Learn How A SE Portland Chiropractic Office Helps Injured Workers

By Loraine Roane


Folks injured while working are often stressed over the experience. When a patient first visits a chiropractic care provider they will need to complete paperwork that is directly related to their work injury. The individual will also provide a complete medical history, physical exam, and possibly lab work. The SE Portland chiropractor will be able to relieve your pain and restore you to proper health.

The first visit to the practitioner will give you a chance o familiarize yourself with the staff and doctor. You will have a good idea of what to expect when you return for appointments. It is typical for the new patient forms to be found on the practitioner website so they can be filled out ahead of time.

After the provider identifies the cause of your pain, an individualized therapy plan will be designed. Each plan consists of 3 different stages designed to restore good health and proper function. The human body is naturally able to self-heal. With the help of the practitioner, therapies are applied that encourage self-healing.

The first phase in chiropractic care is considered relief care. Often, the patient is in pain at their initial appointment. The practitioner's immediate focus is on relieving your discomfort. The number of visits for this phase will depend on the seriousness of your injury.

In the second phase of therapy, the professional focuses on correcting and restoring. During the correction stage, surrounding muscles and tissue are able to completely heal. This stage will also help to avert additional injuries. This stage can take 4 to 8 appointments each month over a period of 6 to 24 months.

The third and final phase is referred to as the wellness stage. By this stage, the body is completely healed and there is a need for only periodic adjustments to the spine. These stage three visits are quick and typically only 1 to 4 visits a month are needed.
