Frequently Asked Questions - About Chiropractic Care
-
A chiropractor identifies areas where your spine and nervous system are not communicating well, then uses specific, gentle movements to restore that communication. The goal is not to crack you. It is to help your body function the way it was designed to.
-
No. Your care plan is built in phases. The first phase focuses on relief. The next focuses on stabilizing the change. After that, most patients shift to maintenance visits at whatever cadence keeps them feeling their best.

Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. We adapt every adjustment to the patient. Pregnant women, infants, athletes, and people with health conditions all get a version that is right for their body.
