When people come in, they are having pain, they are having symptoms, they are right down here, they feel bad. Now where they really want to be is up here. Where they feel great, they don't have any symptoms, and they can do the things they want to do without having any pain or problems.

How do we get from here to here?

One of the things we have to realize is that we have stress. I'm sure you have stress, I have stress. We have physical stress. We have gravity pushing down on us all day, every day. We have mental stress/emotional stress, we have chemical stress, All pushing us back down.

What we do in our office, we build a program, which is based on the idea that we want to get through all the phases, all the steps to fight the stress to get to where you want to be.

The first step is to get down the inflammation, the swelling. The next one is to get rid of the pain. Then we address the muscle soreness, muscle problems, and muscle imbalance.

If all you do is get to here and drop out of care, forget what you were doing, or get distracted, it's not long until you end up right back down here.

We want to make sure we make it through these steps. Next is to increase stamina, increase endurance, increase the ability to fight off things and resistance to new injuries.

The thing is, you are actually right here. We can make these giant steps on our own. What we do, is spell out a plan, which has adjustments, has therapies, which has different things so we can build rungs so we can get up to the next step.

We build some rungs as we go through this phase, we build some rungs as we go through this phase. As we get up in this area, people are seen in our office less frequently to be checked, taking care of the problems they've got, before they become big problems, helping the patient get up here where they really want to be.

So, if you want to go through a Louisville chiropractic program and understand what that program will be, this is it. We are going to work up to here. We are going to look at it every step of the way and make decisions to get you better faster, based on the research and based on what works.
