During your first consultation with Dr. Wallace, a detailed history of your problem and medical history will be obtained. Next, a thorough examination will be performed including orthopedic and neurological evaluation. Specialized functional testing such as postural analysis, gait analysis, joint & muscle testing. X-ray studies may also be utilized to formulate an accurate diagnosis . You will then be advised if your condition can be helped by chiropractic, or if it would be more appropriately managed by another health care provider.
Your Report Findings
After your First visit, you and the doctor will discuss your individualized written treatment plan:
What’s wrong?
How can we treat it?
How long will it take?
Various treatment options will be explained, as well as a recommended course of care. The doctor will also explain the “Three Types of Care” and will assist you in choosing which type of care is right for you:
Initial Intensive Phase of Care.
Most patients begin with Initial Intensive Care. Visits tend to be frequent (usually 2 – 3 times per week), so that you feel better as quickly as possible. In addition to your therapy and adjustments, the doctor may also recommend other therapies such as massage therapy and nutritional supplementation to help speed recovery and relieve your pain. Depending upon your age, condition, and lifestyle, repeated visits over several weeks may be needed to reduce your symptoms.
Rehabilitative Phase of Care.
With most of your obvious symptoms gone, the goal of Rehabilitative Care is long-term correction of your condition. Your visit frequency will be reduced, and there will be a greater emphasis on self-care. Even after you’re feeling better, joints, muscles, and other soft tissues can take weeks, or even months, to heal. Continued treatment during this phase will ensure proper healing & recovery and help to prevent a relapse.
Wellness Phase of Care.
After you’ve recovered, you may choose to schedule regular chiropractic “checkups” to help maintain the improvement you’ve made. Like periodic visits to the dentist or optometrist, wellness care can help catch little problems before they become major concerns. Wellness care is an option that many of our patients choose to feel better, improve athletic performance, prevent injury, and save time and money in the long run. Recommended visit frequency is usually every 4 – 8 weeks, but it can vary depending upon your individual needs and lifestyle.
The doctor may recommend acupuncture as a valuable part of your treatment plan. Dr. Wallace was trained at the National College of Chiropractic, and is certified to perform acupuncture under the Illinois Medical Practice Act.
