Frequently Asked Questions
Even with our commitment to informed consent and patient education, we get questions! Here are some of the more common and their answers.
“What is Chiropractic?”
Chiropractic is based on the philosophy the the body is self-regulating and self-healing. The chiropractic approach addresses the relationship between the spine and the nervous system: the master controller of the body. The chiropractic adjustment is a holistic, non-invasive approach that allows for the body to unlock this self-healing potential.
“Isn’t Chiropractic just for back pain?”
Chiropractic treatment is best known for treatment of back pain, neck pain, and other related injuries. However, not only are chiropractic adjustments able to treat a large number of other musculoskeletal conditions and injuries, they can also improve communications between other body systems, such as the digestive and endocrine systems, to support overall health. Chiropractic helps to address migraines, carpal tunnel syndrome, muscle and joint pain, poor posture and more.
“What’s that clicker thing do?”
It’s called an Integrator. It was designed to deliver a controlled and reproducible thrust at the right time and place without you having to move. As you lie face down on the table, you’ll feel a gentle tap to your spine.
Because the Integrator delivers the necessary energy at a mere 1/10000 of a second, you hardly feel it. The Integrator Adjusting Instrument is an easy, painless way to get adjusted.
“What if you can’t help me?”
An understandable question since many of our patients have usually tried other approaches without success. And while we don’t produce 100% results, most patients see improvement. Some very quickly. Naturally, if we are unable to help you, we’ll refer you to someone who we think can. From time-to-time we refer to other licensed professionals as necessary. Your health and well-being is our primary objective.
