Cascades Chiropractic Treatment Plan
Learn about our customized treatment plans designed to address your specific health needs through a comprehensive three-phase chiropractic care approach.
Phase 1: Relief Care
In this initial phase, the main goal is to reduce pain and symptoms, often requiring frequent visits, to address underlying conditions not immediately apparent.
Phase 2: Corrective Care
This phase focuses on continued treatment to prevent the recurrence of symptoms, incorporating less frequent adjustments and introducing exercises for long-term healing.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Routine chiropractic care during this phase helps maintain optimal health, preventing physical problems from returning and supporting a lifestyle free from common aches and pains.

Phase 1: Relief Care
Why Relief Care?
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In this first phase of care, the main goal is to reduce your symptoms. Sometimes this will require daily visits, or two to three visits per week for a time.
Understanding Pain
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain, there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.
Checking Up On Health
For example, consider a cavity in your tooth. Does it hurt when it first develops or only after it has become serious? How about heart disease? Regardless of whether you are talking about cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stress, or problems with the spine, pain is usually the last thing to appear. When you begin chiropractic care, pain is also the first symptom to disappear, even though much of the underlying condition remains.
Phase 2: Corrective Care
Beyond Pain Relief
Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a person's care. If all that the chiropractor does is reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.
Treatment During Corrective Care
During the correction/restorative phase of your care, you will not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care. Depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing.
Expectations and Duration
Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Sustaining Health
Once your body has fully healed, routine chiropractic care can help ensure that your physical problems do not return and keep your body in optimal condition. Just like continuing an exercise program and eating well to sustain the benefits of exercise and proper diet, it is necessary to continue chiropractic care to ensure the health of your musculoskeletal system
Benefits of Regular Chiropractic Care
When you make routine chiropractic care a part of your lifestyle, you avoid many of the aches and pains that so many people suffer through. Your joints will last longer, and you will be able to engage in more of the activities you love.
