Phase 1: Relief Care

The Goal of Phase 1

The primary objective of relief care is simple — reduce your pain and restore basic function as efficiently as possible. This is the phase where most people notice the most dramatic changes, and it lays the foundation for everything that comes next.

What This Phase Looks Like

Relief care typically involves more frequent visits, often two to three times per week depending on the severity of your condition. The higher frequency allows Dr. Duchene to make consistent progress before your body has a chance to return to its previous pattern.

What We're Working On

During this phase we're reducing inflammation, restoring joint mobility, releasing tight and guarded musculature, and beginning to correct the spinal misalignments that are driving your symptoms. Each visit builds on the last.

How Long Does It Take?

It depends on your condition, your history, and how your body responds. Some patients move through relief care in a few weeks. Others with more chronic or complex presentations take longer. Dr. Duchene will give you a realistic timeline based on what he finds at your evaluation.

Pain Relief Is Just the Beginning

Feeling better doesn't mean you're done. Pain typically resolves before the underlying structural problem is fully corrected — which is why stopping care after Phase 1 often leads to recurrence. Phase 2 is where we consolidate the gains and make them last.
