Words from Dr. Lorge

Our first objective is to give you relief from your pain. Our records show that 30% of patients experience relief within the first three visits and another 30% within the next ten visits. The remaining percentage requires a longer period of time due to the nature, severity, and duration of their conditions.

Some patients mistake temporary relief for permanent correction and discontinue their chiropractic care when they feel better. To get the maximum benefit from your care, you must allow complete correction of your spinal misalignments and permit the weakened muscles and ligaments to strengthen and adjust to their new positions. Unless you do, the original condition may recur, perhaps more severely than before.

Since you are seeking chiropractic care, it is apparent that you are looking for a permanent correction of the cause of your condition. This will permit you to return to normal health. Our suggested services are based upon our findings as a result of your examination, the interpretation of x-rays, and past experience with your type of spinal condition.

In the beginning, your treatment will be scheduled for multiple visits during the first few weeks. This is necessary during intensive care while your spine is learning to “hold” in the intended position. We will routinely check your progress and cut down on your visits as you respond to care. These re-evaluations are necessary to determine future care.
