The 3 Phases of Chiropractic Care

If you’re visiting a chiropractor for the first time, you might be wondering what the process looks like beyond just a quick adjustment. At Tutt Street Family Chiropractic in Kelowna, we follow a proven three-phase approach to care that helps patients not only feel better but also move better and stay healthy long-term.

Phase 1: Pain Relief

Most people come to us because they’re in pain—whether it’s back pain, neck pain, headaches, or a sports injury. In this first phase, our goal is simple: help you feel better quickly.

We use:

Chiropractic adjustments to restore alignment and take pressure off the nerves
Laser therapy to reduce inflammation and speed healing
Shockwave therapy to relax muscles and repair injured tissues

This phase is often the most active for us as your care team. Patients usually notice relief quickly, but that’s just the beginning.

Phase 2: Restored Posture & Function

Once your pain has decreased, we shift focus to correction and recovery. Pain often comes from deeper problems such as poor posture, joint misalignments, or restricted mobility.

In this phase, you’ll be guided through:

Stretches that restore flexibility
Strengthening exercises that stabilize your joints
Postural coaching to retrain how your body moves every day

The goal is to help your body work the way it was designed to—so the pain doesn’t simply return.

Phase 3: Maintain & Prevent

The final stage is about protecting your progress. Ongoing wellness care helps keep your spine healthy, reduces the risk of future flare-ups, and supports a more active lifestyle.

We’ll also talk about lifestyle habits such as:

Nutrition for reducing inflammation and boosting energy
Exercise routines that keep you strong and mobile
Ergonomic tips for work and home

This phase isn’t about coming in all the time—it’s about building a healthy foundation so you can enjoy life without being limited by pain.

Why Patients Love This Approach

By moving through these three phases, you’re not just getting temporary relief—you’re gaining a plan for long-term health and mobility. Many of our patients in Kelowna have told us they not only feel better but are also more confident in their posture, more active, and less worried about injuries coming back.

Take the Next Step Toward Relief

Don’t let pain hold you back from the activities you love. Whether you’re dealing with recent pain or a chronic issue, we’ll help guide you through every step—from relief to prevention.
