Spinal Home Care in Steinbach

Your Recovery Doesn’t Stop When You Leave Our Office

At All Seasons Chiropractic, we believe that the best results come when you’re an active participant in your own healing journey. That’s why Dr. Trevor provides every patient with personalized homework assignments designed to complement and enhance the progress you make during your office visits. Your spinal home care program is empowerment! It gives you the tools and knowledge to take control of your health, accelerate your recovery, and maintain the improvements you’ve worked so hard to achieve.

Your customized home care plan is based on your specific condition, your examination findings, and your individual goals. Dr. Trevor takes time to teach you proper technique for each exercise, stretch and rehabilitation tool, ensuring you can perform and use them safely and effectively at home. This combination of in-office chiropractic adjustments and consistent at-home care creates results that neither approach could achieve alone.

Stretching and Strengthening for Lasting Results

Your home exercise program will include specific stretches designed to improve flexibility and range of motion in areas where you’re restricted or tight. These stretches help maintain the mobility improvements gained through your adjustments and prevent muscles from pulling your spine back out of alignment.

Dr. Trevor will also prescribe strengthening exercises that build the muscular support your spine needs for long-term stability and function and prevent falling back into old habits and patterns. Strengthening weak muscles is essential because your spine relies on balanced, strong muscles to maintain proper alignment. When certain muscles are weak or deconditioned, other muscles compensate, creating imbalances that lead to pain and dysfunction. By following your prescribed strengthening program, you’re building the foundation for lasting spinal health.

Supportive Tools That Make a Difference

In addition to exercises, Dr. Trevor may recommend supportive tools that enhance your recovery at home. Cervical and lumbar foam rolls and wedges help support proper spinal alignment and promote healing while you rest. For some patients, specific braces or supports provide stability during the healing process or help maintain proper posture during daily activities.

These tools aren’t meant to replace your body’s natural strength—they’re designed to support your healing while you’re building that strength back. Dr. Trevor will provide clear guidance on when and how to use each tool to maximize its benefit.

We also provide in-office rehabilitation to complement your adjustments. Patients are taught warm-up exercises for their spine using wobble cushions, trained on a high-vibration plate to “set” the adjustment and improve circulation, and, when appropriate, guided in the use of cervical traction units to gently stretch neck muscles and ligaments and create space between vertebrae. Warm-ups and traction are done pre-adjustment, while the vibration plate is used afterward. These adjunctive therapies help to prepare the body for the adjustment, enhance the effectiveness of the treatment and promote healing and pain relief.

Consistency Creates Results

The patients who see the fastest, most lasting results are those who consistently follow their home care programs. This doesn’t mean you need to spend hours each day on them—most programs take just 10-15 minutes daily. What matters is consistency. By making your spinal home care a daily habit, you’re investing in your long-term health and dramatically improving your outcomes. Dr. Trevor monitors your progress and adjusts your home program as you improve, ensuring you’re always working at the right level for your current condition.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time do I need to spend on home care each day?

Most home care programs take about 10-15 minutes total each day. Dr. Trevor often encourages patients to break them up throughout the day and blend them into everyday routines, such as simple neck strengthening while stopped at a traffic light by gently pressing into the headrest. This makes home care easier to keep up with and less disruptive to daily life.

What if I don’t understand how to do an exercise or remember how to use my foam roll or wobble disc?

Dr. Trevor takes time during your appointment to teach you proper technique for each exercise and patients also have access to our exercise software that comes with video demonstrations. For cervical foam rolls or wedges, Dr. Trevor will show you how to place them and lie on them for best results. Our front desk team will demonstrate how to use the wobble disc in-office and at home. If you have questions when you leave the office, you can always call for clarification or review things with Dr. Trevor at your next visit.

Do I need to buy special equipment?

Most stretching and strengthening programs are body-weight only but if more is needed, inexpensive resistance bands would do the trick. If you do not happen to have any already, we have them available at our office. Home care that incorporates cervical or lumbar rolls or wedges or wobble discs will require a purchase, but they are all available at our office at a reasonable cost. Dr. Trevor will let you know what will be helpful for your specific situation.

What if I miss a day of home care?

Life happens! If you miss a day, simply resume your program the next day. Consistency matters more than perfection. Just get back on track as soon as you can.
