In most cases there is no pain with chiropractic treatment. When there is a lot of swelling, inflammation, and muscle spasms around the involved joint, the treatment may seem uncomfortable. However, the chiropractic treatment is designed to remove this swelling and inflammation resulting in pain relief.
Chiropractic treatment is safe for everyone because we can perform a complete orthopedic and neurological exam before treating you. We would not treat you if we didn’t believe chiropractic care was safe for you. During our detailed exam we review your specific health history as well. If there are any indications that you need to seek medical attention we would refer you to the proper health care provider for co-management of your care.
On your first visit we will perform a detailed health history. This is followed by a complete orthopedic and neurological exam. From here we determine if any further diagnostic studies will be required such as x-rays, M.R.I.’s or other diagnostic tests. If such tests are not required then we will review the cause of your health problem and give you specific treatment and recommendations.
Some people do come to the chiropractor when they are feeling fine. This is done out of prevention for future health problems, even though not all health problems can be prevented. Proper maintenance and care of your body can help prevent major injuries.
Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective for many conditions that arise during pregnancy. We work closely with your other health care providers making your pregnancy as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.

We do take most insurances. Contact our office and we can check with your insurance to see if we are a provider for your individual plan.
Each individual’s time may vary depending on treatment protocols for your specific injury. The initial visit will usually take around 30 minutes; includes a detailed history and examination, and in most cases treatment of your specific complaint. Follow-up visits typically last around 15 minutes, but may take longer. We strive to be as efficient with your time as we can, but still give you the care that you need.
Most injuries and chronic pain are a result of prolonged musculoskeletal issues. Each case is different, but most cases are resolved within 6-12 visits with the goal being to restore normal function to the areas treated. Oftentimes significant improvements in pain are seen within the first couple visits.
We use a variety of chiropractic techniques, such as: Diversified, Thompson Drop, Activator, Webster, Logan Basic, and more. We do this in order to best treat your individual case in a way that will be the most effective for YOU. We also offer physiotherapy, electric stim (e-stim), nutritional services, and acupuncture in order to best serve our patients.
