There are three types or stages of chiropractic care. How long you decide to benefit from chiropractic care is always up to you.

Most patients start with Initial Intensive Care. In the beginning, visits may be frequent. The first thing new paients want is to feel better. So, in the beginning, visits are usually frequent. Your chiropractic adjustments may be combined with other procedures to help relieve your symptoms. Depending upon your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over weeks or months may be needed to reduce your symptoms.

With your ache or pain reduced, the goal of Rehabilitative Care is for more complete healing to occur. Underlying muscle and soft tissue damage can remain, even after you feel better. At this stage, visit frequency is often reduced.

You may be urged to supplement your care with excercises, dietary changes, or other self-care procedures. Without complete healing, discontinuing care now can set the stage for relapse.

After the recovery of your original problem, regular chiropractic "checkups" can help preserve your progress. Periodic visits can help catch little problems before they become major concerns. Wellness-minded adults and their childrean choose Maintenance Care to look and feel their best. Like other preventative measures, a chiropractic lifestyle can save time and money by helping you stay well.

Chiropractic is a healing discipline firmly grounded in science. Although its main focus is the relationship between the skeleton (particularly the spine) and the nervous system that runs through it, chiropractic is concerned with the care of the entire body. Chiropractors use various diagnostic methods, including x-rays, to discover the state of your health, paying particular attention to your spine and bone structure. Spinal manipulation and other manual adjustments are their primary methods of helping your body heal itself.

The word chiropractic comes from a combination of the Greek words "chiro" and "praktikis", meaning "done by hand". "Treatment by hand" was an accepted form of therapy in ancient Greece. Hippocrates, who is regarded as the founder of medical inquiry, made the first recorded references to spinal manipulation. 1995 marked the 100th anniversary of the evolution of modern chiropractic. In recognition of this milestone, centennial celebrations were held across Canada and throughout the world. Canada Post issued a commemorative stamp in recognition of the centennial of the profession, and to honour its Canadian Found, Dr. Daniel David Palmer.
