Stabilization Phase Of Care
Congratulations, you are staying the course!
You are feeling much less pain now. The pathology within your body’s neural network is healing because your spine has reclaimed better motion and symmetry. Your spinal stability is improving. As your spinal motion and symmetry improve, muscles that provide this stability are reactivated. These muscles are powerful stabilizers because they attach centrally between one vertebra and the next. They are too short to spasm even though they contract every time you change position. When properly stabilized, your spine and pelvis operates like a flexible rod around which all of your body movements occur. You move your body around this stable center with much longer muscles that extend outward from the spine and pelvis into your limbs and torso.
When a region of your spine has a loss of normal motion, these stabilizing muscles no longer work properly. When they are “off-line”, muscles normally used to move the limbs and torso are called upon to provide some level of redundant stability. These muscles are much longer than the stabilizers and tend to spasm as they attempt to stabilize your spine. For the stabilizer muscles begin to work again, your spine has to be freely moving. Between treatments the pattern of spinal damage which originally caused your symptoms slowly recurs. Your may begin to feel mild pain again towards the end of the period between visits as your spine’s stability begins to weaken. As chiropractic care restores normal spinal motion, the stabilizers are turned back on and the muscles that were in spasm are able to relax again. Each time I adjust you the stabilizers continue to strengthen. As spinal symmetry and stability improves through my care as well as the at home exercises and proper posture disciplines I provide you with, your symptoms resolve for longer periods between each visit.
As I monitor the progressive reduction of pain and muscle spasm between visits I will reduce the frequency of your care to trial levels of once a week and less as we proceed. The ultimate goal is to achieve the greatest level of spinal stability which reduces the recurrence of pain and improves your ability to perform normal activities with fewer limitations. The severity of your original condition is a determining factor with regards to the level of care you will need and the degree of spinal health and normal function which you are able to reclaim.
I honor you for the effort you are making to heal your “self” from within.
