WHAT TO EXPECT

What to Expect on Your First Visit



Your first comprehensive visit will include the following elements:

  • Completion of Patient Forms
  • Consultation
  • Examination
  • X-Ray Studies (if necessary)
  • Report of Findings
  • Treatment

When you visit Chiropractic Naturally, our primary goal is to understand your unique situation and provide immediate pain relief. Here's what you can expect during your first visit:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Dr. Archana Mehta will conduct a thorough assessment, including a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and any necessary diagnostic tests. This evaluation helps us identify the root cause of your pain and develop a tailored treatment plan.

  2. Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the findings from your evaluation, we will create a personalized treatment plan designed to address your specific needs. This plan may include chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises, lifestyle recommendations, and other modalities as needed.

  3. Immediate Pain Relief: Our first priority is to alleviate your pain. Depending on the severity of your condition, you may experience relief after your first adjustment. However, it is common to require multiple sessions to achieve lasting results.

    Frequency of Care
    Pain relief and healing are processes that take time, and the frequency of care can vary based on the severity of your condition. At Chiropractic Naturally, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 2-6 weeks. This schedule allows us to:

    1. Provide Consistent Care: Regular visits enable us to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan, ensuring you are on the path to recovery.

    2. Address Acute Pain: Frequent visits help manage acute pain more effectively, reducing its intensity and duration.

    3. Support Long-Term Healing: Consistent care promotes long-term healing by addressing underlying issues and preventing future problems

RELIEF CARE

Phase 1 - Relief Care



Pain Relief Care
Our first objective is to relieve you of any pain you are in when you arrive. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 2-6 weeks.

At Chiropractic Naturally, our foremost objective is to alleviate any pain you are experiencing when you arrive at our clinic. We understand that dealing with pain can be incredibly challenging, affecting your daily life and overall well-being. Our team, led by Dr. Archana Mehta, is dedicated to providing natural and effective chiropractic care to help you achieve relief and regain your quality of life.

The Role of Chiropractic Care in Pain Relief
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to pain relief and overall wellness. It focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Through manual adjustments and other therapeutic techniques, chiropractic care aims to restore proper alignment, improve function, and alleviate pain.

Conditions Treated with Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care can be effective for a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Back Pain: Whether due to injury, poor posture, or degenerative conditions, back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care.

  • Neck Pain: Neck pain can result from whiplash, poor ergonomics, or stress. Chiropractic adjustments can alleviate this discomfort.

  • Headaches and Migraines: Misalignments in the spine can contribute to headaches and migraines. Chiropractic care helps reduce their frequency and severity.

  • Joint Pain: Chiropractic adjustments can improve joint function and reduce pain in the shoulders, hips, knees, and other joints.

  • Sciatica: Sciatica pain radiates from the lower back down the legs. Chiropractic care can relieve this pain by addressing the underlying cause.

  • Sports Injuries: Athletes often benefit from chiropractic care to recover from injuries and enhance their performance.

RESTORATIVE CARE

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care



Corrective & Restorative Care
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 for 1-6 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Restorative Care
At Chiropractic Naturally, we understand that true healing goes beyond immediate pain relief. While alleviating pain is our first objective, we also focus on corrective and restorative care to address underlying issues and promote long-term health. During the corrective care phase, our goal is to allow muscles and other tissues to heal more completely, helping to prevent future injuries and enhance overall wellness..

The Importance of Corrective and Restorative Care
Corrective and restorative care is essential for achieving and maintaining optimal health. This phase of care goes beyond symptom relief, aiming to correct the root causes of musculoskeletal problems and restore proper function. By addressing these issues, we help our patients experience lasting relief and improved quality of life.

How Corrective and Restorative Care Works
During the corrective care phase, chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic techniques are used to:

  1. Improve Spinal Alignment: Misalignments in the spine can lead to pain, reduced mobility, and other health issues. Corrective care focuses on restoring proper alignment to support overall health.

  2. Strengthen Muscles and Tissues: Injuries and misalignments can weaken muscles and other soft tissues. Corrective care includes exercises and therapies to strengthen these areas, promoting stability and preventing future injuries.

  3. Enhance Nervous System Function: The spine houses the central nervous system, which controls all bodily functions. By ensuring proper spinal alignment and addressing any nerve interference, corrective care supports optimal nervous system function.

  4. Promote Healing: Corrective care facilitates the healing process by addressing the underlying causes of pain and dysfunction. This approach helps the body heal more completely and reduces the likelihood of re-injury.

WELLNESS CARE

Phase 3: Wellness Care



Wellness Care
At Chiropractic Naturally, we believe that maintaining your health is a lifelong journey. Once your body has fully healed from any injury or condition, it’s essential to continue with periodic chiropractic adjustments to ensure your body remains in optimal condition and to prevent any future flare-ups. Wellness care is about preserving and enhancing your health, allowing you to live a vibrant and active life. Regular visits to your chiropractor, typically ranging from 1 to 4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals, can make a significant difference in your overall well-being.

Preventing Flare-Ups
Even after you've recovered from an injury or condition, your body can still be susceptible to flare-ups. Everyday activities, poor posture, stress, and even minor accidents can cause misalignments in your spine. These misalignments, if left unchecked, can lead to pain and discomfort. Periodic chiropractic adjustments help to correct these misalignments, ensuring your spine remains in proper alignment and reducing the risk of flare-ups.

Enhancing Your Quality of Life
Regular chiropractic care isn't just about preventing pain; it's also about enhancing your overall quality of life. When your spine is properly aligned, your nervous system functions more efficiently. This can lead to improved energy levels, better sleep, enhanced immune function, and a general sense of well-being. Many of our patients report feeling more balanced and energized with regular chiropractic adjustments.

Supporting an Active Lifestyle
Whether you're an athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone who enjoys staying active, chiropractic care can help you maintain your physical health. Regular adjustments can improve your flexibility, strength, and overall performance. They can also help prevent injuries by ensuring your body is in optimal condition to handle the physical demands of your activities.
