1. What is an adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is given to re-align the spine and take pressure off the spinal cord and nerves. This will restore proper nerve supply to the body’s organs and allow normal body function. An optimum functioning spine equals optimum health.
2. How does an adjustment feel and how long will it take?
Most patients report that being adjusted feels great. However, in some cases the individual may be sore the first couple of times. An adjustment takes only a minute or two, but the vital nerve energy it releases can last for hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the stage of your care.
3. Is Chiropractic safe?
While 2,000 people die from aspirin this year and thousands more from surgery and drug reactions, chiropractic is safe. So safe that malpractice insurance for chiropractors costs a fraction of what other types of physicians pay.
4. What research has been done on Chiropractic?
Literally thousands of health studies, including research by the U.S. government, have shown that Chiropractic is beneficial in maximizing health, boosting immunity, relieving the symptoms of sickness and disease, and restoring normal function to the body.
5. Should I be adjusted if I am sick?
An adjustment will help your body regain control and balance to better fight off your condition.
6. Can I be adjusted if I have had an operation on my spine or have old, weak, brittle, or broken bones?
There are many very gentle techniques that can be employed to assure proper safety for newborns to the elderly.
7. Can I be adjusted if I am pregnant?
For normal development of the baby and ease and safety of the birth, being adjusted during pregnancy is not only safe, but essential.
8. Can I adjust myself?
Even chiropractors need chiropractors to adjust them. The worst spines are those of people who manipulate their own spines. Manipulation can even be dangerous. An adjustment moves a specific subluxation in a specific direction.
9. Do you accept insurance?
The real question behind “Do you accept insurance?” is, “Can I afford you?’ In our practice, the answer to both questions is a resounding YES! Our fees are lower than many insurance copays. Our plans are designed to suit any budget. We definitely have the plan that’s right for you.
10. Why don’t more chiropractors practice like you?
Most chiropractors don’t know this model of care even exists. Many chiropractors follow the management gurus who teach them the “Chiropractic Dance” of high fees and expensive care plans. I have simply found a way to deliver regular chiropractic care at affordable fees and help people reach a level of health through chiropractic that they haven't experienced before.
11. Should children & babies see a chiropractor?
Yes- having your babies and kids checked by a chiropractor is very important. The birthing process alone can be traumatic to the delicate newborn spine. In children, the rough and tumble years can cause misalignment and stress to accumulate in the spine. Chiropractic is completely safe for babies and kids. It doesn't make sense to allow your child to grow up with the same problems you are experiencing.
