"Inquiring Minds Want To Know!"

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes, when performed in the hands of a fully trained professional chiropractor. This is why entire families (new-born infants to our cherished senior citizens) are seeking the services of chiropractors in greater numbers than ever before in history. As is true in any business, whenever a certain measure of success is reached, there will be others (less trained) who will attempt to tell you that they can do the adjustments. Do not be fooled by these "johnny-come-lately copycats", even if they appear to be professionals in other health care fields. Doctors of Chiropractic spend five academic years learning and honing their unique skills. TRUST THE TRAINED HANDS OF A FULLY TRAINED AND SKILLED CHIROPRACTOR.

Is chiropractic care affordable?
Yes -- with or without insurance coverage.

Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Yes, most major insurance plans cover chiropractic, however, every plan is different and you must consult your insurance company for details; most chiropractic offices can help you with verifying your particular coverage.

"I hear once you go to a chiropractor that you have to keep going the rest of your life, is this true?
NO. The truth is that once they experience their new quality of life, most people choose to continue with regular chiropractic checkups and adjustments. So many people slowly decline in their health and vitality as they go through life and forget what it was like to live a life of real quality. Then they begin to receive spinal care through the hands of a chiropactor and begin to climb back up that ladder of health. This rekindled vitality of life is one of the reasons people choose to continue chiropratic care throughout their more vitalistic lives.

Why Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is based upon the scientific fact that your nerve system communicates with and controls the function of virtually every cell, organ, and system in your body. Chiropractic gets results by opening and keeping open these lines of communication by safely and specifically adjusting the vertebrae of the spine.

The "cracking" sound, what is it? Is it bones crunching on top of each other?
NO. The sound that you often hear as part of the adjustment is really gas in your joints. Think of it this way -- open a bottle or can of soda (which is liquid). There is the popping sound created by gas being released from the liquid or really the molecules being converted from a liquid state to a gasous state. If you put the cap back on the bottle and then open it again (without shaking), there is no sound. The "audible" or sound of the adjustment is similar, it is a change of the liquid state of molecules in the joint tissue to a gas state. Once, fully released, there is no more sound even if you adjust the vertebrae again. However, if you wait about 15-20 minutes and do it again, there will usually be a sound because, during that time, the gas returned to its former condition of a liquid within the tissues. Hearing or not hearing the "audible" is not necessarily an indication that the vertebral joint has been adjusted. It is merely a byproduct of a certain kind of movement.
