We are proud to provide patient empowerment to our patients. Our treatments encompass various aspects of your health. We go above and beyond to provide you with the knowledge and tools to take charge of your health. We aim to empower you to make proactive choices that positively impact your health. From diet and nutrition to ergonomic instruction, we’ve got you covered as we look to help you achieve your health goals.
Diet & Nutrition
Dr. Guerriero provides dietary and nutritional instruction to assist his patients in their recovery from injuries or health issues as well as for preventive measures against common risk factors and diseases. His recommendations are specific to the individual patient’s needs and goals and to the particular needs of the patient’s body.
Dr. Guerriero reviews symptom and system questionnaires, blood work, and lab testing to advise on both diet and nutraceuticals that will have the best impact on the patient.
The highest quality nutraceutical supplements from Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Metagenics, and Standard Process are utilized by Dr. Guerriero and are available at the office or by adding the patient to Dr. Guerriero’s patient list for Thorne and/or Pure Encapsulations. This allows the patient to order what is recommended directly from these companies, with a variety of benefits.
Rehabilitation & Exercises Plans
Specific exercise plans are designed based on the doctors’ findings during the examination and during the treatment of his patient’s injuries. They are designed to speed up recovery and address the deficiencies that have led the patient to injury. Patients are also instructed on which exercises to continue with after recovery in order to prevent future injury.
The doctors provide instruction regarding the patient’s current exercise habits and patterns to prevent injury or assist with goals. They also design exercise plans to meet particular patient goals, such as improving strength and size, losing weight, or lowering cholesterol.
Ergonomics
Ergonomic instruction is an attempt to eliminate aggravating factors for patients and to prevent future injury. Dr. Guerriero’s goal is to get his patients better as quickly as possible and to keep them well for as long as possible without the necessity of frequent care. Ergonomic instruction can include informing a patient about how to best set up their workstation or advice on sleeping positions and support. The goal is to prevent aggravating factors from prolonging a patient’s injury and to keep the patient from re-injuring himself or herself once care is concluded.
Referrals
Our doctors will refer patients to other healthcare providers in both the medical and alternative healthcare communities as necessary. Referrals occur if someone else is better suited to treat a particular condition if the combined treatment of another healthcare provider would help speed recovery, or if care from another provider after the conclusion of care at Pro Active Chiropractic would help the patient prevent the recurrence of his or her issues. Of course, our doctors also refer patients for imaging studies and/or evaluation in order to determine if more serious issues are at hand that did not at first show themselves during the history and examination.
What is Patient Empowerment?
Patient empowerment is the process of providing you with the education, support, and resources necessary to take control of your health and well-being. This means that you are no longer a passive recipient of care but an active participant in decision-making. At Pro Active Chiropractic, PA, we work with you to understand your body, identify contributing factors to your health issues, and create strategies to achieve your personal health goals. Our goal is to give you the tools and confidence to sustain your progress beyond our office.
