This program is designed for individuals living at a distance from the clinic and unable to participate in an extended period of care. This program is structured so that patients come to the San Rafael area for brief stays (from one to two weeks, Monday through Friday) and that they experience an accelerated regimen of treatment at the clinic. The first day of Intensive Care includes the initial examination and a Chiropractic treatment. Subsequent days include two treatments of Logan Basic Chiropractic. (See "Logan Basic Chiropractic Technique" for a discussion of this treatment and the benefits of this approach.) Within a period of five days, a person will have experienced ten sessions.

Those patients who have experienced health conditions that are difficult to resolve, such as chronic illnesses or the serious "big label" illnesses (such as Cancer or Arthritis), could find this approach helpful. When a condition has been "stuck" for a long time, one often needs a concerted "push" for the body to initiate or accelerate self-healing.

It is strongly recommended that individuals undergoing the Intensive Care Program also avail themselves of the clinic's nutritional work-up recommendations (unless this aspect of treatment has already been addressed). It is, however, not a requirement. (See "Nutritional Healing" for information on the Center's approach to diagnosing and correcting nutritional and digestive imbalances.)

In addition, attention will be paid to the ways in which stress may be contributing to a patient's condition. Various stress reduction techniques may also be recommended. (See "Stress Syndrome and the Adaptive Response" for a discussion of the role stress plays in modern-day life and wellness.)

This program is designed for those patients who live locally and/or who do not require an accelerated program. Treatment begins with an initial examination and treatment. A typical program includes Chiropractic care three times weekly for from two to four weeks. A nutritional work-up and stress reduction techniques may be suggested depending upon the patient's history and the results of the intial examination.

This program is designed for people who have completed either the Intensive Care or Corrective Care Programs and who wish to return to the Clinic on a regular basis for preventive care. A Chiropractic session every four to six weeks is recommended, with a nutritonal work-up once or twice yearly. Ongoing factors of structural balance, dietary and digestive imbalances and emotional stressors will be considered in an overall program to maintain wellness. (See "The Wellness Program" for a discussion of the benefits of preventive care.)
