No, this isn’t true. Just like going to the Dentist, your spinal health is YOUR CHOICE. It’s a good idea to maintain the health of your spine, just like your teeth. We will never recommend more care than is needed or wanted.
This is a common misconception. The truth of the matter is – its not bones that you’re hearing “pop” or “crack.” The sound you’re hearing is actually gas bubbles popping when you move a stuck joint. When a joint becomes restricted, nitrogen gas bubbles build up within that joint. When the joint is moved those bubbles pop or release.
Adjustments should never hurt. They may feel weird or uncomfortable, but it shouldn’t be a painful experience. Chiropractic adjustments are very gentle, specific and rely on speed rather than force.
Yes, Chiropractors are real Doctors! Instead of focusing on medicine, their training is specific to the spine and nervous system.
If this is the case we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare practitioner.
Chiropractic care has been proven to be safe and effective for children of all ages. Our spinal health should be maintained from birth. It’s easier to prevent a problem from happening than it is to fix the problem later on.
Not only is it possible for you to get adjusted, it is beneficial and, in some cases, necessary for a woman to get adjusted during pregnancy. Women that have been adjusted throughout their pregnancies have been shown to have easier and less painful deliveries.
Most insurance policies cover Chiropractic Care. Each individual insurance policy may be different, which is why we provide complimentary insurance verification as part of every new patient appointment. We will go over your individual policy with you so that you understand exactly how it can contribute to your care.
We will work with you to come up with an affordable payment option that best suits your needs.
