The 4 R's Review On your initial visit, Dr. Reier will take a detailed medical history and perform a comprehensive examination for the purpose of establishing a diagnosis. Diagnostic testing (X-Rays, MRI) may be ordered, although these procedures are often not necessary. If it is determined that you are a candidate for Chiropractic CARE, then treatment strategies will be discussed. If needed, Dr. Reier will help coordinate care with your medical doctor or other specialists to see that you receive the most complete care possible. Relieve Relieving pain is the first step in treatment. The use of manipulation and manual therapy treatment techniques have been shown to be among the most effective for the relief of spinal pain. Treatment may also include physical therapy modalities, such as electrical muscle stimulation, ultrasound, traction, exercise, heat and ice. This combined approach will alleviate nerve irritation and muscle spasm to help in the overall healing process. Reactivate Once we have relieved your pain, our next step is to help you get back to your regular activities of daily living. We will work closely with you to formulate a comprehensive, individiualized plan that will not only manage your condition but also prevent future problems. This plan may include exercises, nutritional advice, and lifestyle modifications. Resume The ultimate goal is for you to resume a healthy, active lifestyle, whether that is as a busy working mom or a weekend athlete. Dr. Reier’s objective is to help you develop a better understanding of your body and to improve your overall wellness. |
