Q.
|
How long will my treatment program be?
|
A.
|
After a thorough evaluation, we will design a care plan for you. You will be given choices for relief care as well as corrective care. Be assured that we want to help you, whatever the choice you make. Your treatment is administered over a reasonable time frame and your response is continually evaluated. Additional treatments may be necessary or a reduced frequency may be recommended as your therapy progresses. |

Q.
|
Why the need for exercises and other therapies?
|
A.
|
Gohlke Chiropractic also needs to treat the supporting spinal muscles. A complete program targeting the function of the stabilization muscles is a vital part of therapy. Muscle stimulation, Ultrasound, and laser therapy can offer an additional benefit for inflammation and spasm reduction. Our plan is not only to help heal the disc but to enhance muscle control and support of the lower back. A gradual breakdown of the foundational support of your back places undue stresses on the discs and leads to pain and the loss of function. Exercise and adjunctive therapies will assist in rehabilitating these structures. |

Q.
|
Will my pain go away for good?
|
A.
|
Although it is difficult to predict the future, many patients find long-term relief or effective management of their pain when they complete the entire program of treatments. Regular home exercise and periodic visits to our clinic will help in maintaining your spinal health and reduce the probability of reoccurrence. As with any comprehensive rehabilitation program, your continued home care exercises and discretion in some daily activities are key to long-term relief. |
