What to Expect

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 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. Dr. Volk will develop and discuss a custom treatment plan based on the severity of your specific problems.

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury.

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 or 2 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
