How Do You Create a Personalized Treatment Plan for Each Patient?

At Hunt Holistic Chiropractic in Lutz, Florida, we believe every person is unique, and so is their path to feeling great. With over 9 years of experience, we’ve learned that no two bodies are the same, and that’s why we create personalized treatment plans for every patient who walks through our doors. Whether you’re dealing with back pain, recovering from an auto accident, or just want to feel healthier, we design a plan that fits you. But how do we do it? Let’s break it down in a simple, step-by-step way so you can understand how we make sure you get the care you need.

First, We Listen to Your Story

The first thing we do at Hunt Holistic Chiropractic is listen. When you come to our office, we sit down with you to hear about what’s going on. Are you feeling stiff in the mornings? Did you get hurt in a car accident? Maybe you’re just not feeling your best and don’t know why. We ask questions about your health history, like any injuries you’ve had, what your daily life is like, and even what your goals are. Do you want to run a marathon, play with your kids without pain, or just sleep better? Your story helps us understand what’s happening and what you need.

We also want to know about your lifestyle. For example, do you sit at a desk all day, or are you always on your feet? This helps us figure out what might be causing your discomfort. Listening is the foundation of every personalized plan because it tells us who you are and what your body needs.

Second, We Check Your Body

After we talk, we take a closer look at your body to see what’s going on. We do a physical exam where we check how you move, stand, and even walk. We palpate areas of pain and dysfunction to document muscle hypertonicity. We run a series of orthopedic tests that can help narrow down your diagnosis. We perform range of motion on each area of concern to see where restrictions might be.  We check reflexes and your body’s ability to feel sharp sensations to tell us how your nerves are functioning. We analyze the spine by performing motion palpation on each segment to discover where joint fixations or subluxations are. By combining what you tell us with what we see in the exams, we get a full picture of your health.

Third, We Take X-rays and Review Advanced Imaging

At Hunt Holistic Chiropractic, we use digital X-rays to get a clear picture of your spine and joints. These X-rays are safe and quick, and they help us spot things like misaligned bones or areas that might be causing pain. If you have brought with prior advancing imaging such as CT, MRI, or Diagnostic Ultrasound these will be reviewed after you leave and returned to you at your next visit. The more prior imaging you can provide the 

Fourth, We Choose the Right Tools for You

Once we know what’s going on, we pick the best treatments to help you feel better. At Hunt Holistic Chiropractic, we offer a lot of different services, and we mix and match them to create a plan that’s just for you. Here’s a quick look at some of the tools we use:

• Chiropractic Adjustments: These are gentle movements we do to help your spine and joints line up properly. It’s like giving your body a tune-up so it can move better and feel less pain.
• Acupuncture: We use tiny needles to help your body relax and heal. It’s great for pain and even stress.
• Cold Laser Therapy: This is a special light that helps reduce pain and swelling without any needles or medicine.
• Physical Therapy: We teach you exercises to make your muscles stronger and help you move better.
• Graston/Gua Sha: These are techniques where we use tools to gently massage tight muscles and help them heal.
• Intersegmental Traction: This is a relaxing table that gently stretches your spine to ease tension.
• Supplement and Botanical Medicine Recommendations: We suggest natural vitamins or herbs that can help your body stay strong and healthy.

Not everyone needs all of these. For example, if you have a sore neck from sitting at a computer, we might use chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy exercises. If you’re recovering from an auto accident, we might add cold laser therapy and intersegmental traction. We choose what’s best for you.

Fifth, We Build Your Plan

Now that we’ve listened to you, checked your body, and picked the right tools, we create your personalized treatment plan. This plan is like a roadmap to help you feel better. It includes things like how often you should come in for adjustments, what exercises you can do at home, and maybe even some healthy supplements to try. We make sure the plan fits into your life, so it’s easy to follow.

For example, if you’re a busy parent, we might suggest quick stretches you can do at home and schedule appointments that work with your routine. If you’re an athlete, we might focus on treatments that help you stay strong and flexible. 

Checking In and Adjusting the Plan

At Hunt Holistic Chiropractic, we don’t just give you a plan and send you on your way. We keep checking in to see how you’re doing. As you start feeling better, we might change the plan to keep you moving forward. For example, if your back pain is gone but you still feel stiff, we might add more physical therapy or acupuncture. If you’re feeling great, we might focus on keeping you healthy with fewer visits.

We also teach you how to take care of yourself at home. This might mean showing you how to stretch, eat healthier, or even sit in a way that’s better for your back. Our goal is to help you feel good for the long haul, not just for a day or two.
