Frequently Asked Questions.
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractic care is a natural, drug-free approach to healthcare that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Chiropractors use manual spinal adjustments to help restore proper alignment, reduce pain, and improve overall function.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is considered safe when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. Spinal adjustments are non-invasive and generally well-tolerated. Your chiropractor will assess your health and determine the most appropriate treatment for your needs. As with any form of treatment, it's important to communicate with your chiropractor about any concerns or medical conditions you may have.
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most people experience little to no discomfort during chiropractic adjustments. You may feel a slight pressure or mild soreness afterward, especially if it’s your first adjustment. This is typically short-lived and should subside as your body adapts to the treatment. If you experience pain, let your chiropractor know so they can adjust the technique to suit your comfort level.
How often will I need to visit the chiropractor?
The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on your individual needs and treatment goals. Initially, you may need more frequent visits to address acute pain or misalignments. Over time, as your condition improves, the visits may become less frequent. Your chiropractor will guide you through your treatment plan and adjust the schedule as necessary.
How does chiropractic care work?
Chiropractors use spinal adjustments to correct misalignments (subluxations) in the spine. These misalignments can interfere with the nervous system, causing pain, discomfort, and other health issues. By realigning the spine, chiropractors help restore nerve function, reduce pain, and promote healing in the body.
Can children and seniors benefit from chiropractic care?
Yes! Chiropractic care can benefit people of all ages, from children to seniors. Chiropractors use gentle techniques tailored to a person’s age and condition. Children can benefit from chiropractic care to address issues like poor posture, growing pains, or sports injuries. Seniors can find relief from arthritis, joint pain, and mobility issues.
How long does it take to see results from chiropractic care?
The timeline for results can vary depending on the severity of your condition, your overall health, and how long you've been experiencing symptoms. Some people notice immediate relief after the first adjustment, while others may require multiple visits over weeks or months to see significant improvement. Your chiropractor will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan and monitor your progress.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
