Q:  What is corrective care?

A:  Corrective care takes many things into consideration.  First, a proper exam and diagnosis will allow the doctors to decrease a patients pain while addressing the cause.  Second, it is important to not just treat symptoms but ensure initial treatment is followed through with rehabilitation and nutritional advice to keep a patient healthy.
