Correction vs Relief
Relief Care Chiropractors and Corrective Care Chiropractors
Relief Care Chiropractors:
- Determine your length of care and amount of treatment by your symptoms, your insurance company, and/or how often he is allowed to see you.
- Provide a “quick fix”.
- Do not provide long term measurable correction.
Corrective Care Chiropractors:
- Concerned with actually correcting the condition in your spine and nervous system in order to not only eliminate symptoms, but to improve overall health.
- Focus on removing all interference to the nervous system caused by abnormal position of the spine and Subluxation(misalignments) through a very specific rehabilitative program of spinal adjustments, stretches and exercises.
- Focus on cause not effect.
