Phases of Care

Explore the various phases of care outlined in our comprehensive approach to health and wellness, guiding you through each stage of treatment for optimal results and long-term success at Elevate Medical.

Laying the Foundation for Total Health

At Elevate Medical, we understand that effective health and physical medicine care goes beyond immediate relief; it involves a comprehensive approach to facilitate true healing and long-term wellness. Our holistic philosophy is rooted in understanding the natural phases of care: movement, healing, and time. By addressing these phases meticulously, we ensure that our patients receive the most effective treatment and achieve sustainable health improvements.

Phase 1 : Movement

Phase 2 : Healing

Phase 3 : Time

Phase 1:

Movement

The first phase focuses on restoring proper movement. Whether dealing with an injury, chronic pain, or a physical condition, ensuring that the affected area can move correctly is crucial. Proper movement decreases inflammation and prevents further aggravation of the issue. This principle is not only fundamental in chiropractic care but also in physical therapy, sports medicine, and other health disciplines.

Restoring movement involves a variety of techniques tailored to the individual needs of our patients. These can include:

Manual therapy: Hands-on techniques to improve mobility and relieve tension.
Exercise therapy: Customized exercise plans to strengthen and stabilize the affected area.
Modalities: Use of tools like ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat/cold therapy to reduce pain and improve movement.

Proper movement sets the stage for the body to heal effectively by reducing strain and inflammation.

Phase 2:

Healing

With movement restored and inflammation minimized, the body can enter the healing phase. Healing is a complex process that requires a supportive environment, adequate nutrition, and proper care strategies. During this phase, our focus is on:

Nutritional support: Ensuring the body has the necessary nutrients to repair tissues.
Therapeutic interventions: Continued use of therapies to support tissue repair and regeneration.
Patient education: Teaching patients about self-care strategies to promote healing at home.

Healing is a gradual process that involves cellular repair and regeneration. Without inflammation and constant aggravation, tissues can rebuild and restore their integrity.

Phase 3:

Time

The final phase recognizes that true healing takes time. While initial pain relief and functional improvement can often be seen relatively quickly, full tissue healing and return to pre-injury status can take at least 90 days. During this phase, consistency and patience are key. Our approach includes:

Regular follow-ups: Monitoring progress and adjusting treatment plans as needed.
Long-term care plans: Developing strategies for maintaining health and preventing re-injury.
Encouraging lifestyle changes: Promoting habits that support ongoing health, such as regular exercise, proper ergonomics, and balanced nutrition.

Time is an essential component of the healing process. By allowing sufficient time for the body to heal, we help our patients achieve lasting improvements and prevent future issues.
