More than 80% of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Many of these cases are recurring or chronic, which can suggest the management of this “non-complicated back pain” is lacking key elements of care. Clarksville Chiropractic Center has filled the gap by walking the patient through 3 phases of care; Acute care, Active care, and Supportive care.
Acute care, the first phase, is when a person comes in with pain or dysfunction which may be affecting their quality of life. The goal with this phase of care is to get the patient out of pain, back to work, and enjoying their everyday life. If this phase isn’t thoroughly treated in the first few weeks, the injury has a greater chance of turning into a chronic issue. Through Chiropractic care, massage therapy, Active Release Technique, and other modalities, the patient often finds relief of their symptoms in a few weeks.
Once you and the doctor are satisfied that you have reached your goals regarding your symptoms, it is then time to engage Active care, the second phase. This is when we teach you how to need us less! After correction of any physical malfunction, we must determine whether a lack of mobility or weakness has contributed to the original problem, or if the deconditioning weakness is a product of favoring a body part due to pain or discomfort. Simply put, moving incorrectly will wear down certain body parts (knee, hip, lower lumbar spine discs) at an accelerated rate. Our program Kinetic Results is designed to find out how and where you move improperly and then teach you how to strengthen and use your body correctly. It is then up to the patient to actively follow the suggested stretches and exercise protocols to correct these faulty movements. Doing so can keep an “old” problem from returning as well as prevent a minor ache from becoming a nagging injury.
Finally, Supportive programs are important to help a person stay healthy and live to their greatest vitality. One study showed that people who regularly see a chiropractor have 60% less hospital visits, 62% less outpatient surgeries, and 85% less pharmaceutical costs. Teaching our clients how their body responds to the information they give it includes regular spinal checkups, motion, nutrition, rest and recovery, guidance and much more!
With these programs in place, Clarksville Chiropractic is able to not only get their patients out of pain, but also teach them how to stay out of pain and enjoy their life to the fullest. It is important to take control of your health. The Doctors and staff at Clarksville Chiropractic have the ability and the confidence to help you reach your health and fitness goals in all areas.
