About
At Elevate Chiropractic and Performance Therapy (Elevate), we are committed to empowering our patients to take control of their health by guiding them to a higher level of function and movement.
When you change function, you change pain. Not just for the moment, but for good.
Our approach is different than most.
Here’s a few of the values that inform how we operate:
The best doctors listen more than they speak.
Our first core value at Elevate is “Before all else, listen.” We pride ourselves in always having a “learning conversation” with each and every patient.
We do this for 3 reasons:
To gain a firm understanding of the problem so that we know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the correct solution can be reached.
To learn what drives the patient. What are their goals and aspirations? What will they do once they’re better? This enables us to create unique metrics tailored to the patient’s desired outcomes that will be monitored and tracked along the road to recovery.
To make sure that we are the right fit for one another and that this is indeed a problem that we can solve. If not, we will refer the patient to another provider in our network that will give them the care they need.
Our goal is not to get you out of pain, but to keep you out of pain.
After hearing the patient’s story, we carry out a thorough movement screening and functional evaluation. This is where we find the imbalances and dysfunctions that create the groundwork for treating the root cause, not just the symptom. Rarely is the problem where the pain is.
Our approach to treatment is comprised of 3 phases:
Stop the Pain: Here, the goal is to calm down the inflamed tissues and start priming them to tolerate more load and movement. We do this through utilizing the latest tools and techniques in chiropractic and rehab science.
Stabilize: As the pain becomes more manageable, we then start to address the imbalances that most directly contribute to the root cause of the pain. This looks like a number of highly specific drills and exercises that uniquely address these deficits.
Bomb Proof: This is without a doubt the most critical part of the entire process. This is where we ensure that the patient walks out stronger and more resilient than they were before the injury. This phase drastically reduces the likelihood of reinjury in the future.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime.
Without education, history will always repeat itself.
It isn’t enough to help someone get better without teaching them about how they got there in the first place. If we don’t understand the condition, how can we ever realistically expect to keep it from returning.
At Elevate we ensure that our patients have a firm understanding of what is causing their pain, how we intend to fix it, and most importantly what they can do outside of the clinic to take matters into their own hands.
