At Authentic Healing, Dr. DeSantis' focus is both on preventative care and the treatment of pre-existing conditions. We offer three stages of care for all our patients- Relief, Curative, and Prevention. Relief- The primary goal on the relief stage of care is to provide the patient with symptomatic relief. Curative- In the curative stage, the aim is to identify and cure the problems that contributed to the initial pain, and to rehabilitate the damaged tissues. This stage is vital to complete recovery from the source of the pain. Preventative- Once a patient's condition has normalized we recommend that periodic spinal checkups with a chiropractor become routine. This stage of treatment may also include adjunctive care including therapeutic massage, exercises and stretches. |
