What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic is a natural, safe, drug-free, hands-on form of health care. The basis of chiropractic is that the nervous system directly or indirectly controls every cell in the body. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain communicates through the spinal cord and nerves, and the nerves branch away from the cord between each vertebra. A misaligned bone may cause irritation of the nerve. The nerves go to the muscles and organs and influence the cells in your body. So when the nerves are irritated it may lead to pain, muscle tightness or other health problems. This misaligned bone is called a subluxation.

What Can I Expect From a Visit to the Chiropractor?

On your first visit, you will begin by filling out paperwork. You can find forms on this website. Those forms may ask about any current health problems, past health history, and family history as well as request information that is used for billing purposes. Your doctor will review the paperwork and then ask you questions regarding this information and any additional information he/she may need to determine your health problem. The doctor will then do a physical examination that involves various tests to help determine your diagnosis. After reviewing all the information, the doctor will determine if chiropractic care can help with your health concerns. They will discuss your diagnosis and the treatment plan they recommend for you. If you are comfortable with this plan, the chiropractic treatment will be performed.

Which Forms Do I Use for My Appointment?

We have provided forms for you to print and complete prior to your appointment. See the forms page on this website. If you cannot or choose not to print forms but want to review what information you will need at your appointment, you can do so. If you have never been a patient in our clinic, you will need to complete the new patient appointment forms. If you have been a patient in our clinic in the past and it has been more than 4 months since you have been seen, you will need to complete the updated patient appointment forms. If you were involved in an auto accident or work-related injury, you will also need to complete the applicable form for the type of accident you were involved in. If you print and complete forms, be sure to bring them along with you to your appointment. Please do not email forms to our office.

What Conditions Does Chiropractic Help With?

Chiropractic removes irritation to the nerves. These nerves influence all areas of your body, so removing irritation to the nerves helps put your body into a healthier state to deal with any condition. Although chiropractic helps by putting your body in a healthier state, it may not be the only form of health care needed to treat your condition. If this is the case, your chiropractor will recommend that you see another health care professional for evaluation and treatment in addition to your chiropractic care. Some common conditions that patients seek chiropractic care for are headaches, back and neck pain, pain or numbness in the arms and legs, sports injuries, work injuries, and auto injuries.

Who Should See a Chiropractor?

People of all ages, from babies to the elderly, benefit from chiropractic care. Sometimes different techniques are used to treat certain ages. Babies and small children are adjusted using no-force techniques. Children usually respond quickly to light adjustments where a gentle pressure is applied to the bone out of alignment. Small babies may have subluxations from the trauma of birth, or as they learn to walk and run; children fall, and can suffer strains and sprains like adults, and as they get older many deal with sports injuries. Chiropractic care has been known to have a positive influence on such conditions as colic, chronic ear infections, bed-wetting, headaches, asthma as well as neck and back pain.

What Is That Noise You Hear When You Get Adjusted?

The noise you sometimes hear when getting adjusted is gas in the joint releasing, which makes a “cracking” noise. Like when you open a can of soda or popping bubble wrap bubbles, the air or gas is released and you hear a “pop” or “crack” noise.

Are Adjustments Painful?

Generally, adjustments are not painful, and some patients even receive immediate relief. For some patients, there is initial discomfort that usually subsides within a very short amount of time. Sometimes when seeking treatment after a recent injury, surrounding tissues are inflamed or irritated. If you receive an adjustment to this area, you may experience some discomfort, but this should improve as your condition improves.

Is Chiropractic Safe?

Chiropractic is considered a safe option for neuromusculoskeletal conditions, even safer than many other treatment options, but as with any health care procedure, complications are possible. These complications are considered rare. Some complications that are possible include fractures to bones, strain/sprains, and minor stiffness or soreness.
