PLEASE READ THE PRE-TREATMENT GUIDELINES BEFORE YOU CONTINUE FILLING OUT THE FORM

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

Very Important A: Please refrain from taking any NSAID class drugs (Advil, ibuprofen, Motrin, aspirin, naproxen, etc.) orally or topically at least 2 days prior to your treatment and a minimum of 2 days after your treatment. It is optimal not to take these at all during your series. Non-NSAID pain relievers (Tylenol, Tramadol, narcotics) are OK to take. Natural anti-inflammatories such as Curcumin, healthy omega oils, and other natural health supplements are OK. Baby aspirin for heart health is OK, but higher doses are not recommended due to blood thinning action. Other than NSAIDs, DO NOT discontinue any of your regular medications. Talk to your medical doctor if you have special concerns.

Very Important B: Hydration! Make sure to be fully hydrated for 2 days prior to your appointment. Take your body weight, divide it in half… that is the number of ounces of water you should drink daily. It is important to drink clean water with balanced electrolytes. (i.e. A 200 lb person (50% of 200 = 100) would drink 100 ounces of water daily) If you are dehydrated, it decreases the effectiveness of the treatment. The success of this treatment rests on harnessing and focusing your body's ability to heal, so be sure to set the stage for your success.

For the safety and comfort of our patients and staff, Source Family Chiropractic is a Fragrance-Free Zone. DO NOT wear any perfume, cologne, scented lotions, scented hair products, or clothing washed with scented fabric softener on the day of your treatment.

Please do not attempt to sedate yourself by taking pain medications that you are not accustomed to, or worse, a cocktail of medications prior to your treatment. It is very important that you are alert and able to feel and give the doctor feedback during your treatment in order to target your best therapeutic dose. While there may be minimal pain with your treatment, your doctor will communicate with you continually and adjust intensity so that you have a good experience, and nothing will go over your threshold of comfort.

Please do not attempt any multi-day fasts, either directly before or directly after your treatment. Multi-day fasting can put your body in a vulnerable state which can lead to post-treatment recovery complications. Do make sure to be well rested, eat well, and avoid sugar and alcohol.

Wear loose comfortable clothing that is easy to take off and put on, try to wear slip-on shoes if possible. If you are having treatment for a knee or hip, yoga pants, tights, or tapered ankle pants will require you to change into our gowns and shorts.

If you have high blood pressure, it is a good idea to monitor your pressure for a few days in advance of your appointment. If necessary, do a medication check with your doctor before your treatment. If your blood pressure is uncontrolled, we may have to postpone your treatment for your safety.

Have realistic expectations and be patient. While we are happy to report that our overall results are excellent, it is important to know that this treatment does not help everyone. Although many patients feel amazing changes in the first few sessions, initial reactions vary. In fact, some levels of inflammation and even mild soreness are common initially as we are targeting and stimulating your body's healing response. The real magic of this unique therapy is in the long-term effects that accumulate slowly and will not be fully evident until months after your series is complete. This is true healing that takes time unlike the short-term effects of a medication or pill. Even in the best-case scenario, improvement in pain and function can take several months. If you are a few weeks out and are not miraculously better, don't panic. Please be patient, this is not a quick-fix, we are working towards long-term health and vitality. If you are already seeing immediate positive changes, just wait! Keep treating your body well and allow for even more improvement.

Plan to provide a lowered-stress environment to promote optimal healing and results just before and during your series. Exacerbations of emotional stress, overly long hours at work, and sleep deprivation will deplete your body's ability to heal and diminish your results. If you need to shift your series to a more optimal time, or delay your start by a week or two, let us know! We are committed to creating every opportunity for you to get well.

Also, as you are feeling positive effects, do not engage in overly strenuous exercise, outside of your normal activity. Do not plan a competitive athletic event to fall during your series. It is important to provide your body with not only a healing environment but reduced demands to optimize healing. Best results and performance are found about 90 days after your series is complete. If you have questions about a specific activity, ask us and we will consider your unique goals and circumstances.

If you have serious problems with optimal posture, or use improper form for exercise or daily activities, this will put unnecessary stress on your joints and will negatively affect your results. Please talk to us if you need suggestions or guidance.

If you have compromised nerve supply to your treatment area due to a neuro-spinal condition or untreated subluxation this will negatively affect your results. We strongly suggest that you receive any necessary treatment for this condition prior to receiving your Softwave series.
