The three phases of chiropractic care are phase one, phase two, and phase three. Phase one focuses on restoring motion and decreasing pain rapidly. The chiropractor will see the patient 2-3 visits per week. Phase two is stabilization. As the spine gets stronger the chiropractor continues adjusting as the muscles and ligaments around the spine become stronger. Visit frequency is around 1-2 visits per week. Phase three is the maintenance phase. Patients come in periodically to maintain their spinal health. Visit frequency is between once a week to once a month.
