Progress Visits

Periodically, brief re-evaluations will be given to check your progress and recovery. Discontinuing care once you feel better predisposes you to a relapse.

It is hard to predict how one will respond to Chiropractic care.  Everyone is unique.  We'll have a better idea after a 10 visits.

Only then can we make a more accurate prediction about what it will take to complete your recovery and what will be needed to help you stay well.

A Brief Examination

Dr. Michelle will conduct several of the tests that we did on your first visit.  This will give us a way to tell where you are in relation to where you were when we first met.  Obviously, this is essential for plotting a more accurate plan for future care.

Changing Recommendations

Hopefully, if your progress is verified by objective findings, we usually modify your visit schedule by reducing your visit frequency.

The Danger

About this time, many patients are feeling significantly better.  Many are often tempted to discontinue their care.  The amount of care you receive is always up to you...the patient.  If you do decide to discontinue care when you are starting to feel better, please remember that you are often predisposed to a relapse.  This happens because the supporting muscles and ligaments are fully healed.  This "healing of soft tissue" happens after symptoms disappear.

Please let us know how we can help you!!  We are here to support your decisions and be part of your health care team.

 Dr. Michelle Asks some important questions of interest to Tucson residents - Chiropractor Tucson Dr. Michelle Asks...

Can those with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, we consider the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways we can adjust the spine. The chiropractic method we select will be best suited to your age, size and unique situation.
Why does chiropractic work?
Chiropractic works because your nervous system, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and all the nerves of your body, controls and regulates every cell, tissue, organ and system of your body. A chiropractor locates and reduces areas of nervous system compromise (usually along the spine) so your capacity to heal is restored. Chiropractic works by helping your body work as it was designed.
