Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes, chiropractic care is considered safe when performed by licensed and trained professionals. Chiropractors use gentle, non-invasive techniques tailored to your specific condition and health needs. If you have any concerns, we encourage you to discuss them with us before starting treatment.
2. Does chiropractic care hurt?
Most patients find chiropractic adjustments to be comfortable and pain-free. You may feel slight pressure or hear a "popping" sound during adjustments, which is normal and not painful. Many patients feel immediate relief after their treatment.
3. Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No, you don’t need a referral to visit a chiropractor. You can schedule an appointment directly with our office. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so it’s best to check with your provider.
4. What is spinal decompression therapy, and how does it work?
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on the spine, specifically targeting conditions like herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and chronic back or neck pain. During the treatment, a motorized traction table gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within the discs. This allows nutrients, oxygen, and fluid to flow back into the discs, promoting healing and reducing pain. It helps to rehydrate discs, relieve nerve compression, and improve mobility.
5. Is spinal decompression therapy safe?
Yes, spinal decompression therapy is generally considered safe when performed by a trained professional in a clinical setting. It’s a non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects, but it may not be suitable for everyone. For instance, patients with certain conditions such as fractures, severe osteoporosis, or advanced spinal cancers may not be candidates. Your doctor will assess your medical history and discuss whether spinal decompression is right for you before starting any treatment.
6. Does spinal decompression therapy hurt?
Most patients report feeling a mild stretching sensation during spinal decompression, but it is generally not painful. The treatment is designed to be gentle and therapeutic. You may experience some soreness afterward, similar to the feeling you might have after a light workout, but this usually subsides after a few hours. If you experience significant pain during treatment, it’s important to inform your provider immediately.
