What to Expect

You will immediately feel at home the moment you walk in the door.

Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly.  When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.  The same is true for your body.  Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully.  There are three general phases of chiropractic care…

Phase 1:  Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come to our office, the first objective is to help you feel better.  Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care daily for 1 to 3 weeks until your pain is under control.

Phase 2:  Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury.  It is typical to need care 3 times per week until your body is stable.  The length of time depends on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3:  Wellness Care

Once your body has healed, it is important to come in for wellness adjustments to avoid problems in the future.

Dr. Abercrombie Asks some important questions of interest to Fremont residents - Chiropractor Fremont Dr. Abercrombie 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 is the significance of "growing pains?"
Chiropractors know that aches or pains at any age mean something's not right. In fact, many children go through stages of growth without aches or pains. So while "growing pains" may be common, they're not normal. That's why our Fremont chiropractic practice sees lots of children. A chiropractic checkup for your child can often help detect and correct problems that are more difficult to correct in Fremont adults.
