Laying the foundation

Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. 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 office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Wellness Care

Once your nervous system is functioning as best as it can, it is important to maintain that level of functioning. Based on the results of your tests, the doctors at Gulledge Chiropractic and Acupuncture will figure out exactly the right frequency for you. Most of our patients choose to get their nervous systems and acupuncture system balanced once or twice per month (depending on their scans). This helps to ensure that you are functioning as close to 100% as you can.
