STEP 1: Our first objective is to help reduce pain so that you are feeling better as soon as possible.

Each treatment plan is designed specific to the patients needs.

Often patients will report significant improvement within the first 2-3 treatments.

STEP 2: Once the muscles and tissues heal more completely, it is time to begin mobility/stability rehabilitation. Dr. Galbraith utilizes in office and at home exercises for every patient. Functional rehabilitation is a high priority at ProActive. Dr. Galbraith will recommend a treatment plan for each patient that works best for them. This will help keep your spine stable and help maintain proper function.

STEP 3: Once your body is fully healed, you can still receive chiropractic care if you choose. This will help maintain proper joint function and help avoid further problems.

Also during this time, Dr. Galbraith will recommend weekly functional exercises to help strengthen and maintain the spine to prevent future and reoccurring injuries.
