Do you take insurance?

No we do not take insurance directly but we can give you a “super bill” which is a form you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

What is a subluxation and can I tell if I have one?

A subluxation is a misalignment in a joint in your body. We can sometimes tell we have a subluxation because of pain or restricted movements. restrictions. However, we can have subluxations without realizing it. A subluxation is like a dental cavity—you may have it for a long time before symptoms appear. That's why periodic spinal checkups or “body tuneups” are so important. Chiropractic care promotes good health from the inside out.

Are all people adjusted the same way?

No. The doctor evaluates each patient's unique spinal problem and develops an individual treatment plan. Each patient's care is uniquely different from every other patient.

Can I adjust myself?

No. Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific direction to a specific joint, it is virtually impossible to adjust oneself safely, correctly and accurately. It is possible to turn or twist in certain ways to create a "popping" sound, but that is not a specific chiropractic adjustment correcting a subluxation. These general “cracks” we do to ourselves can overstretch ligaments and create an unstable spine in the long run. Stick to a chiropractor to get adjusted.

Do children need chiropractic care?

Yes. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for vertebral subluxation. Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are adapted for the child's spine. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off can be traced to the spine. Health problems that emerge in adulthood could often be prevented by having your children's spine checked by a chiropractor early on. Many parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and are healthier than their peers.

Is it true that chiropractic care can help with more than just getting out of pain?

Yes. Getting adjusted has many wellness benefits including improved sleep, improved digestion, decreased headaches/migraines, injury prevention, regulating hormones. Adjustments can also help with ear infections, allergies, asthma, and stress.

What causes the sound during an adjustment?

Adjustments do not always produce a sound. However, when they do, the sounds is caused by gas that is releasing pressure as a result of the adjustment. This sound is painless and harmless.
