When did patients in the research clinic go to rehab?

After they were holding their adjustment Before treatment During treatment At discharge

Correct Answer:

After they were holding their adjustment

Explanation:

The timing hinges on establishing a stable correction before adding rehab. In this approach, rehab starts only after the adjustment has held—that is, once the spine maintains its corrected alignment between visits and the patient’s symptoms are stabilized. This creates a solid base to safely progress with strengthening, flexibility, and proprioception work. Starting rehab before the adjustment holds or during treatment could jeopardize the stability achieved by the adjustment, and waiting until discharge would miss the chance to build function while the patient is still in care. So rehab after the adjustments have held best fits the sequence and goals of the care plan.
