STEP BY STEP

INTO A HEALTHY LIFE

Our treatment phases

Misalignments are usually years if not decades old. Chiropractic adjustments build on each other, much like a training plan. The regularity of the treatment is just as important as the treatment itself.

Your treatment plan always includes 3 phases of healing. The duration of the individual phases varies greatly from person to person. The longer and more complicated a problem is, the longer it will take until your nervous system no longer follows the old patterns.

We will give you an approximate estimate of how many adjustments you will need during the first appointments for initial anamnesis in our practise. Regular interim examinations provide us with information about your progress.

Please remember: HEALING TAKES TIME.

CORRECTION PHASE

This is where the correction of the nerve disorder takes place. This requires regular appointments at shorter intervals, as the body is not yet able to maintain the adjustments over a longer period of time. 

STABILIZATION PHASE

Regular treatments also take place during this phase, but at longer intervals. The body will get used to the corrected posture in the long term.

STRENGTHENING PHASE

This phase of treatment serves to care for the nervous system and improve health. Treatment is preventative so that subluxations can be recognized and corrected before they lead to disorders.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

WHEN IS TREATMENT RECOMMENDED?

Chiropractic is suitable for all age groups. Whether young or old, we all want to be healthy and stay that way into old age. There is always the possibility to change something in our lives for the better, be it mental or physical complaints. Everyone has the potential for a healthy life and a functioning body.

Basically, the earlier problems are recognized, the easier and sooner subluxations can be corrected. On the other hand, it is never too late to do something for your health. 

Even at over 80 years of age, people still have unimagined self-healing powers. As long as we are alive, our body and brain can heal if the internal connections are working and our nervous system is intact. 

CAN I BENEFIT FROM CHIROPRACTIC EVEN IF I HAVE NO PAIN?

The majority of our patients come for regular treatment to maintain and optimize their well-being and to treat problems as they arise. These patients often have no specific problems.

Most problems or pain develop slowly, without being noticed at first. Some symptoms that are often not associated with the spine and nervous system include: Poor sleep quality, low energy, high stress levels, concentration problems, digestive issues, and many more.

It's worth taking a closer look here!

For this reason, we offer a comprehensive initial anamnesis to find the cause of the problem.

IS THE TREATMENT PAINFUL?

No. The blocked joints are treated with targeted, gentle impulses. This restores the function of a joint and removes the disruptive influence on our nervous system and thus on the muscles and control of the organs. 

The reactions after an adjustment vary greatly. As the body is subjected to unaccustomed strain and has to adapt to the change, sore muscles or temporary tiredness can occur after the adjustments, for example. However, this is generally unproblematic and relatively natural if a joint has become mobile again after a very long time or if muscles that have been permanently tense recently have been loosened up again.

WHAT RESULTS CAN CHIROPRACTIC ACHIEVE?

The results of chiropractic are different for each person, as each person is unique and we perceive them as such. Many patients report a surge of energy, others report sleeping better or being able to concentrate and focus better, still others say they are more productive or have noticed an improved ability to resist illness.

WHY DOES IT CRACK DURING TREATMENT?

Joints of the spine, so-called facet joints, form a small vacuum when they are displaced (subluxated). If the joints are now brought into their normal position, the vacuum can be released and produce a “cracking” sound. This is harmless and can also be observed when you crack your fingers.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES TO CHIROPRACTIC OR MANUAL THERAPY?

Modern chiropractic is an independent, holistic, highly precise and gentle system for treating the whole body. It is important to note that modern American chiropractic is not the same as the chiropractic treatment sometimes offered by doctors and alternative practitioners in Germany.

As a rule, there are fundamental differences in the training (short weekend seminars for chiropractors, full-time studies lasting several years for chiropractors) and diagnosis, as well as in the techniques used. In modern chiropractic, there is no painful tugging or pulling on the patient. In contrast to other methods of manual medicine, bones and joints are never moved beyond their natural range of motion. This is where chiropractic adjustment differs fundamentally from other methods.

All chiropractors at Chiropractic Center Berlin have completed several years of full-time chiropractic studies, hold the title M.Sc in Chiropractic and belong to the Deutsch- Amerikanischen Gesellschaft für Chiropraktik e.V. to. 

WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF THE TREATMENT?

Our chiropractors belong to the DAGC (German-American Chiropractic Association). Thanks to our many years of training and practical experience, we know how to correctly assess possible risks. The treatment methods we use are a safe form of treatment for disorders of biomechanical origin. Of course, we will inform you in detail about possible individual risks during the initial consultation. 

CAN I GET PREVENTIVE TREATMENT?

Yes, definitely. 

Your spine can also be examined regularly and problems can be rectified at an early stage before major damage occurs and pain arises. Have yourself and your family professionally examined and adjusted by a chiropractor on a regular basis.

Regular monitoring and treatment is therefore advisable, as individual fixations and/or malfunctions of the vertebral bodies do not necessarily immediately lead to irritation in the body. The patient may not feel pain or have restricted movement. Only when the problem has existed for a long time and the body is at its regulatory end do symptoms appear. With regular examinations, a well-trained chiropractor can detect and adjust this malfunction before changes occur in the muscle, organ and joint system.

This can be compared to a visit to the dentist: A hole in the tooth must be treated professionally. After the healing process, however, it is important to maintain further care in order to prevent further damage to the tooth structure. This is why we go for prophylaxis (dermatologist, gynecologist, dentist, etc.). This applies equally to the muscular, joint and nervous system.

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN YOU ARE PREGNANT?

Chiropractic treatments are particularly recommended during pregnancy. The physical changes during pregnancy are immense and place a great strain on the body. In order to make pregnancy as comfortable as possible, pregnant women regularly come for treatment. Special gentle techniques are used here that can reduce the discomfort experienced by the pregnant person. Among other things:  

  • back pain 
  • acid reflux
  • pelvic obliquity
  • headache and migraine

Please let us know before treatment if you are pregnant. 

TO WHAT EXTENT DOES PREVENTIVE TREATMENT MAKE SENSE FOR ATHLETES IN PARTICULAR?

In competitive and professional sport, modern chiropractic is one of the elementary parts of treatment and is therefore indispensable. Of course, this also applies to amateurs, hobby and amateur athletes. 

Chiropractic treatment not only improves recovery from injuries, but also optimizes performance and movement ergonomics. Treatment before and during competitions helps athletes to achieve maximum performance.
