Phases & Types of Care
Personalized Chiropractic Care for Every Phase of Your Health Journey
At West Chiropractic & Neuropathy Center in Tampa Bay, Florida, we believe in treating the root cause of your pain, not just masking the symptoms. Our comprehensive chiropractic care is designed to help you live your best life, free from pain and discomfort. With our specialized approach, we focus on personalized care tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient, from children to seniors. Led by Dr. Lea, our clinic is committed to providing the highest quality care, emphasizing the importance of a holistic approach to health and wellness.
Phases of Chiropractic Care
Understanding the phases of chiropractic care is essential to appreciate the full spectrum of benefits that this natural, non-invasive approach offers. Our care is divided into three key phases:
Relief Care
Relief care is the first phase of chiropractic treatment, focusing on alleviating immediate pain and discomfort. This phase is crucial for patients suffering from acute conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, or sciatica. Relief care typically involves frequent visits to our clinic, as we work to bring your body to a state of comfort and stability.
Corrective Care
Once the initial pain is under control, the next phase is corrective care. This phase aims to address the underlying issues that caused your discomfort in the first place. Corrective care focuses on restoring proper alignment, improving posture, and strengthening the muscles and ligaments that support your spine. This phase often requires a longer-term commitment, as it involves ongoing adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle modifications.
Wellness Care
The final phase of chiropractic care is wellness care. This phase is about maintaining the progress you've made during the relief and corrective phases and optimizing your overall health. Wellness care involves regular chiropractic adjustments, nutritional guidance, and advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. The goal is to keep your body functioning at its best, preventing the recurrence of pain and enhancing your quality of life.
Spinal Adjustments
Spinal adjustments are the foundation of chiropractic care and are used to restore proper alignment of the vertebrae in your spine. Misalignments, or subluxations, can cause pressure on the nerves, leading to pain, decreased mobility, and other health issues. Through gentle and precise techniques, the vertebrae are realigned to relieve pressure on the nervous system and promote overall body function. Regular spinal adjustments can help reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support the healing process for many chronic conditions.
Neuropathy Care
Neuropathy care is one of our specialized services, addressing conditions that affect the peripheral nerves, such as diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage caused by injury. Patients experiencing symptoms like numbness, tingling, and chronic pain in their extremities benefit from our comprehensive neuropathy care. We focus on enhancing nerve function through targeted chiropractic adjustments, reducing discomfort, and improving overall quality of life. Neuropathy care may involve additional therapeutic techniques that complement chiropractic adjustments to support nerve health.
Postural Correction
Postural correction is another essential aspect of the care we provide. Poor posture can lead to various health problems, including back pain, neck pain, and tension headaches. Over time, postural issues can cause long-term damage if not addressed. Our postural correction program works to identify misalignments and imbalances in your body’s posture. Our team will create a personalized plan, including chiropractic adjustments, corrective exercises, and lifestyle modifications, to help improve your posture and reduce the strain on your body. The goal is to help you achieve better balance, alignment, and overall body function.
Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care isn’t just for adults — children can benefit from it too. Pediatric chiropractic care is a gentle, non-invasive way to address various issues in growing bodies, including colic, ear infections, and spinal misalignments. Our approach to pediatric care is carefully adapted to suit the needs of young patients, helping them stay healthy and active as they grow. Regular chiropractic check-ups can support proper development and help prevent long-term issues in children.
