Level 1: Relief Care

Thumbs Up to Relief

Simply put, one of the top reasons we get to meet new people is because of pain. This level of care has one purpose – help you feel better fast. Some patients will require daily visits, but most will be required to visit two to three times per week.

It is important to remember that pain is not the entire story however. Most people are under the false assumption that if they don’t feel any pain then there is nothing wrong with them – that they are healthy. This is not the case. Pain is an indicator of poor health. In fact, by the time pain and other symptoms appear, the injury or illness may have become quite advanced – thus, the symptoms.

It is just like your teeth. A cavity goes unnoticed for months or years by the patient, but after a thorough check up, your dentist can detect and correct the problem long before you feel the pain. Think about heart disease for another instance. The first symptom for one third of people suffering from heart disease is sudden cardiac death. Your spine is much the same; the pain is noticed in the final level. However, when you begin chiropractic care, pain is often the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition may remain.
