Brief overview
Maintenance Care
Maintenance care is optional periodic care for patients who have completed a corrective or acute-care phase and want to continue supporting their musculoskeletal health over time.
Maintenance care is an individualized approach for patients who choose periodic musculoskeletal care after completing an initial phase of treatment. It should be presented as optional and based on the patient's goals, history, response, and preferences.
Common causes
What may be driving it.
- Ordinary demands of daily life on the body
- Occupational and postural loading
- Cumulative training or activity stress

Every plan is individualized. A thorough consultation and evaluation is the foundation of appropriate care — or a referral, if that is the right next step.
