FAQs
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is a safe and natural approach to health. I use gentle, non-invasive techniques that aim to restore balance and function in the body. Taking your health history into account, adjustments are modified as needed to ensure your safety and comfort.
What should I expect during my first visit?
On your first visit, I will conduct a thorough consultation to understand your health history, concerns, and wellness goals. You will also undergo an assessment to evaluate the function of your nervous system. Based on this information, together we will develop a personalized care plan that aligns with your needs and goals.
Does chiropractic care hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are typically gentle and tailored to your comfort level. Some people feel immediate relief after an adjustment, while others may experience mild soreness as their body adjusts. This is normal and should subside quickly. I aim to ensure your treatment is comfortable and effective.
How do I know if chiropractic care is right for me?
Chiropractic care is for anyone looking to improve their health and well-being. If you're dealing with chronic pain, stress, or seeking proactive care to optimize your body’s potential, chiropractic could be a great fit. During your initial consultation, we’ll assess whether chiropractic care is the right choice for you. If not, I will help guide you to a different medical professional who is best suited for you.
Is chiropractic care beneficial and safe for pregnant women?
Yes, chiropractic care is both safe and highly beneficial for pregnant women. Chiropractic care, particularly the Webster Technique, helps pregnant women by balancing the pelvis and reducing nervous system tension, allowing the body to better adapt to the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy. This can help relieve common pregnancy discomforts such as back pain, sciatica, and pelvic pressure while promoting overall well-being. By improving nervous system function, chiropractic care also promotes better mobility, stability, and resilience throughout pregnancy.
Should my kids get checked as well?
From birth and beyond, children experience physical stresses that may impact their spinal alignment and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments for kids are gentle and tailored to their age, size, and developmental stage. Regular check-ups can support proper growth, improve sleep, boost immunity, and help with common issues like colic, ear infections, reflux, and feeding difficulties. A regulated nervous system sets the foundation for a healthy life.
Is chiropractic for more than just aches and pains?
While many people initially visit a chiropractor for relief from back or neck pain, chiropractic care is about much more than just symptom management. It focuses on optimizing the function of the nervous system, which is the control center for all the systems of the body. Chiropractic care enhances overall health, boosts energy levels, improves sleep, strengthens the immune system, and even supports mental clarity. It’s a proactive approach to whole-body wellness.
