Chiropractic Care
IT ALL COMES BACK TO WELLNESS
At Green Mountain Chiropractic and Massage in Lakewood, CO, chiropractic care is not just about relieving pain; it’s about enhancing even the seemingly healthy person’s function, performance, and quality of life. Chiropractic looks at not only the structural side but also the mental, emotional, and nutritional sides of wellness. Chiropractic care ensures that the spine functions properly to maximize normal nerve flow and minimize pressure on the nervous system caused by stress, postural strain, or injury, which can lead to pain, dysfunction, and decreased quality of life. It is gratifying to see people of all ages turning to chiropractic as a safe and effective alternative to medication and surgery for a wide variety of health issues.
Chiropractic care aims to relieve pain, promote healing, restore and maintain function, reduce the likelihood of re-injury, restore proper motion, and prevent accelerated degenerative spine disease. Comprehensive chiropractic healthcare goes much further. It all comes back to wellness, defined as not simply the absence of sickness. Wellness suggests a proactive approach to living, which results in optimal physical, emotional, and social well-being. This involves learning how to get healthy and stay healthy by practicing positive health habits and giving up harmful ones.

WHAT DOES TREATMENT INVOLVE?
Chiropractors locate misalignments in the spine that lead to the malfunction of joints and nervous tissue.
Most conditions are treated with chiropractic adjustments, a form of manual therapy that is a safe, often gentle, specific
spinal manipulation of joints in the spine or other areas of the body that are not moving properly.
Chiropractors also use several other techniques such as spinal decompression, exercises, massage, laser therapy, and acupuncture, as well as offering advice about posture, gait, nutrition, and lifestyle. Many patients are given stretches and exercises to do at home.
These will often play an active and important role in their treatment and aid quicker, long-term recovery.
WHAT TO EXPECT AT YOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION
Your consultation with our experienced Lakewood, Colorado chiropractor, Dr. Mark Wolff, will begin with a detailed discussion of your current concerns, along with a comprehensive review of your medical history, lifestyle, and overall health. Dr. Wolff will then perform a thorough examination to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms. This may include an assessment of your spine, joints, and muscles, as well as appropriate neurological and orthopedic tests. X-rays will only be recommended when clinically necessary.
Once a diagnosis has been established, Dr. Wolff will provide a detailed report of findings. He will clearly explain the underlying cause of your pain or symptoms, discuss his recommendations for treatment and care, and take the time to understand your personal health goals.
Dr. Wolff will then outline your recommended treatment plan, including the treatment methods best suited to your needs, the anticipated number of visits, and the expected time frame for care. Together, you will agree on the most appropriate path forward to support your recovery, restore function, and help you achieve your health goals.
The length and frequency of care will vary depending on several factors, including the nature and severity of your condition, how long your symptoms have been present, and how your body responds to treatment. Dr. Wolff will discuss his recommendations with you during your first visit and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs and health goals.
When the recommended treatment plan is followed, many patients experience meaningful improvements in pain, mobility, and overall function. Patients with long-standing, recurring, or chronic conditions may also benefit from periodic supportive or maintenance care. When appropriate, these options will be discussed with you so that you can make an informed decision about your ongoing care.
In the rare event that chiropractic care is not appropriate for your condition, or if further imaging, specialist assessment, or additional testing is required, Dr. Wolff will refer you to the most appropriate healthcare provider or facility.
