Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
Most patients do not need a referral. Some insurance plans require one, so check with your provider before your visit.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic care is generally considered a safe, non-invasive option for many musculoskeletal conditions. We perform a thorough evaluation before recommending treatment.
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most patients find adjustments comfortable. You may feel pressure or hear a popping sound, and mild temporary soreness can occur.
What should I expect at my first visit?
Your first visit includes paperwork, a health history discussion, an examination, X-rays if needed, and a review of your findings and care plan.
Can I fill out my paperwork before my appointment?
Yes. You can download and print the new patient form from our online forms page and bring it with you.
Will I need X-rays?
X-rays are often used to get a clear look at the spine, but they are not always necessary. They are typically taken for new patients or when a condition changes.
How many visits will I need?
The number of visits depends on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, and your goals. Your chiropractor will recommend a plan after your evaluation.
Do you accept insurance?
Yes. We welcome insurance and will help you get the most from your benefits. We also accept cash, checks, debit cards, and most major credit cards.
Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident?
Yes. Many accident injuries, including whiplash, do not cause symptoms right away. An early evaluation can help identify injuries before they worsen.
Do you offer massage therapy?
Yes. Therapeutic massage is available and is often combined with chiropractic adjustments and rehabilitation.
Can chiropractic care help sports injuries?
Yes. We treat strains, sprains, and overuse injuries and help athletes return to activity safely.
Do I have to be in pain to see a chiropractor?
No. Many patients use chiropractic wellness care to maintain mobility, posture, and overall musculoskeletal health.
What is wellness care?
Wellness care is maintenance treatment after your body has healed, typically a quick visit one to four times per month based on your lifestyle and goals.
