Do I have to be a patient forever?
This is a question often asked of chiropractors, because many of our patients come to us for years, but the answer is NO. You are free to use our services as you see fit. Some conditions have longer visit requirements, but in most cases we can have you feeling better in weeks. Just remember, even though the symptom may be gone, the underlying cause could still be there.
Can a person who has had back surgery see a chiropractor?
Yes. It's an unfortunate fact that up to half of those who have had spinal surgery discover a return of their original symptoms months or years later. They then face the prospect of additional surgery. Chiropractic care may help prevent repeated back surgeries. In fact, if chiropractic care is initially utilized, back surgery can often be avoided in the first place.
Will my insurance cover chiropractic services?
Yes, most insurance policies have chiropractic coverage. We will check this for you! Nothing in our office is charged to you until WE know, and YOU know what cost is involved.
Should I see a chiropractor after an accident?
If you are involved in an automobile accident or other type of accident that causes immediate pain or immobility, see a medical doctor or visit the ER first, for appropriate imaging and documentation. Try to visit us within 5 days of the accident for relief. If the only care you are getting is painkillers, hotpacks and massage, you are missing an important and necessary part of getting well.
Is it ok to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?
YES! Pregnant mothers find that chiropractic adjustments reduce pain, improve their pregnancy, and often make delivery easier for themselves and their baby. Our adjusting methods are always adapted to a patient's size, weight, age, and condition of health.
Can chiropractic care help an athlete?
