Most
patients start with Initial Intensive Care. Initial Intensive Care is about
damage control. The primary focus of this crisis care is to reduce or eliminate your most
obvious symptoms. Initial
Intensive care in itself cannot stabilise spinal decay. Initially, you may
require many spinal corrections to begin to unlock damaged joints within the
spine and remove pressure from the nervous system. The fibrosis (scar
tissue) around the joints of the spine and nerves, the stress and damage on
your ligaments, tendons, and muscles due to years of chronic subluxations, can
make it difficult to hold your spinal corrections. Initial Intensive Care
usually involves multiple sessions per week (2 or more), depending on the nature
and complexity of your injury.
You will
be prescribed Initial Intensive Care if:
• Your
chronic (long-standing) or acute (recent) subluxations have damaged your vertebral
joints, nerves, discs, muscles, meninges (the soft tissue layers around the spinal
cord containing small blood vessels, tendons and ligaments.
• Your spine
is weak and unstable, and your spinal corrections hold briefly and incompletely.
• You may
have advanced spinal decay.
• You have
height loss, stiffness, tightness, tension, and constant physical or emotional pain.
• Your
posture is off-centre, and your spine is unbalanced.
• Your
energy is low, your breath is shallow, and your ability to adapt to life’s
stress is compromised.
