FCCSP places a large emphasis of its treatment protocols in muscle work as well as joint (Chiropractic) therapies. It is the only way that the body's condition is treated completely, and allows for all affected areas injured to heal properly. Most, if not all, of our patients are guided through supervised exercise sessions in our facility so that they may have a way to help themselves look and feel better on their own.

In order to determine the cause of your condition and what you can do about it, it is important that you get to know your own body. You will get to know more about yourself and the different parts of the body that are being examined. If needed, X-rays may be taken.

The doctors at FCCSP can help you decide which type of care is appropriate for your condition after doing a thorough examination which will address the following:

1. Your medical history
2. Your history of injury or previous conditions
3. Checking your range of motion
4. Checking your patterns of pain or referred pain
5. Checking your nervous system's condition post injury
6. Determining if your condition is in an acute or chronic stage of healing
7. Determining the effects your posture has on your condition
8. Identifying your causes of pain and discomfort
9. Determining if an X-ray is appropriate
10. Evaluating your current lifestyle to see if it helps or hinders your ability to heal

When necessary, professional referrals to a Neurologist, Orthopedist, Internist, or Diagnostinc Imaging (CT and MRI) are made. Patients have access to a team of medical specialists.

Relief care is necessary to get rid of your symptoms or pain, but not the cause of it. It is the same as drying a floor that was getting wet from a leak, but not fixing the leak.

Corrective care differs from relief care that its goal is to ger rid of they symptoms or pain while correcting the cause of the problem. Corrective care varies in its length or time, but is more lasting.

Patients will determine the course of care they receive. We expect conditions that we treat to resolve to the best possible degree by allowing patients to maintain good health, rather than have the problem return in the future.
