During the first phase, our goal is to learn as much about you and your symptoms as possible. Dr. Zaffarkhan will then conduct a physical examination consisting of Sensory, Orthopedic and Neurological exams. If deemed necessary, we will take X-Rays in our on-site lab to further understand your symptoms.
Phase 2 - Chiropractic Diagnosis
Once we have gathered all of your information we will begin the diagnosis by seeking out the origin of the problem. At Body Works we do not just treat your symptoms, we are focused on eliminating your problem completely. Many of your symptoms can be traced back to a subluxation or misalignment. The severity of the subluxation can vary and can be caused by factors that are physical, emotional, mental or even chemical and can be caused by any number of incidents. A vertebral subluxation is a misalignment of the bones that protect the spinal cord and may cause: Back & Neck Pain, Numbness, Joint Stiffness, Muscle Tingling, Muscle Tension, Stress, Spasms, Headaches, Disc Injuries, Arthritis, Shoulder Pain, Knee & Foot Pain, Sciatica, Bursitis.
Phase 3 - Chiropractic Treatment
The third phase in our approach is when your treatment begins. When a subluxation has occurred, Dr. Zaffarkhan will correct the misaligned bone and allow it to return to its proper position. In order to prevent the subluxation or misalignment from reoccurring several adjustments over time may be necessary in addition to massage therapy, physiotherapy, stretching exercises or strengthening exercises.
In addition to spinal adjustments, treatments may include
Physical Therapy Modalities
Ultrasound, Interferential current, High Volt Combination, Microcurrent.

Physiotherapy
To complement and enhance the effects of our chirporactic adjustment treatment, we at Body Works Health & Wellness also provide the following physiological therapeutic procedures.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy is known to help stimulate healing without irritation. The therapy uses high-frequency sound waves that produce a deep heat and can reduce pain to the affected tissues. It can also improve circulation, reduce inflammation and swelling, speed up your metabolism, break down or soften scar tissue and also enhance the body's natural healing process.
Interferential Electro-Therapy
This type of therapeutic treatment is often used to promote soft tissue healing and aid in the relief of pain. The purpose of this treatment is to prompt your body to release endorphins and other natural pain killers to help relieve pain.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a term that describes the application of ice compresses to reduce the temperature of tissues directly on or below the skin surface. Cold temperatures reduce nerve transmission of painful symptoms and is effective in reducing and preventing post-traumatic swelling.
Moist Heat Therapy
Moist heat therapy applied to the surface of the skin enlarges blood vessels below the surface, relaxing tissues and temporarily relieving painful symptoms. Increasing circulation and relaxing muscles is helpful before or after chiropractic adjustments, therapeutic exercises and other treatments.
Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional Counseling
What does nutrition have to do with chiropractic care? The goal of chiropractic care is to help patients achieve total health and balance with their body, and as part of that goal we provide specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices. Nutritional counseling by our experienced chiropractic health professionals can assist a patient on their return to optimal health. Do you know which supplements and vitamins are good for you? Do you know how these supplements and vitamins interact with one another? At our Chicago chiropractic clinic, we can provide each patient with a structured nutritional program that is based on their individual needs.
