They use evidence-based techniques and follow strict guidelines to provide safe and effective treatments.

What should I expect during a chiropractic appointment?
Your first chiropractic appointment typically includes a comprehensive evaluation. Your chiropractor will review your medical history, discuss your symptoms, and perform a physical examination. Diagnostic tests such as X-rays may be ordered if necessary. Based on the evaluation, your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan, which may include chiropractic adjustments, exercises, and lifestyle recommendations.
During chiropractic adjustments, you’ll lie on a specialized table, and your chiropractor will use manual techniques or specialized instruments to make precise spinal adjustments.
Will chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Many patients report feeling immediate relief and a sense of relaxation after an adjustment. You may hear a popping or cracking sound during the adjustment, which is normal and often associated with the release of gas from the joints. If you’re concerned about discomfort, be sure to communicate with your chiropractor, who can adjust the technique to your comfort level.
How many chiropractic sessions will I need?
The number of chiropractic sessions needed varies from person to person and depends on factors like the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your treatment goals. Your chiropractor will discuss your treatment plan with you, including the recommended frequency of visits, during your initial appointment. Many patients experience significant relief after just a few sessions, while others may require more extended care for chronic conditions.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe for pregnant women?
Chiropractic care, including the Webster Technique, is considered safe for pregnant women and can be beneficial throughout pregnancy. It helps maintain proper pelvic alignment, reduce discomfort, and improve overall well-being during pregnancy. However, it’s crucial to choose a chiropractor experienced in prenatal care to ensure the safety and comfort of both the mother and the baby.
Can chiropractic care be used alongside other medical treatments?
Yes, chiropractic care can complement other medical treatments and therapies. Many patients incorporate chiropractic care into their overall healthcare regimen to enhance their well-being. Chiropractors often work in collaboration with medical doctors, physical therapists, and other healthcare providers to ensure comprehensive care and coordination of treatment.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Chiropractic care is often covered by health insurance plans. However, coverage may vary depending on your specific insurance provider and policy.
