What Does a Chiropractor Do?

A chiropractor is a licensed healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially issues involving the spine. Through hands-on spinal adjustments and other techniques, chiropractors work to relieve pain, improve mobility, correct alignment issues, and help the body function at its best without the use of drugs or surgery.

Is a Chiropractor Safe?

Yes, chiropractic care is considered very safe when performed by a licensed and trained professional. Adjustments are non-invasive and tailored to each patient’s needs. Most people experience immediate relief or a noticeable improvement, though mild soreness may occur after treatment, similar to the feeling after a workout. Chiropractors also screen patients thoroughly to make sure care is appropriate and safe for their condition.

Do I Need a Referral to see a Chiropractor?

No referral is needed. You can schedule an appointment with us directly. Chiropractors are considered primary care providers for musculoskeletal issues, which means you can come to us without seeing another doctor first. However, if you’re using insurance, some plans may require a referral—our team can help you check your benefits.

What Conditions Can a Chiropractor Treat?

Chiropractors treat a wide range of conditions related to the spine, joints, and nervous system. This includes common issues like lower back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches, migraines, whiplash, sports injuries, poor posture, and joint stiffness. We also provide wellness care to help maintain spinal health and prevent future issues.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Every patient is different, so the number of sessions depends on your condition, how long you've had it, and your personal goals. Some patients find relief after just one or two visits, while others benefit from ongoing care. After a full assessment, we’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan that fits your lifestyle and recovery timeline.
