Believe it or not, it is very likely that your chiropractor has more education than your family physician. There are many similarities to the medical and chiropractic curriculum, but chiropractors can focus more on anatomy, physiology, diagnosis, and radiology because they do not prescribe medications or perform surgeries. After receiving a bachelor’s degree and a graduate from grad school as a Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.), chiropractors must pass four national board exams to practice. After passing the board exams, chiropractors must apply for their license in the state in which they want to practice and often must take a state board exam. After completing the rigorous process, chiropractors are required to have yearly continuing education to keep their license.

Absolutely! We offer a variety of services beyond chiropractic adjustments to meet your individual health and wellness needs. Whether you're interested in nutritional counseling, rehabilitative therapy, massage therapy, or any of the other services we provide, you can easily schedule an appointment tailored to your specific goals. An adjustment does not have to be part of your visit if that is not your objective. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care that aligns with your preferences and needs.

An adjustment involves a chiropractor using their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal is to correct structural alignment and improve your body's physical function. This non-invasive technique not only alleviates pain but also enhances your body's ability to heal itself.

Since every body is different and responds differently to treatments, it can be different for everyone. Our goal is to address the problem, treat the root cause, teach you tools to maintain optimal health and performance on your own, and re-evaluate for a maintenance/wellness treatment plan.

No. Since no two bodies are the same, no two people are adjusted the same.

Absolutely! We understand that surgery isn't always the magic bullet it's often made out to be. In fact, statistics show that surgical interventions for conditions like back pain have surprisingly low success rates. The good news is that even if you have had surgery, chiropractic care can still be highly beneficial for you! We are skilled in providing gentle, tailored adjustments that accommodate post-surgical conditions, helping to improve your overall function and reduce any lingering pain.

It is a good rule of thumb that the longer the problem has been there, the longer it is going to take to recover. There are also many variable to consider such as age, medical history, pre-existing conditions, etc. which can impact your rate of healing. Children do heal quicker, so it is always good to start care as early as possible. Lifestyle also plays a crucial role in how quickly and effectively your body can heal.

We understand that the sound of cracking may be concerning for some patients that are unfamiliar with it. Our chiropractors are skilled in using gentle and effective techniques that don't involve the traditional 'cracking' associated with neck adjustments. One such method is with the use of an Activator, where a small, hand-held instrument delivers a controlled, low-force impulse to specific points along the neck. This method realigns vertebrae without the need for high-velocity movements. Another approach is mobilization, which involves slow, rhythmic movements to the joints, promoting proper alignment and alleviating tension without any audible cracking. These methods ensure that patients receive the benefits of chiropractic care—such as pain relief and improved range of motion—without discomfort.

Pediatric chiropractic care is safe and beneficial when performed by trained chiropractors. Children's flexible musculoskeletal systems allow for gentle, age-appropriate techniques, ensuring no stress or discomfort. Chiropractic care corrects spinal alignments, supports the nervous system, and helps with issues like colic, sleep disturbances, and ear infections. Regular visits improve posture and physical function, promoting a healthy life.

Yes, chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for pregnant individuals. We use techniques designed for pregnant individuals, ensuring safety and effectiveness. Chiropractic care can help alleviate back pain, pelvic discomfort, and sciatica, which often occur during pregnancy due to the growing baby and changes in posture. By realigning the spine and pelvis, chiropractic adjustments improve comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Proper alignment through regular adjustments can improve the birthing process by creating more room for the baby, aiding in optimal fetal positioning, and potentially reducing labor duration and discomfort. Chiropractic care also enhances mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety during pregnancy, supporting a healthier, more comfortable journey.

Chiropractic care is recognized as one of the safest drug-free and non-invasive forms of treatment for several reasons.

The efficacy and safety of chiropractic treatments have been well-documented in numerous studies, highlighting their potential to alleviate pain and improve function with minimal risk of adverse effects. Finally, chiropractic care emphasizes a holistic approach to health, promoting lifestyle changes and exercises that can complement the adjustments.
