Most patients that come to our office have one of two objectives in mind concerning their health care. Some patients come for symptomatic relief of pain or discomfort (Relief Care). Your Doctor will weight your needs and desires when recommending your treatment program.
Relief Care is that care necessary to get rid of your symptoms or pain, but not the cause of it. It is the same as drying a floor that was getting wet from a leak, but not fixing the leak.
Corrective Care differs from relief care in that its goal is to get rid of the symptoms or pain while correcting the cause of the problem. Corrective care varies in length of time, but is more lasting.
Please check the type of care desired so that we may be guided by your wishes whenever possible.
