Wellness Care in Pawleys Island, SC
For patients who have finished active treatment and want to keep the result they worked for.
After Active Care
Keeping What You Have Regained
Corrective care addresses the problem that brought you in. Once that is resolved, some patients stop and return only if something recurs. Others continue at a much lower frequency to maintain the motion and posture they regained.
Both are entirely legitimate choices. Dr. Fico will give you his recommendation and the reasoning behind it, and then it is your decision. Nobody at this office will pressure you into an open-ended schedule.
- Typically once every four to eight weeks
- Reassessment rather than automatic adjusting
- Advice on work setup, lifting and sleep positioning
- Stop and restart whenever it suits you
Who Tends To Choose It
Physically demanding work
Roofers, nurses, hairdressers and landscapers, anyone whose job repeatedly loads the same structures.
A history of recurrence
If the same problem has returned three times, maintenance often costs less than the next flare-up.
Long-standing conditions
Scoliosis, prior fusion or degenerative change that will not resolve but can be managed.
Desk-based work
Eight hours a day in one position asks a lot of a neck and mid-back.
Active adults
Golf, tennis, pickleball and running all place asymmetric demands on the spine.
People who simply feel better
Some patients maintain care because they move and sleep better doing so.
