Frequently Asked Questions

Your first visit will include a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your health history, current concerns, and goals. We'll perform a thorough examination, which may include posture analysis, range of motion tests, and neurological assessments. Based on our findings, we'll explain our diagnosis and recommended treatment plan. Many patients receive their first adjustment on the same day.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. You may hear a popping sound during an adjustment, which is simply the release of gas from the joint - similar to cracking your knuckles. Some patients experience mild soreness after their first few adjustments, similar to how you might feel after starting a new exercise routine. This typically resolves within 24-48 hours.

The number of visits varies depending on your condition, its severity, and how long you've had it. Acute conditions may resolve in a few visits, while chronic issues may require ongoing care. After your initial evaluation, we'll provide a personalized treatment plan with an estimated number of visits. We always aim for the most efficient path to lasting results.

No, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are primary care providers, which means you can schedule an appointment directly without needing a referral from another doctor. However, we're happy to coordinate with your other healthcare providers if needed.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for movement. Bring any relevant medical records, imaging results (X-rays, MRIs), and a list of current medications. If you have insurance, bring your insurance card. Arrive a few minutes early to complete any necessary paperwork.

The popping or cracking sound you may hear during an adjustment is called a cavitation. It's caused by the release of gas (primarily nitrogen) from the fluid surrounding your joints. This is completely harmless and doesn't indicate anything is breaking or being damaged. Not all adjustments produce this sound, and its presence or absence doesn't affect the effectiveness of the treatment.
