Cheryl Kent, D.C. 

The integrated health professionals at our Winter Park office are dedicated to helping you achieve optimal health and wellness.

We provide every patient with the individual care you deserve.

 

After an initial evaluation, our physician, exercise therapist, nutritionist, and massage therapist create a coordinated approach to address your specific health concerns.

 

Our patients generally obtain the greatest benefit from following the Four Phases of Care:

 

Phase 1 – Pain Relief

Our primary objective is to reduce your pain and help prevent your condition from worsening. We first determine the cause of your pain and then use different techniques to greatly reduce or eliminate your symptoms entirely.  After your symptoms have been minimized or eliminated, we continue to the second phase.

 

Phase 2 – Correction

After your symptoms diminish, we begin to correct the functional abnormalities that cause joint, muscle pain and nerve interference.

We create a scheduled program during this phase for you to achieve optimal body function.

Following the scheduled treatment program as described will ensure that you get the best results.

Maintaining your functional corrections with regular visits will also further reduce pain and greatly reduce the probability of recurring symptoms.

Without proper completion of the Correction phase, your problem will most likely return.

 

Phase 3 – Strengthening

Strengthening begins shortly after symptoms begin to diminish and partial functional movement has been achieved.  Correction and strengthening work together to support and maintain proper function.  Our exercise therapists and conditioning specialist work directly with you to retrain the affected muscles and ligaments.  This combination improves function and brings you to a higher level of fitness.

 

In addition, we will create a personalized corrective exercise program for you that involves coordination and strength training.

During this phase, our goal is to correct and strengthen your muscular function to better support your skeletal system. This helps maintain the corrections you’ve achieved and results in optimal body function.

 

Phase 4 – Wellness and Prevention

After you have taken the time and effort to go through phases 1-3, we encourage you to maintain an enhanced level of health and wellness rather than suffering later with a recurring pain cycle.  You will want to take preventative measures during this phase to maintain optimal spinal and joint/muscle function.  Once you have reached your goals, we become your partner in health by being available for routine wellness visits.
