What to Expect
Just like most medical treatment programs there is a carefully developed
process, that if followed, will yield optimal results. At Integrated
Wellness, we believe in not only helping our patients heal, but educating them
in the process. To help you better understand the treatment program you
will experience, we’ve outlined here just what you can expect as a patient of
Integrated Wellness.
Assessment Process
On your first visit you will receive a complete assessment including,
postural, spinal palpation, trigger point mapping, muscle strength testing,
orthopedic and neurologic testing as needed, lab test as needed, x-ray analysis
as needed. We will always discuss finances with you before we perform any
services. If we can't help you we will not waste your time or your money.
We will refer you to a provider suitable for your condition. So, when you
come into Integrated Wellness, you have nothing to lose. If we can't help
we will find someone who can.
6-Step Treatment Process
We will give you an in-depth
report of all the testing we do so you know the why behind what we prescribe for
your care. You will be introduced to our advanced six step process if we
determine that we can help. These six steps address things like, nutrition,
muscle spasms and tightening, exercises that warm up deep spinal muscles and
soft tissue, chiropractic, Pettibon™ body weighting system, and
exercise to strengthen the core muscle to create a long lasting treatment. These
six steps include the following areas of focus:
-
Hydration
& Nutrition – This step provides the body with cell cleansing and
rejuvenation, as well as a life source to the body for enhancing spinal and
overall health. It also supplies the body with the essential nutrients for
building tissue strength to reduce and/or prevent inflammation.
-
Muscles &
Overall Frame Support – This step relieves muscle spasms, stress, and
tension in the body and helps heal old injuries. It also increases ease of
movement for greater flexibility and strength.
-
Ligaments
& Joint Support – In this step, the patient experiences a softening of discs
and ligaments necessary to ease spinal structural change. This also pumps water
and nutrients into the spinal discs for spinal rejuvenation and relieves stress
and tension in the back and neck while adding strength and flexibility.
-
Spinal
Decompression & Adjustment – This step initiates healing of the body by
changing spinal structure and promotes full spine motion to accelerate spinal
structural change. In addition, it initiates energy to the body which increases
overall optimal health.
-
Post-Adjustment Rehabilitation – Step five is vital for strengthening the
body to hold the new spinal structure and enhance healing of spinal and overall
optimal health. Patients also experience increased balance and coordination.
- Spinal Molding
& Exercise
– This step is responsible for molding new spinal curves for greater strength
and relieves stress and tension on the spinal cord for better energy flow.
Spinal ligaments and discs are supported and strengthened to be able to hold
healthier spinal structure and the new curves.
