Chiropractors

Q. What exactly does a chiro do?
A. A treatment involves a physical manipulation of the joints and spine with a goal of alignment and they use hands-on spinal manipulations.

Q. Is it good to go to a chiro?
A. Yes, it's great to go to a chiropractor because if you are experiencing back pain, headaches, neck pain, arthritis and joint pain, or if you are suffering from pain headaches, bowel regularity, high blood pressure, asthma, and scoliosis.

Q. Is chiropractic care covered by Medicare?
A. Chiropractic care is not covered by Medicare. The only exception is when you need a manual manipulation of the spine in order to correct a subluxation. That happens when the bones in your spine move out of position.

Q. Is it normal to be tired after a chiropractic adjustment?
A. First-timers get this pretty often. It’s normal to feel tired, even to experience flu-like symptoms after your chiropractic treatment.

But that’s a good thing –it’s called toxic relief. Your body is adjusting to the treatment, and the symptoms will soon pass.

Q. What are the risks of chiropractic treatment?
A. Chiropractic treatment is documented to be safe and it has a low-risk level as long it is performed by someone trained and licensed to deliver chiropractic care.

There are certain conditions that are not suitable for chiropractic treatments.

Q. What does going to a chiro feel like?
A. There is little to no pain involved in an adjustment. You may feel some cracks, but you should not feel any intense pain.

Typically, if you weren't in pain prior to the adjustment, you won't be after.
