Frequently Asked Questions
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on the health of the nervous system by addressing spinal misalignments (subluxations) that can affect your body’s ability to function optimally. We use gentle, specific adjustments to support the body's natural ability to heal and regulate itself.
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
While chiropractic is not a treatment for specific conditions, many people see improvements in issues such as back pain, headaches, colic, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, digestive problems, and more after nervous system-centered care. Chiropractic focuses on your body’s ability to adapt and works to support your natural physiology and ability to heal.
Do you only care for people with back or neck pain?
Not at all. While many people seek care for those reasons, our practice is centered around optimizing nervous system function for the whole family—pregnant women, infants, children, and adults. Chiropractic isn’t just about feeling better, it’s about functioning better too.
What can I expect on my first visit?
Your first visit includes a comprehensive consultation, neurological assessments, posture and spinal evaluations, and time to discuss your health goals. If clinically appropriate, we’ll provide your first adjustment on the same day.
Is chiropractic care safe for babies and children?
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic care is extremely gentle, using light touch and specific techniques appropriate for your child’s size and developmental stage. We specialize in helping infants and children thrive. All of our doctors have taken advanced training with the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association to better care for children of all ages.
Why would a baby need chiropractic care?
Even natural births can place stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system. Chiropractic adjustments can help support healthy development, improve sleep, reduce colic, and enhance breastfeeding outcomes.
Do you offer prenatal chiropractic care?
Absolutely. We provide care throughout pregnancy, including the Webster Technique for optimal pelvic alignment and nervous system balance to support a more comfortable pregnancy and birth. All of our chiropractors have been certified in the Webster Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association.
Do you accept insurance?
We are a direct-pay practice, meaning we do not bill insurance. This allows us to focus entirely on your care without the limitations of third-party involvement. We are happy to provide receipts for potential reimbursement or HSA/FSA use.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, cash, and checks. We also offer family plans and care packages to make wellness care affordable.
Do you offer family or wellness plans?
Yes. We believe chiropractic care should be accessible to the whole family. Ask us about our flexible family wellness plans at your first visit.
