What to Expect At our Office in Waynesburg, PA

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 . . .

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. Treatment will typically consist of Chiropractic adjustments, massage, modalities such as muscle stimulation and/or ultrasound, and exercises when needed. We also have traction and Disc Decompression available. We use the Impulse IQ instrument for our adjustments. The Impulse IQ gives fantastic results with out the "old fashion" twisting and popping.

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1 per month, based on your lifestyle and goals. This would be considered maintenance care which usually is not covered by insurance companies.
