Chiropractic Care FAQs

What conditions do chiropractors treat?

Our chiropractors can help with a variety of musculoskeletal problems, including back and neck pain, sciatica, arthritis, headaches, sports injuries, pregnancy-related pain, TMJ dysfunction, carpal tunnel syndrome, and more. We focus on issues related to the spine, joints, and nerves.

How does chiropractic care work?

Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between your spine and the nervous system. Misalignments in your spine can interfere with proper nerve communication. Adjustments realign your spine to take pressure off nerves, restoring function.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

When performed by a licensed chiropractor, adjustments are extremely safe. Most patients feel little discomfort, at most some temporary soreness. Serious complications are very rare. Our doctors take every precaution for your safety.

When will I start to feel better?

Some patients experience immediate pain relief and improved mobility after their first adjustment. More significant, lasting benefits tend to occur gradually over multiple visits. Let your chiropractor know how symptoms change.

What happens during a chiropractic appointment?

Appointments start with a consultation to help you identify your worries. You’ll then receive a tailored adjustment using gentle techniques. Your chiropractor may also recommend exercises, stretching, or soft tissue work.

How many appointments will I need?

The number of visits depends on your condition. For chronic issues, we typically recommend starting with 2-3 visits per week for 4-6 weeks. Some patients may only need a few sessions; others may choose ongoing maintenance care.

Can chiropractic help issues besides back pain?

Yes, chiropractic care focuses on your overall health by optimizing nervous system function. It can help issues ranging from joint pain to ear infections and even immune function, digestion, and headache relief.

Should I see a chiropractor before my medical doctor?

We suggest you see your medical doctor first to make sure you know of any underlying conditions. Chiropractic care complements medical treatment well, so work with both providers for comprehensive care.

TRT is a gentle, non-invasive chiropractic method that uses a handheld device called the Integrator to correct spinal misalignments and improve nervous system function without cracking or twisting. Learn more specific details on our technique page.

How does TRT work?

The Integrator applies precise, light force to targeted spine areas, releasing muscle tension and realigning joints. This restores proper communication between the nerves and the brain.

What conditions does TRT help?

TRT can relieve back/neck pain, headaches, neuropathy, sciatica, injuries, prenatal discomfort, pediatric issues, poor posture, anxiety, fibromyalgia, and more.

What happens in a TRT session?

Your chiropractor will perform an exam to identify areas of tension, then gently adjust those spots using the Integrator tool while you lay face-down. Sessions take 5-10 minutes.
