Frequently Asked Questions
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a conservative and holistic approach to treating the spine, nervous system, and surrounding muscles. Our doctors conduct thorough evaluations to diagnose the source of pain and develop personalized treatment plans. Typical treatments include manual spinal manipulation, therapeutic exercises, and physiotherapy to reduce pain and improve function.
Are chiropractors doctors?
Yes, our chiropractors hold Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from accredited institutions and have passed national and state licensing exams. They continually update their training to provide the most effective care. While they are not medical doctors and do not prescribe medications, they are licensed healthcare professionals specialized in spinal health.
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Our clinics specialize in injuries commonly resulting from auto accidents, including:
- Whiplash
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- TMJ disorders
- Migraines and headaches
- Muscle spasms
- Limb weakness

We focus on reducing pain, restoring mobility, and improving quality of life.
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a precise manual technique used to realign joints—especially in the spine—that are restricted or misaligned. These adjustments relieve pressure on nerves, decrease inflammation, and help restore proper motion and function.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Yes. When performed by trained, licensed chiropractors, adjustments are safe and effective. Our experienced doctors ensure every treatment is carefully tailored to your condition, minimizing risk and maximizing benefit.
Is chiropractic treatment permanent?
The permanence of results depends on the injury. Many patients experience immediate relief, but complete recovery often requires multiple sessions. Some chronic conditions may require ongoing care to maintain benefits.
Are all patients treated the same way?
No. We customize treatment techniques based on your unique condition. Techniques may include:
- Direct thrust
- Articulatory methods
- Functional approaches
- Isometric techniques
- Indirect positional methods
- Myofascial release
Your care plan will evolve with your progress.
What does a chiropractic adjustment feel like? Does it hurt?
Adjustments generally cause little or no pain. You might feel pressure, slight tension, or hear gentle popping sounds as joints realign. Post-treatment, mild soreness or lightheadedness is normal and usually short-lived. Most patients leave feeling relaxed with reduced pain and improved mobility.
When should I get a chiropractic adjustment?
If you've experienced trauma, such as a car accident, or suffer from persistent back or neck pain, an evaluation may reveal spinal misalignment that can benefit from adjustments. Even minor collisions can cause issues that chiropractic care effectively addresses.
How often will I need adjustments?
Frequency depends on your injury severity and individual response to treatment. Our doctors will recommend a personalized schedule designed to maximize recovery without unnecessary visits.
What are the benefits of chiropractic adjustments?
Adjustments may help you:
- Reduce pain and muscle tension
- Decrease headaches and mental fog
- Increase range of motion and energy
- Recover faster from injuries
Can children benefit from chiropractic care?
Yes, children often experience spinal trauma from birth or physical activities. Our gentle techniques help pediatric patients with back and neck issues, promoting overall health and wellbeing.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Absolutely. Specialized chiropractic care can alleviate pregnancy-related discomfort and support proper nerve function. Our doctors use pregnancy-safe techniques tailored to each trimester and help with optimal fetal positioning.
How long does chiropractic treatment last?
Treatment duration varies. While multiple sessions are common, your care plan will be designed to minimize visits and include self-care techniques for at-home pain management.
