Phase 2: Relief Care
Your follow up visits with Dr. Sandhu will consist of a combination of therapies including chiropractic adjustments, interferential current, ultrasound, heat, ice, soft tissue work and stretching. The use of these therapies is determined by the needs of your injury and your phase of care. In this first phase called Relief care, there is generally several different therapies that are required to reduce your pain, decrease swelling and inflammation, and restore range of motion.
Each patient will respond differently to different types of treatment modalities thus treatment is catered to your specific needs. During relief care, Dr. Sandhu will generally see you daily or every second day for treatment depending on your type of injury in order to ensure a speedy recovery.
