Is it safe being adjusted by a chiropractor?
Absolutely. An adjustment given by a Doctor of Chiropractic is an incredibly safe procedure and the risk associated with it is extremely small. Chiropractic is one of the safest drug-free therapies available.
What are the benefits of seeing a chiropractor?
Babies, kids and adults can all benefit from chiropractic care. Everything from latching issues, ear infections, colic, headaches, neck pain, digestive issues, low back pain and more have all shown improvement and often resolution with chiropractic.
Are adjustments painful?
Most people find adjustments to be comfortable and relaxing. In the beginning, there can be some soreness associated with the adjustment. This is similar to feeling sore after working out and is usually a non-issue after the 2nd or 3rd adjustment as your body gets used to the changes we are making. At any point in your care, if you are still feeling uncomfortable in any way, Dr. Stacey and Dr. Mike can modify how they adjust you to work within your comfort zone.
Do you take insurance?
We do participate with most insurances. When you schedule your new patient appointment, we will collect your insurance information and verify your benefits. For those without insurance, we offer a cash based program through Chiro Health, (CHUSA). Rates with CHUSA are often similar to insurance copays or deductibles and at times can even be more cost effective than going through your insurance.
