Most Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor is a healthcare professional specializing in the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on treatment through manual and instrument adjustment or manipulation of the spine and joints. They aim to improve functionality, reduce pain in patients, and educate them on how to account for their health via exercise, ergonomics, and other therapies.
What conditions can chiropractic care help with?
Chiropractic care can help with a variety of conditions related to the spine, joints, and nervous system. It is commonly used to treat neck pain, back pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, whiplash injuries (especially after car accidents), joint pain in areas like the shoulders, hips, and knees, as well as poor posture, chronic muscle tension, and repetitive strain injuries. Many patients also benefit from chiropractic care for sports injuries and overall mobility issues. With techniques like adjustments, shockwave therapy, laser, and custom orthotics, chiropractic treatment supports natural healing and long-term relief without relying on medication or surgery.
How long does a chiropractic appointment typically last?
Your initial visit usually takes about 30 minutes, as it includes a full assessment and personalized treatment plan. Follow-up appointments are shorter and typically last between 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your needs and treatment progress.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need?
The number of sessions you’ll need depends on your condition, lifestyle, and how your body responds to care. After your initial visit, the chiropractor will perform a complete assessment and then recommend a personalized care plan. We typically schedule a follow-up “Results & Recommendations” session after your first visit to review findings and outline the next steps in your recovery.
How do orthotics work and who can benefit from them?
Orthotics are devices inserted into shoes to correct an abnormal or irregular walking pattern. They work by slightly altering the angles at which the foot strikes a walking or running surface. They can benefit individuals with foot, knee, hip, or back pain. This includes people with flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, or standing or walking on hard surfaces for long periods.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are generally very safe when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. They are non-invasive, drug-free, and focused on helping your body heal naturally. Most patients feel relief after an adjustment, and serious side effects are extremely rare. Before starting care, your chiropractor will assess your condition and explain everything to ensure you feel comfortable and informed.
What is shockwave therapy and what conditions can it treat?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve mobility. It’s especially effective for chronic conditions that haven’t responded well to other treatments. We commonly use shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, shoulder tendinitis, hip pain, shin splints, calcific tendinitis, and stubborn muscle tightness. Most patients notice improved movement and reduced pain after just a few sessions.
Does laser therapy hurt?
No, laser therapy is completely painless. Most patients feel a gentle warmth or slight tingling during treatment, but it’s comfortable and non-invasive. There are no needles, no downtime, and no side effects — just targeted healing to reduce pain, inflammation, and speed up recovery.
How often should I see a chiropractor?
How often you should see a chiropractor depends on your specific condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients come in just a few times for relief, while others benefit from regular visits to maintain long-term health and prevent future issues. After your initial assessment, the chiropractor will recommend a care plan tailored to your needs, and adjust the frequency based on your progress.
