to chronic pain, lifestyle, and repetitive stress, our bodies adapt over time. Our brain develops neurological patterns that become hard wired into our body. Muscles become shorter or longer and they can become weak or “turned off”. Our job is to determine the cause of the adaptation and re-train your body. By retraining your body we will be able to restore function and improve performance. Rehabilitative exercise and stretching will be done to assist in your progress.

This is the last phase of care on your journey. At this time, you will be pain free and have restored function. Due to this progression you will be switched from active care to wellness care. A maintenance care plan will allow you to continue a healthy lifestyle. Those who undergo regular chiropractic care experience less aches and pains, decreased in flair ups and a lifestyle free from chronic pain. At this point, you should be living a happy, active and healthy lifestyle.
