Types of Care
Patch Up Care
Broken Chain
Fixing the underlying problem, as opposed to simply trying to patch it, adds strength to the entire chain.
Patch care is designed to address your current symptoms, or specific problem, but does not address any underlying structural problem. Many people will choose a patch option for their health, thinking that this is the cheapest or quickest way out. The unfortunate truth is that without addressing the underlying structural problem, the symptoms that you are currently experiencing will usually return. This means that the problem not only becomes long term, but often quite expensive.
At Atlantic Coast Family Chiropractic, we are committed to helping you reach the best state of health that is possible for you at this point in your life. For this reason, patch care is very rarely our best recommendation for you. While many people choose to receive chiropractic care only when they are in pain, unfortunately there is no scientific evidence to show that this approach does anything to slow, stop, or even prevent degeneration of the spine over time.
While we are committed to providing you with chiropractic care that meets your means and goals, understand that our recommendations are based on what we consider will provide you with the best health results both now and in the future.
We want to help you reach the best state of health that is possible for you at this point in your life. For this reason we will usually recommend that we provide care that addresses any underlying structural problems. Our recommendations are always based on what we consider will provide you with the best health results for the months, years, and decades to come.
Braces are often used to help create a healthy smile. Corrective chiropractic care helps to build a healthy spine.
Corrective chiropractic programs are designated to fix underlying structural problems, or repair it to as near normal as possible. Up until about five years ago most chiropractors didn’t have the knowledge required to correct a spine and most other health practitioners didn’t even recognize that is was possible.
Today, the scientific research to support the application of this type of care is astounding. Not only has science shown that abnormal spinal curves are capable of causing serious damage to the nervous system, but that, by using the right techniques, we can safely and predictably help restore a spine back towards its ideal position.
Corrective programs are tailored to each individual case. Much like using braces for your teeth, spinal correction can take anywhere from a few months to a few years. The frequency of chiropractic adjustments required can differ for each case. Dr. Heather will clearly outline the frequency and length of care that they expect you will require before you get started.
