Once the nervous system begins to “calm” we look for stabilization. Throughout care there will be ups and downs. Our goal by the end of the stabilization phase is to reach a point where the nervous system is consistently communicating with very little wavering. The stabilization point is kind of like the foundation of a house, once we have a solid foundation we can start to build.

With a solid foundation, our goal now is to build the house. True correction comes with time and repetition. During the corrective phase your nervous system is being built up, and it starts to express itself more appropriately. By the end of the corrective phase the house is fully built and functions in an ideal manner. Again, this phase takes time and repetition. Consistent efforts on a regular basis provide the changes necessary to have an optimally functioning nervous system.

The wellness phase is simple. Now that the house is built we primarily focus on keeping the house in good shape. During the wellness phase your chiropractic visits are usually less frequent. You have a solid foundation and improved spinal structure which allows you to be feeling and functioning on a higher level. Just like a house might break a window or spring a leak, you may have a fall or accident or you may experience retracing. During these times you may need more corrective care. However, our goal is to keep everyone in the wellness phase as much as possible – feeling and functioning their best.
