“A treatment plan to achieve a state of freedom again.”
Typical Treatment Plan for Acute Complaints

Treatment Plan

If you have very acute complaints that significantly limit your quality of life – for example, acute back pain, severe headaches, a tense neck that you can no longer move – we will do everything we can to swiftly help you in that situation. This might mean starting with two treatments on consecutive days or three treatments in the first week, in order to quickly relieve your symptoms. Usually, however, our standard approach is to start with four treatments spread over the first two weeks.

In the course of the first treatments, the chiropractor will examine you very thoroughly. If we have even the slightest suspicion or indication that there is a more serious underlying condition, we will recommend the necessary diagnostic tools such as an MRI, X-ray, blood tests, or other medical procedures to get clarity on the cause of your symptoms.

“Jan has helped our daughter so much! She trains ballet five days a week, and her body had really become unbalanced due to the intensity of her classes. Jan is always so good at finding the underlying problem and then resolving the issues perfectly. We are so grateful for him!”

After the initial two-week treatment period

After completing the initial two-week treatment period, which consists of four treatments, you should experience a notable improvement in your condition. At this stage, your acute discomfort should have eased significantly. If you find this to be the case, it confirms that the treatment method we have been using is effective for you. Based on that, we can then together determine the next steps and chart the best course of action going forward.

As soon as the treatment goals are achieved, we are happy to discharge you. In the case of particularly persistent symptoms, it is likely that improvement will be gradual. In this case, we will begin to increase the treatment intervals. Depending on what is necessary for you, we will, for example, first treat you once a week, then once every two weeks and then once a month. In this manner, the body, which has lived with pain and restriction for so long, can slowly get used to functioning normally again. The physical memory of restriction subsides and is replaced by the feeling of being pain-free and functional. This phase is about continuity so that the body constantly receives the right stimuli to maintain the new state on its own.

 

 An example of a treatment plan

For many acute complaints, therefore, the following procedure has proven to be effective:

  • First 2 weeks: 2 treatments per week (four treatments in total).
  • Next 2 weeks: 1 treatment per week.
  • Next 2 weeks: 1 treatment every two weeks.
  • Next 2 months: 1 treatment per month.

Not every patient is the same. The above treatment rhythm is therefore to be understood only as a general guideline based on our experience. It indicates what is typically necessary in order for patients to experience a state of freedom again and to significantly ease their everyday pain.
