  • What can chiropractic treatment help alleviate?

    Chiropractic treatment primarily addresses issues related to the musculoskeletal system. This can include:


    • Back pain
    • Neck pain
    • Headaches
    • Joint problems

    Chiropractic care also focuses on nervous system concerns that may result from spinal misalignments. Through various techniques, chiropractors strive to enhance overall health and wellness by promoting proper body alignment and function.

  • Is chiropractic care safe?

    Chiropractic care is generally considered a safe treatment option when performed by a licensed and trained professional. The risk of serious complications is minimal. However, as with any medical procedure, minor side effects such as temporary soreness or discomfort may occur. It's essential to discuss any concerns with your chiropractor before beginning treatment.

  • How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?

    A typical chiropractic adjustment session lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. The duration may vary based on the specific treatment plan and the complexity of the patient's condition. Initial consultations and examinations often require more time. They may take between 45 minutes and an hour.

  • How often should I see a chiropractor?

    The frequency of chiropractic visits is determined by your individual needs and condition. Initially, more frequent visits may be necessary, potentially two or three times per week. As your condition improves, visits may be reduced to once a week or less. Your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific situation and health goals.

  • Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

    In most situations, a referral is not required to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are considered primary care providers in many states, allowing patients to schedule appointments directly. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. It's advisable to consult with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements.
