Treatment goals depend upon the problems being addressed. If you have a chronic illness, such as an autoimmune disease, the overall goal of treatment is to minimize the frequency, duration, and intensity of flare-ups of your disease. The aim is to reduce the disease activity as much as possible, so that you are as minimally affected by it as possible. This is done through a combination of treatment, instructions for modification of diet, nutrition, and neurological home exercises, and other factors.

In most cases, the immediate goal of treatment is relief of your symptoms. The overall goal, when possible, is to restore your body to full function, so that you are genuinely free of the problem you began with. In cases involving chronic disease, the goal is to support and optimize your health, strength, and ability to function, to improve your overall outcome. In all cases, these goals are achieved through a detailed, thorough, and accurate diagnostic process, and the application of treatments according to your specific, unique needs.
