Your spine needs to be corrected, monitored as your body strengthens and your
correction stabilizes and then examined periodically to complete your recovery and to prevent your spine from breaking down again.
Initially you will experience some relief during your intensive phase of care. As you recover you will notice a number of issues you had not related to your spinal misalignment will begin to improve or completely resolve. As you complete your recovery you will experience a renewed sense of health and well-being.
Correction of your Spinal Misalignment
Stabilize & Strengthen your correction with follow up visits to make sure your correction is stable
Awareness – learning to know when your spine is misaligned again
Prevention – learning to keep your spine from misaligning again
Relief – You can expect some relief within your initial intensive phase of care
Recovery – requires one month for each year your spine has been misaligned
Self-Managing – determining your own need for a spinal correction
Lifetime Wellness – Keeping your spine and nervous system free of the effects of a spinal misalignment
INITIAL INTENSIVE CARE
Feeling better from having your spinal misalignment Corrected
At Revive Upper Cervical Chiropractic we want to relieve your pain and symptoms as quickly as possible and to begin to put an end to your suffering
For your spinal misalignment to be corrected and stabilized you will be coming to the office more often in the first three months.
STRENGTHEN & STABILIZE
Improving and Getting Well
The ligaments and tendons will be getting stronger during this time and your corrections will become more stable and last longer. As your spine recovers it will misalign less frequently.
Strengthening & Stabilizing requires six to eight months to make sure your corrections begin to “hold” or stabilize for weeks or months. The number of visits you will make to the office will depend entirely on how well your corrections hold or stabilize.
MAXIMUM RECOVERY
As good as you can be
The longer your spine was misaligned, the longer it takes for you to complete your recovery. Recovery takes one month for each year your spine has been misaligned.
Discontinue your care and you will return to your original condition, which will continue to get worse over time. Continue care and you will continue to experience even more life and better health.
WELLNESS CARE
Living Fully and Staying Well
You will have completed your recovery and you will be able to live fully without the limitation of a spinal misalignment and keep you from spinal decay and getting back to the way you were. Once your spine was originally injured and misaligned, a
weakness now remains for your spine to misalign again for as long as you live.
Regular spinal examinations are the best thing you can do to make sure you don’t return to the way you were when you began your spinal care and that you stay well.
How well your spine corrects initially and how well it stays corrected will be determined by whether your spinal misalignment is:
Small and Simple
Big and Simple
Small and Complex
Big and Complex
Very Complicated
There are five categories of corrections (approximately 80% will be in the first two categories):
Immediate spinal correction, likely to stay in place for weeks at a time initially.
Significant correction initially, stable for days or weeks, but will need to be corrected several times before being stable for weeks or months at a time.
Reducible initially, unstable, but eventually correctable and able to stabilize for weeks and months (requires more initial intensive care).
Reducible initially, but will not correct completely. Goal to achieve relative stability and relief, but not full correction.
Neither reducible nor correctable and will need to be referred for other doctors or services
Sleep
Mental focus/sharpness
Balance
Energy Levels
Digestion
Overall sense of well-being
As you recover, it will be easier to be aware of when your spine is in its normal alignment and when it is not. You may be able to know immediately or within a few hours when your spine misaligns again. When you know your spine misaligns again, or if you are suspicious about your alignment– call us and come in before your next scheduled appointment.
As you become aware of when your spine is aligned and when it is misaligned, you will be able to become aware of when it is at risk to misalign again. With this awareness you may be able to prevent your spine from being misaligned again.
Rest and managing stress will help you keep your spine aligned:
Adequate rest is critical. Mental and muscle fatigue is a major cause of the spine breaking down and misaligning again.
Stress causes muscle spasms and inflammation in the body, which is a frequent reason for the spine to become locked down in a misaligned position.
Greater stability is also achieved with greater levels of wellness and fitness.
Exercise – Finding the time on a daily basis to increase your heart rate and move your joints is a fundamental necessity for a healthy spine and body.
Sound Nutrition – Quality nutrition helps to reduce inflammation and protect the integrity of your joints.
1. People need help. There are far too many people suffering with chronic health conditions, without any alternative solutions to their problems. This leads to a dependency on medications, risky surgical options, and an overall lack in their quality of life.
2. Lack of awareness. Most people do not know that a misaligned spine can be the root cause of their health problems. This lack of awareness keeps people in a disease-management model of health care, oftentimes doctoring their conditions for the rest of their lives.
3. Great patients get great results. If you value the Revive UCC standards of care, chances are your friends, family, acquaintances will as well. By referring others for care you are helping similar-minded patients find the same types of solutions that you have found in upper cervical care.
