What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a type of healthcare that focuses on the spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal disorders. Chiropractors take many different approaches to treating patients, from therapeutic exercises to lifestyle and nutrition changes. In short, chiropractic care aims to improve how your spine and joints move, which may help ease pain and stiffness.

Which Conditions do Chiropractors Address?

Chiropractic care is often associated with back pain. While it certainly offers relief for patients struggling with back pain, this set of treatments is useful for a wide range of conditions. In addition to back pain, patients come to us for help with the following:

  • Neck pain & Low Back Pain
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • Carpal Tunnel Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Shoulder pain
  • TMJ (jaw) pain
  • Posture-related strain
  • Sprains & Strains
  • Arthritis
  • Whiplash & Auto Related Injuries
  • Limited mobility in the back, neck, or limbs
  • Muscle, ligament, and joint disorders

How Is Chiropractic Care Different From Other Treatments?

Chiropractic care is one of several options used to address chronic pain and similar conditions. However, many other treatment methods use invasive techniques that require lots of doctor’s visits and recovery time. Chiropractic services, in contrast, are a conservative form of care. That means we don’t use surgical procedures or prescribe medication to alleviate pain. Our professionals take an individualized approach to each patient to bring them the care they deserve.

Is Chiropractic Corrective Care Safe?

This is one of the first questions we get from many of our patients. We’ll make sure you understand the potential challenges of each treatment, as well as the numerous benefits. Despite the occasional noise, chiropractic care is generally well tolerated for many musculoskeletal conditions, and any side effects are usually mild and short-lived. Our team works closely with each patient to learn about their concerns and create a tailored, safe treatment plan. We’ll make sure you understand the potential risks of each treatment, as well as the numerous benefits. It’s normal to experience these symptoms after a session with the chiropractor:

  • Mild soreness
  • Aches
  • Stiffness

Can Children Go to the Chiropractor?

Many children can benefit from gentle chiropractic care. Active kids, less active kids and those recovering from an injury are common reasons families visit. Your pediatrician should check any illness first. Talk to our team if your child is dealing with:

  • Fall injuries
  • Sprains & Strains from activities of daily living
  • Sports injuries
  • Back soreness or stiffness
  • Posture concerns
  • Backpack-related aches
  • Neck or back pain after sports

Can I See a Chiropractor While Pregnant?

Pregnant people are welcome to take advantage of our chiropractic services. In fact, pregnancy is a common reason to seek chiropractic treatment since it results in lots of pain and stress on the body. We’ll create a gentle treatment plan around your comfort and your stage of pregnancy. Please check with your OB or midwife first.

Will I Need Multiple Treatments?

By its nature, chiropractic care is ongoing. The number of appointments you’ll need to address your back or neck pain will depend on your unique circumstances. If you’re recovering from an injury, you may need more treatments in a short period of time. On the other hand, if you deal with chronic pain, long-term treatments spaced out over weeks or months may be best. After consulting with our chiropractors, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect from your treatment plan.
