Ask questions of your provider
Both during, and in between your follow up sessions- we are here for you, and educating you as best we can is our ideal day.

Reach out to the office and our office staff will check in for you, or reach out directly to your practitioner’s email. We will do our best to get the answers to your questions to you ASAP, in between our daily clinic tasks!

Have your next follow up treatment on the books, according to your treatment plan.
For some people this means weekly, especially for your first few visits. If you’re on a maintenance plan, this may be every 3-4 weeks, once a season, or even once a year. This recommended timing is set by your practitioner and you, depending on what you are working through and where you are at in your treatment.
We often say, follow up appointments are where the real magic is at- keeping your care consistent and preventative, rather than trying to solve problems before they become larger and more ingrained. If life plans shift, or the game plan changes, we can always adjust; but best to have your ideal appointment time set and waiting for you by the time you need it! <3
