The Four Phases of Care

By Dr. Amber Voitenko
 on January 20, 2021

Relief, Corrective, Strengthening, and Wellness

As our Patient Educator explains in this video, there are four phases of care: relief, corrective, strengthening, and wellness. Each phase is important to address to get the person in pain back to optimal health.

The relief phase of care is where we address the symptoms that are occurring to help bring a reduction of those symptoms and the resulting inflammation.

The corrective phase of care is next. In this phase of care, the symptoms are improving or disappearing. The main part of this phase is that function and mobility are starting to come back.

After relief and correction, comes strengthening. This is where improved function and mobility lead to increased strength returning. This builds back the muscles to keep the correction in place.

The final phase of care is wellness. This is the phase that maintains the correction and strength. Functionality has returned and the person is able to maintain their spine in order to prevent future injury.

Voitenko Wellness treats all kinds of pain from acute to chronic. If you or someone you know is ready to get well, please call (714) 730-2225.

Shoulder, Arm, and Hand Injuries

Fighting Extremity Injuries Through Chiropractic

Many people face chronic pain from unresolved shoulder, arm, and hand injuries like bursitis, neuritis, neuralgia, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears, carpal tunnel, and fibrositis. These injuries can cause long term, recurring pain because the area of injury is weakened.

How do you know something is wrong? When you get pain sensors forcing your attention to the body part in question, the brain is communicating via billions of nerves that extend from the brain through the entire body, branching off to our different organs, muscles, tissues.

In the case of shoulder, arm, or hand pain, it is commonly a brachial plexus injury. The brachial plexus is an intricate network of nerves in the back and neck which can become irritated or inflamed due to trauma, injury, or misalignment of the spine. Injury to the brachial plexus nerves can result in muscle weakness, shoulder or neck stiffness, pain (radiating or pinpointed), numbness, or “pins and needles” nerve sensations. Severe injuries to this region can also result in dizziness, headaches, and limited mobility.

A technique called muscle stripping can be coupled with chiropractic adjustments at our office to effectively treat these injuries and prevent symptoms from returning.

Chiropractic adjustments have been well-documented in correcting shoulder, arm, and hand injuries, but waiting until the need for correction is never the best choice. It is always important to take precautions to prevent injuries from occurring. You can keep your body strong and more resilient to trauma by strengthening weak muscles with exercise, fueling your body with the nutrients it needs to heal itself, and getting regular adjustments to prevent damage to the spine and nervous system.

Double Crush Syndrome or Carpal Tunnel

Identifying the reason why one has symptoms is important when it comes to carpal tunnel. Double crush syndrome can be the reason why one has wrist pain. Double crush syndrome is often misdiagnosed as carpal tunnel. Double crush syndrome can be treated successfully with chiropractic care and innovative muscle therapy, such as Rapid Release Technology, Active Release Technique, or FDA approved Cold Laser.

Before surgery for carpal tunnel one should look into the possibility of the problem of a compromised median nerve in the cervical spine. This can be due to an old whiplash injury, bad posture in the work place, and even osteoarthritis.

A thorough examination, as well as x-ray and even MRI studies, doing specific neurological and orthopedic tests can help identify the problem.

Is it Really Possible to Balance Hormones Naturally?

Natural Hormone Balancing in Women

Did you know that PMS, blood sugar levels and estrogen dominance all have similar symptoms? Estrogen dominance is when the body has excess estrogen and is unopposed or not balanced by progesterone. This syndrome occurs due to specific situations, such as hormone replacement therapy, exposure to xenoestrogens, birth control pills, and hysterectomies.  Xenoestrogens are found in skin care, food, insecticides, and building supplies.

According to Dr. John Lee , M.D. he feels that, “estrogen dominance is a huge factor in conditions such as, uterine fibroids, breast/uterine cancer, premenopausal bone loss, PMS and Fibrocystic breasts.”

Here is a list of symptoms that can be caused or made worse by estrogen dominance:

Headaches, fatigue, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, infertility, allergies, autoimmune disorders, osteoporosis, and PMS

Diet plays a role in estrogen dominance. Looking closely at what foods are being eaten and the quantity is very important for the balancing of a women’s  hormones.
