Active Care Rehabilitation

While the goal of chiropractic treatment is the correction of discrete mechanical lesions and their accompanying consequences, and while the expected result of such treatment is the reduction of symptoms and improvement of function of this discrete lesion, there is a broader, more holistic context which includes the overall flexibility, strength and integration of movement of the spine and the locomotor system. Active care rehabilitation places emphasis on disordered function taking in to account the demands of each individual’s environments, - in the workplace, at home, and at play- on the spine and locomotor system. Maximum recovery depends upon appropriately reintegrating the patient/ person - physically and psychosocially - with these environments. The goal of active care is to improve regional and locomotor flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination through the use of therapeutic exercise.
