Generally, when a patient is accepted for care, initial treatment is scheduled for two weeks (obviously case-dependant). At that point we re-evaluate and determine the success or failure of treatment. If the patient is not progressing as well as expected, we either switch treatment approaches and treat for another two weeks, or refer the patient for further diagnostic tests or to another physician for evaluation.

If the patient has progress after two weeks, we schedule them for another two weeks, then re-evaluate again. Eventually the patient either recovers and is released/discharged from care, or withdrawn from care to evaluate the stability of their residual condition.

Most patients enter our office, are treated and released. If you are struggling with a difficult case, or you feel that soft tissue therapy or spinal manipulation would be a favored treatment option for your patient, you may want to consider a referral to the Advanced Chiropractic Specialists office.
