About Chiropractic Care
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion to your joints and improving nervous system function. It’s a natural, hands-on approach to pain relief and better mobility, without drugs or surgery.
How do chiropractic adjustments work?
When joints don’t move well, they can cause pain, inflammation, and nerve irritation. Gentle chiropractic adjustments help restore normal motion and allow your body to heal more effectively.
What is an adjustment?
An adjustment is a gentle, targeted movement applied to a joint. It helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and support your body’s natural healing processes.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is very safe when provided by a licensed chiropractor. We tailor each treatment based on your age, comfort level, and health history.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat common conditions like back pain, neck pain, herniated disc, sciatica, tension headaches, posture issues, and joint pain. We also care for patients after auto accidents.
Your First Visit
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit includes a detailed consultation, exam, any necessary X-rays, and your first treatment if deemed safe. We’ll explain what’s causing your symptoms and recommend a plan that fits your goals.
Will I get adjusted on my first visit?
Often, yes. If imaging or further evaluation is needed, we’ll schedule your adjustment for a follow-up.
What should I wear?
Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing is best. We want you to move freely during your exam and treatment.
Do I need X-rays?
Only if they’re clinically necessary. We use them to evaluate alignment, injury, or areas that need extra caution during treatment.
How long will it take?
Your first visit typically lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour and 20 minutes, depending on the testing and treatment needed. Follow-up visits generally range from 10 to 45 minutes, based on your individualized treatment plan.
Conditions We Treat
Can you help with back or neck pain?
Yes. Chiropractic care is highly effective for spinal pain caused by joint restrictions, poor posture, or repetitive strain.
Can chiropractic help with sciatica?
Yes. Adjustments relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve, helping reduce pain and improve mobility.
Do you treat posture problems and tech neck?
Yes. We help correct posture issues caused by long hours at desks, phones, or computers which is commonly called “tech neck.” Poor posture can lead to tension, stiffness, headaches, and long-term spinal stress.
Can chiropractic help with headaches or migraines?
Yes. Many headaches start from tension or misalignment in the neck. Chiropractic care can help reduce frequency and intensity.
Do you treat auto accident injuries?
Yes. We offer post-accident care, including treating whiplash, back pain, and joint injuries. Early treatment can prevent chronic issues.
Safety & Specialties
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We accept many major insurance plans. We’re happy to verify your benefits before treatment.
Is chiropractic covered by insurance?
Most plans include some level of chiropractic coverage. We’ll check your specific policy and explain your options.
Do I need a referral?
No referral is needed. Chiropractors are primary-access providers, so you can book directly.
Do you offer same day appointments?
Yes, based on availability. Call us or book online to check open times.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition, goals, and how long the issue has been present. Some patients feel better in just a few visits, others choose periodic wellness care.
