YOUR REGULAR SESSIONS

So, you've already had your first visit and initial consultation with a chiropractor. What can you expect from your ongoing chiropractic treatment sessions?​

​

Your regular sessions at Rin Spine Center generally follow these steps:

​

1. Check on your progress​​​​

 

Our approach at Rin Spine Center involves you and your doctor sharing an ongoing conversation about your short-term and longer-term health.

​

This conversation includes condition-specific topics (such as the results of your imaging tests, your progress with pain reduction and shaping of the spine), as well as elements related to your overall health (such as exercise and diet).

​

2. Receive chiropractic treatment

​

Chiropractic treatment is aided by the patient being in a relaxed state, both physically and mentally.

​

As such, one of the initial stages of treatment involves your chiropractor helping you stretch and relax the muscles and joints related to your condition. During this period, it can help if the patient tries to relax by concentrating on breathing deeply.

​

Next, the doctor performs a series of chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic adjustments involve the chiropractor applying force to a specific spinal joint, which helps restore the structural integrity of the spine and provide relief from pain.

 

At Rin Spine Center, we also supplement chiropractic treatment with techniques from physiotherapy, which help loosen and relax tight muscles, stimulate the trigger points and influence blood circulation.

 

This may include:

​

• trigger point therapy

• use of a relaxant device

• dry needling

• electrotherapy

• ice pack therapy.

​

4. Receive specific physical exercises to do at home

​

Improving the long-term condition or your spine requires effort from the patient to correct posture and build muscle strength in specific areas. Our Spinal Rehabilitation program includes a significant physical exercise component that'll require commitment to bring about results.
