FAQs
What conditions do Chiropractors treat?
Chiropractors commonly address musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint dysfunction, and posture-related concerns. Many also support wellness goals, injury recovery, and nervous system function.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe when performed by a licensed professional. Techniques are tailored to the patient’s age, condition, and health history. Chiropractors conduct thorough assessments to ensure appropriate care.
What happens during a
chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractor uses controlled force to restore joint mobility, reduce pain, and improve function. Patients may hear a “pop” or “crack”, which is gas releasing from the joint- this is normal and not harmful.
How many sessions will I need?
Treatment plans vary based on the condition, severity, and patient goals. Some patients feel relief after a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing care for chronic issues or wellness maintenance.
Do I need a referral from a medical doctor?
In most cases, no referral is needed to see a chiropractor. Patients can schedule directly. However, some insurance plans or health care systems may require a referral for coverage.
