Your First Visit: What to Expect

Your Treatment Journey: Building a Foundation for Health

Dr. Orlandini believes in educating patients about their care journey. Like building a house, your body needs the right foundation before true healing can occur. We follow a proven three-phase approach that addresses not just your symptoms, but the underlying causes of your health concerns.

Phase 1: Relief Care - Getting You Out of Pain

If you're in pain, our first priority is helping you feel better as quickly as possible. During this initial phase, we focus on reducing inflammation, improving mobility, and decreasing your pain levels.

What to expect:

• More frequent visits initially (typically 2-3 times per week)
• Duration varies based on your condition (usually 4-12 weeks)
• Quick pain reduction as your body begins responding to care
• Home care instructions to speed your recovery

Many patients experience significant relief within the first few visits, though everyone heals at their own pace.

Phase 2: Corrective Care - Fixing the Root Cause

Once your pain improves, it's tempting to think you're fully healed. However, this is when the real work begins. During corrective care, we address the underlying structural issues that caused your problem in the first place.

This phase focuses on:

• Restoring proper spinal alignment and function
• Strengthening supporting muscles and tissues
• Improving posture and body mechanics
• Preventing future injuries and flare-ups

Visit frequency decreases as you progress (typically 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your condition's severity and your health goals).

Phase 3: Wellness Care - Maintaining Your Progress

Once your body has healed and you're functioning at your best, wellness care helps you stay that way. Think of it like regular dental cleanings or oil changes for your car - preventive maintenance that keeps problems from developing.

Benefits of wellness care:

• Maintain the progress you've achieved
• Catch small problems before they become big ones
• Support your active lifestyle
• Optimize your overall health and performance

Most wellness patients visit 1-4 times per month based on their lifestyle and goals. Many of our long-term patients find this prevents the aches, pains, and injuries that used to sideline them.

Your Role in the Healing Process

At Orlandini Family Chiropractic, we believe you should be an active participant in your health journey. Dr. Orlandini's mission includes encouraging patients to adopt positive lifestyle changes and proper body mechanics for lasting results.

How you can maximize your results:

• Follow through with prescribed exercises and stretches
• Make recommended ergonomic and lifestyle adjustments
• Keep your scheduled appointments for optimal progress
• Communicate openly about your progress and concerns
• Apply what you learn about body mechanics in daily life
