Relapse

It’s tempting to discontinue care as soon as you feel better. Especially if you think being healthy is about how you feel.

A New Idea

Since pain and other symptoms are the last thing to show up, they are the first to resolve. However, true healing begins after symptoms subside. Continuing to see us when you’re feeling great, is a new idea for most people. Especially insurance companies!

The Problem Returns

Without sufficient retraining and strengthening, many spinal problems return. It could be months or years later. Please don’t blame us, or chiropractic! Come back in and resume your care. After all, your records will be here, along with our genuine concern for you and your health.

A Healthy Habit

After a couple of these "stops and starts" many patients decide to come in on a regular basis to support a healthy life. Like brushing, flossing and other healthy habits.

Dr. Phillip  Asks some important questions of interest to Columbia residents - Chiropractor Columbia Dr. Phillip Asks...

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
What causes subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
