Chiropractic care is like building a house. Certain things have to happen in a particular order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put your walls up 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 issue. The same is true of your body. At Curis Functional Health: Kansas City – Riverside, you go through a particular plan of care in order for your body to repair itself correctly and fully.
If you are experiencing pain when you come into our office, our first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need a chiropractic treatment 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
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 6-24 months, 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 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete our patient forms that provide us with your health history and condition information.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Casey Baker to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options.
