The Santin Chiropractic Approach: What Northwood Patients Can Expect
Chiropractic care at Santin Chiropractic is founded on the understanding that your body is a holistic system, with the nervous system playing a central role in overall health. When spinal misalignments (subluxations) interfere with proper nerve function, they can cause pain and dysfunction throughout the body. Our approach focuses on correcting these misalignments to restore proper nervous system function and allow your body to heal naturally.
For Northwood patients, our process typically includes:
Comprehensive Initial Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed health history, physical examination, and any necessary diagnostic procedures. This comprehensive assessment allows us to accurately identify the root cause of your symptoms and develop an effective treatment plan.
Personalized Treatment Planning
Based on your assessment results and personal health goals, we create a customized care plan designed to address your specific needs. Whether you’re seeking relief from acute pain or looking to improve your overall wellness, your treatment plan will be tailored to help you achieve optimal results.
Educational Doctor’s Report
Approximately two weeks after beginning care, you’ll receive a detailed doctor’s report that explains your condition, treatment plan, and expected outcomes. This educational session empowers you to take an active role in your healing process and make informed decisions about your health.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring
Throughout your care, we continuously monitor your progress and make adjustments to your treatment plan as needed. This dynamic approach ensures that your care remains aligned with your changing needs and goals, maximizing your results and satisfaction.
