Laying the Foundation for Total Health
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. There are three general phases of chiropractic care:
Phase 1: Relief Care
If you are in pain when you come into our office, the first objective is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your problem, it is typical to need care two to three times per week for four to 12 weeks.
Phase 2: Corrective/Restorative Care
During the corrective care phase, muscles and other tissues are allowed to heal more completely, thereby helping prevent injury. It is typical to need care four to eight times per month for six to 24 months, depending on your overall health and the severity of your problem.
Phase 3: Wellness Care
Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future. Usually, this only requires a quick visit to the chiropractor one to four times per month, based on your lifestyle and goals.

Welcome to Katy Elite Chiropractic! We’re excited that you’re considering a visit to our office. Check out what to expect here. Get to know us. Then, contact us to make an appointment so we can get to know you.
Prior to your first visit, we ask that you complete your new patient paperwork in full. The more information we have about your health history, the more we can help, and therefore we ask that you take your time filling it out with as much detail as you see fit.
INITIAL VISIT
(CONSULTATION AND EXAMINATION)
First – We will go over an extensive history with you in regards to your current and past health challenges, if any.
Second – We will spend time explaining how chiropractic wellness care works, and specifically how things are done in our office. We strongly feel that the more we know about you, and the more you know about us, the more we can help, and that is our primary mission.
Third – A comprehensive examination. The exam done at our office is very thorough and expansive, allowing us to figure out exactly what is going on with your health, and what the true cause of your challenges are.
The first part of the exam (when applicable) is taking spinal x-rays. This allows us to see what is going on with the structure of your spine, and how it relates to your challenge.
The major emphasis of our initial exam is to evaluate your spine, determine how it is functioning, and find where the stress and challenges are that will need to be addressed.
This first day is very comprehensive, but should still be finished in less than an hour. After the initial visit is completed Dr. Zukeran will then go over all the information gathered and create a specific treatment plan.
YOUR SECOND VISIT
(FINDINGS AND TREATMENT)
Dr. Zukeran will go over all the results of your examination. We refer to this as your Report of Findings. This is also the time where you have the freedom to ask any and all questions you may have.
He will go over your x-rays (if taken) and any important findings from those will be discussed. It is very important to us that you have a good understanding of what is going on with your spine, so again questions will be taken throughout the entire Report of Findings.
Based on the findings of examination, the doctor will prescribe a course of chiropractic care for your condition or if you would need care from a different provider.
REGULAR VISITS
(TREATMENT & FOLLOW UP)
On a typical visit during the course of your care, you will always be greeted warmly by our incredible front desk staff. They will first have you sign in electronically for your appointment, and then get you set up for your care.
Every part of the care in our office contributes to the process designed to restore your health and wellness. So while you will likely have more frequent visits in the beginning you will be seeing progress with each step along the way!
