Acute conditions are conditions that are new. Typically less than 12 weeks old.  These types of conditions normally need frequent treatments, especially in the initial stages. During the beginning of these conditions, there is typically swelling and pain, with difficulty in the performing of normal everyday activiities. While the length of time acute conditions take to respond, varies depending on the severity of the complaint. The more thorough the treatment, the better the chance that the condition is resolved. This will help prevent the condition from turning into a chronic situation.

Chronic conditions are health situations that have been present for longer periods of time. In many cases an injury or illness that occurred many years ago is still present.   Typically 12 or more weeks old.  Sometimes it is simply the nature of the condition. Things that may complicate acute and chronic conditions is the pain level, presence of skeletal anomaly on film, severe radiating pain, patients age,occupation, activity level, habits and nutritional diet. Patients with chronic conditions  may need a longer term care plan to slow down the progression of those conditions.

In conjunction with chiropractic adjustments it is important to do spine related physical therapy to strengthen the muscles around the spine.  paraspinal muscles help to hold the spine in its normal position and give joints the stability they need to support every day activities. Spine related physical therapy at Health is Wealth consists of precor stretches, therapeutic stretches and strengthening excercises with exercise balls and theraband straps, neuromuscular re-education on wobble chairs and cervical exstention tractions, and chiropractic biophysics exercises to mirror image abnormal posture and spinal structure.

Laser therapy is a non-invasive technique to help reduce pain and inflammation. Laser therapy can be safely used as an adjunct or replacement for pharmaceutical drugs. This pain relief treatment is FDA cleared and enables patients to have an alternative to drugs and surgery.
Laser therapy treatments last between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the condition being treated. Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as laser light cannot penetrate through layers of clothing. You will feel a soothing warmth as the therapy is administered.
