Chiropractic FAQs

• When should I see a chiropractor?

  You should consider seeing a chiropractor if you've experienced an injury or stress on the body due to an auto accident or sports injury. Additionally, chiropractic adjustments can treat chronic back and neck pains, headaches, lower stress levels, and even help with weight loss. Adjustments can help bring the body back into alignment, which can positively impact multiple systems of the body.
• How do I find a good chiropractor?

  Some considerations include years of experience, online reviews, services offered, and proximity. Optimally, you can find a chiropractor near you using Chirolisting.com, which only lists hand-picked, reputable chiropractic physicians with positive Google reviews and years of experience.
• How long does a chiropractic adjustment last?

  The adjustment itself can take anywhere from 15 - 30 minutes. The lasting benefits from an adjustment can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on the person and the injury. Seeing a chiropractor on a regular basis will provide optimal results, both in the short and long term.
• Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

  Usually a referral is not needed to be seen by a chiropractor. Though depending on your health insurance coverage, you may have certain referral requirements. While most plans allow you to simply call and schedule an appointment, you may want to contact your insurance provider first to find out if you have any referral requirements.
• What are the benefits of chiropractic?

  Chiropractic provides dozens of health benefits! The main reason patients love chiropractic is because it addresses the body as a whole. While medical doctors prescribe a medication to mask your symptoms, chiropractic digs deeper to uncover the source of your pain, inflammation, and injury. Chiropractic can provide pain relief in both adults and children, including back and neck pain, headaches, reduced stress, pain in the extremities, and much more.
