FAQs

Typically the first visit will take 30-45 minutes depending on your unique case. We start with a conversation about what you’re looking to achieve with chiropractic care, next we perform any exams that we need to get to the root of the problem, then you will receive your first adjustment. Follow up visits are generally much quicker, and you can expect to be in the office for 10-15 minutes.

We will first sit down to get clear on your challenges and goals, following that we do a NeuroStructural exam which consists of very specific tests to see how your eyes, inner ears, and spine are communicating with your brain. Once we’re clear on the specific areas that need to be corrected, we will get started with your first session immediately.

Yes, if we can clearly understand your problem, and there are no contraindications, then we will adjust you on Day 1. Why wait to start the healing process?

The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago, the second best time is now. There is no greater gift that you can give your child than a well-functioning, balanced brain and body. Not only can it prevent so many future problems, it will help them to perform at their best academically, athletically and socially.

Unless there’s very severe inflammation, no. In fact most people love the sensation when they understand what it is. We’re just moving things that are designed to move which lights up the brain like a Christmas tree. Most people feel more vibrant and alive immediately after.

Gas bubbles forming. It’s pretty much the same thing as a suction cup. When we move the joint quickly, the pressure in the joint drops and the greasy, lubricating fluid in the joints (synovial fluid) releases a gas bubble. After the adjustment it takes about 10-20 minutes for that gas to go right back into the liquid. That’s why you can’t pop your knuckles again until some time passes.

Absolutely not, it actually prevents it. This is an old wives tale with no basis in reality.

We love nothing more than taking care of moms during pregnancy, and their kids once they’re born. Pregnancy really is one of the most miraculous times in life, when the body goes through so many changes is such a short period of time. It’s also a time when you don’t want to be taking any toxic drugs for pain relief.

Chiropractic care is one of the safest, most effective ways to not only feel great, but to actually make the delivery easier for mother and child. Getting the pelvis aligned not only helps with the back pain associated with pregnancy, but it also facilitates a safer delivery for the child.

Pretty much the safest healthcare available, yes. Nobody keeps better statistics than the insurance companies. Our malpractice insurance is cheaper than our car insurance and several orders of magnitude less than any medical malpractice. In over 30 years of practice, and half a million adjustments given we’ve never seen a single adverse event other than some muscle soreness after the adjustment.

Nope! Chiropractors can’t even adjust themselves. We can “pop” joints, but usually the one that pops is the most freely moveable, not the one that is the most blocked. What makes the adjustment so powerful is the specificity. Popping joints, or even gross manipulations, are not the same thing as a specific adjustment.

Again, no. Quite the opposite. The adjustment actually improves the sensorimotor integration and improves the stability of the spine. It helps to balance the tiny intrinsic muscles of the spine so that they become more fine-tuned, not looser.

In most cases we will do a 3D digital cone beam ct. It is absolutely cutting edge, state of the art technology, and one of the absolute lowest radiation imaging solutions available. This incredible technology has advanced so much that we are able to get amazing views of the spine with virtually zero risk. To not see is to guess, and we won’t guess with your health.

Absolutely! Our animals are also prone to stress and tension. All of our Doctors are Certified Animal Chiropractors who have completed post doctoral training of 240 hours, and have been trained in large animal and small animal chiropractic. Our doctors are certified by the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association. We especially love taking care of horse and rider. Whether you have a heart horse that you want to give the best quality of life possible to, or a 5 star Olympic eventing horse, chiropractic can improve their health, performance, and longevity. Riders also benefit tremendously from the improved balance, timing and feel that chiropractic can create.
