Day 12 marks your first progress evaluation.

By this time, you will be plenty comfortable with the layout, flow and processes of our clinic. We will take a new set of x-rays to compare to the images from your first visit (if you had originals taken). Using these for a before and after comparison, we can firmly assess how your body is responding to our specific spinal correction procedures and your take-home exercises.

At this time, we may also make recommendations to scale back or maintain your current care plan. This decision depends on how your spine has responded to your first phase of correctional treatment.

Day 12 also begins the introduction of our nutritional care plan.

You'll be given a brief survey to assess how your current diet and food choices are affecting your health. Our nutrition specialist will review your completed survey and privately discuss your findings with you.

Remember, we want to provide simple, practical solutions to real-life problems. This is not a time for judgment. People too often overlook the importance of the foods they eat. By making some common-sense diet changes, you can drastically improve how you feel each day. Our Maximized Living Nutrition Plans outline this essential philosophy in great detail.

Our specialist will then recommend a nutrition plan according to the results of your assessment. These recommendations vary from person to person, but we will always explain why we recommend certain foods, actions or supplements. Always ask—it is your right.

To help you get started, we even offer sample meal plans from the Maximized Living Nutrition Plans right here on our website.
