Welcome to Progressive Chiropractic

With Dr. Ariene Chang
you will receive healing adjustments and personalized spinal rehabilitation.  Our tranquil massage room awaits those of you who need to unwind, or require some deep tissue therapy post injury.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. And while we generally meet people after they have lost their health, our commitment is three-fold:

1. Relief Care

When many people seek care in our office they have one goal: relief.  So that's where we start!  During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

• Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
• Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
• Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
• Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Corrective Care

Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.

During the correction / restorative phase of your care, you will not have to receive adjustments as often as you did during the first phase of care and, depending on your particular circumstances, you may begin doing exercises and stretches either at the center or at home to help accelerate your healing.

Do not be discouraged if you have mild flare-ups in your symptoms on occasion. This is normal. Flare-ups are bound to occur during this phase because your body has not fully healed. Depending on the severity of your injury or condition and how long you have been suffering from it, this phase of your care may last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.

3. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can.  Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care.  Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

You're the Boss

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants.  You're the boss!  It's your body, your health and your future.  Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it's up to you to decide how much of it you want.
