What to Expect from a Visit at Protosoma
When you step into Protosoma you’re not just visiting a chiropractic clinic—you’re embarking on a journey toward long-term health and wellness. At Protosoma, we believe in addressing the root causes of dysfunction, not just alleviating symptoms. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect when you choose us for your care.
Your First Visit: A Thorough Assessment
The foundation of effective care is understanding your unique needs. Your initial visit will focus on a detailed assessment and consultation, where we’ll take the time to listen to your concerns and understand your goals.
Patient History
We will start by reviewing your medical history and current symptoms. Whether you’re struggling with chronic pain, limited mobility, or seeking to enhance athletic performance, we want to understand your story.
Comprehensive Examination
Using a combination of orthopedic tests, functional movement screens, and palpation techniques, we will assess the root causes of your condition. Our approach incorporates a biopsychosocial model, which addresses not just physical dysfunction but also psychological and social factors impacting your well-being.
Clear Communication
Before any treatment begins, we’ll explain our findings in simple, actionable terms. You’ll understand the “why” behind your symptoms, and we’ll outline a clear path forward tailored to your goals.
The Treatment Process
At Protosoma, every treatment plan is customized to your needs and goals. Here’s what you might experience during your visit:
1. Soft Tissue Therapy
Using techniques like FAKTR, Graston, or cupping, we address muscular tension, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation.
2. Joint Mobilization and Adjustments
Our adjustments are focused on restoring optimal movement patterns and alleviating discomfort. We ensure every adjustment is safe and effective.
3. Rehabilitative Exercises
Movement is medicine, and we’ll guide you through exercises tailored to your condition. Whether it’s activating deep stabilizers or improving flexibility, these exercises empower you to stay healthy between visits.
Education and Lifestyle Coaching
Beyond the clinic, we equip you with tools and strategies to support your progress. From ergonomic advice to breathing techniques, we want you to thrive in your daily life.
Follow-Up Visits: Progress and Prevention
Healing is a process, and follow-up visits ensure your care evolves as your body responds to our treatments. During these sessions, we’ll:
Assess Your Progress
We’ll revisit your goals, re-evaluate your condition, and adjust your plan as needed. Using metrics that matter to you—such as your ability to perform activities of daily living—we ensure tangible improvements.
Refine Your Treatment
As you progress, we’ll adapt your care to focus on maintaining improvements and preventing future issues. The emphasis will shift from recovery to optimization.
