What to Expect

Laying the foundation: what to expect

At Hermann Wellness Chiropractic our goal is to get rid of your pain.  First a history of your condition will be taken.  If you download our online forms that will make the process easier.  If you'd like you can fill reforms out in the office. After a complete history, orthopedic and neurologic tests will be performed to determine what the problem is.  After this we will decide if any further testing is needed or x-rays need to be taken.  After all this information is put together we will decide on a course of treatment.  Treatment will usually start on the first day.  We want to control your pain as quickly as possible.  So if you're having neck pain, back pain, numbness and tingling in your arms or legs, headaches or a pinched nerve call to make an appointment today.  Why live in pain?

Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.
