Therapeutic Chiropractic FAQ

Preventative and wellness visits are a great way to maintain health, optimize athletic performance and reduce stress. Treatment plans for maintenance chiropractic are based on the individual’s needs, and frequencies of these treatments vary from once a week to once a quarter.  

An adjustment involves a very quick force applied to a joint at the end range of its motion. The pop or crack noise is the result of a pressure change within the joint capsule and is not necessary for a successful adjustment. The purpose of joint manipulation is to achieve better motion rather than to “re-align” the spine or joint. Joint manipulation causes a short-term change in the joint capsule and its surrounding tissues, which can provide pain relief and improved function. Because the benefits are relatively short-lived, using that small window of opportunity to implement movement and exercises leads to more long-term benefits. Movement is medicine, after all!

We have multiple tools for achieving this goal. Depending on your condition and preferences, we may use a quick manual adjustment, an activator, gentle joint mobilization, or even specific therapeutic exercises. If you prefer not to be adjusted or have hesitations, please let us know so that we can talk about your options.

Initial visits generally last about 60 minutes.

During your first exam, your practitioner will take a detailed health history. You may be asked a wide range of questions about your symptoms, digestion, exercise, sleep habits, emotional states, and anything that may offer insight into your health.

Once your chiropractor has gathered enough information, you’ll receive a comprehensive treatment plan. 

We recommend you wear loose fitting clothing to your appointment.  Please eat a little something prior to your treatment and hydrate (as always!).
