Question 1

Is going to a chiropractor one time worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes, going to a chiropractor for one visit can be beneficial in improving and correcting the problem that's causing discomfort. While some issues may require multiple appointments, any treatment from a chiropractor is better than no treatment.

Question 2

What does a chiropractor do?

Accepted Answer

A chiropractor diagnoses and treats neuromuscular issues such as neck, shoulder, back pain, headaches, and more. Unlike surgical procedures or medication, chiropractors focus on correcting the underlying problem to alleviate pain and improve overall function.

Question 3

How often should you see a chiropractor?

Accepted Answer

The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on the specific issue being addressed. For acute problems, frequent visits may be necessary to stabilize and improve the patient's condition. Once the joint is corrected and the patient is doing well, periodic check-ups may be recommended to prevent further issues or manage chronic conditions.

Question 4

Is massage or chiropractor better for back pain?

Accepted Answer

If a joint is not functioning correctly, chiropractic treatment is essential to correct the alignment and alleviate pain. If it's just muscle strain or discomfort, massage therapy can help relax the tissue, but it's necessary to consult a chiropractor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendation.

Question 5

Does insurance cover chiropractic visits?

Accepted Answer

Coverage varies depending on individual policies. Our office manager will check your insurance coverage and inform you about what is covered and what you would be responsible for. While most insurance does cover chiropractic visits, some policies do not.

Question 6

Once I go to a chiropractor, will I always have to go?

Accepted Answer

No, it depends on the issue. If it's a chronic problem that requires ongoing treatment, it may be recommended to continue as necessary. However, if a joint issue is resolved and functioning correctly again, further visits may not be needed. Maintenance treatments are only recommended for specific chronic situations.

Question 7

What should I expect at my appointment?

Accepted Answer

We will conduct an initial consultation during your appointment to gather information about your problem and symptoms. We will then perform a thorough orthopedic, neurological, and chiropractic examination, which may include diagnostic imaging like X-rays. We will explain your condition, show you the X-rays, point out the problem areas, and provide a comprehensive treatment plan to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.
