What to Expect

Laying the foundation for total health

In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse. If you tried to build your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. These concepts apply to your body as well, and chiropractic care addresses many common reasons why people experience pain and other health issues. If something is not right with your body's foundation, than that needs to be addressed before true health can be achieved. With chiropractic care, your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care . . .


Phase 1: Relief Care

If you are in pain when you come into our Herndon chiropractic office, our first objective is to help you reduce pain and start feeling better as soon as possible. Depending on the severity of the underlying condition which is causing your pain, it is typical for a patient to need chiropractic care or adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.

Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care

During the corrective phase of chiropractic care, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, which helps prevent further injury or pain. The goal of corrective or restorative chiropractic care is to help bring your body back to 100% functioning. It is typical to need chiropractic care or adjustments about 4-8 times per month for 6-24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.

Phase 3: Wellness Care

Once your body has fully healed and you are no longer experiencing back pain or other pain symptoms, it is important to come in for periodic chiropractic adjustments to avoid further problems in the future. Usually, this phase of chiropractic care only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor 1-4 times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.

Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "I first came to see Dr. Canzano about neck and back pain. Dr. Canzano came highly recommended from a wonderful friend of mine who was also a patient. I was in constant pain and had chronic headaches and migraines. I was also taking a lot of pain medication which was only masking my problems. Dr. Canzano's holistic approach to treatment has been a very positive and rewarding one for me. Her advice about diet, nutrition, and exercise has been invaluable to me.

    This is a very special practice -- more like good friends or family. It is a warm, friendly and peaceful place that nurtures the whole person -- mind, body and spirit. Shirl's healing hands and welcoming personality are a critical part of the practice. She is a gifted massage therapist with incredible skills and intuition.

    I have recommended many friends and family members and continue to do so. I honestly don't know what I would do without the care this practice provides."

  • "I came to see Dr. Canzano because of shoulder pain and headaches. I was experiencing decreased activity and concentration. After a few visits, my co-workers started commenting that I was smiling again! I feel better generally when I have regular adjustments."

  • "I was searching for an Activator chiropractor. I had chronic and debilitating neck pain from too many auto accidents. My experience at Canzano Chiropractic has been incredible. Sometimes the adjustments give immediate relief. The nurturing, healing environment, the whole health counseling, massage and alternative healthcare give me whole body healing.

    Canzano Chiropractic offers me a holistic alternative to healthcare, giving myself and my body the assistance to heal. They care about the well being of their patients."
