Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic is the branch of the healing arts that deals with structure and function.  Chiropractors have found that if there is pressure along the spine, irritating and interfering with a nerve, it will cause pain (function).  It is highly probable that it will affect muscles, joints, blood vessels and even organs and glands (structure).

It is the chiropractor’s job to determine if such a problem exists and if it can be relieved.  Advanced technology and extensive diagnostic training assure the chiropractic physician – and you – that the findings are valid and the prognosis reliable.

How Long Will I Need Chiropractic?

There are 3 types of care in Chiropractic : Initial care to remove symptoms; Corrective care to correct the cause of the underlying muscle weakness, soft tissue damage, and degenerative changes, and Wellness care. Similar to brushing teeth, tuning up your car, or regularly visiting a dentist, wellness care is important for maintaining optimal health, saving money, and enjoying a healthy lifestyle. How long you decide to benefit from Chiropractic is always up to you.

Need a Referral to Visit a Chiropractor?

Absolutely not! A Doctor of Chiropractic is a primary contact physician. This means you do not need a referral. If yours is not a Chiropractic case, a responsible Chiropractor will refer you to the appropriate health care provider.
