What can I expect from my first chiropractic appointment?
Depending of the type of care needed for your individual circumstance, physical examination, orthopedic testing, as well as potential x-rays will be needed to assess the cause for your appointment. You can rest assured that at Keystone Chiropractic, only the necessary procedures will be performed during your visits.
Do all chiropractic adjustments require high force pushing on my body?
There are several different types of adjustments. Depending on the circumstances that you are seeking care for as well as your age and previous type of chiropractic care that you received, the type of adjustment that you receive can vary.
What is the popping sound that I hear when I receive an adjustment?
The “popping” sound that you hear during many higher force adjustments is nothing to worry about. These sounds are simply gases and fluids physically moving through various joint spaces where and when you are adjusted.
What is actually happening to my joints during an adjustment?
When you receive an adjustment, the goal is to re-align the mis-aligned articulating joints (the subluxated joints) of your body which will then not only allow your joints to move more freely, but the adjustment will also reduce the discomfort that you are feeling, and, if involved, restore normal neural and muscle activity around the involved joints.
Will one adjustment “fix” my problem?
Typically, one adjustment will not correct all related problems that originally made you seek care. We do however, use many different physical therapy and rehabilitation procedures as well as neuromuscular therapy to speed your care and recovery.
Once I start chiropractic care, do I have to come back three times per week for six months?
It is impossible to state (with any accuracy) how long a patient will need to correct whatever problem that brings them to seek care. Many factors, including the type and severity of the problem, as well as how long the patient has had the problem influence the duration of care. At Keystone Chiropractic, we assure you that you will only receive necessary care to address your situation.
Do I have to be a chiropractic patient to receive massage therapy?
No. Although neuromuscular therapy will occasionally be prescribed for patients to assist them in recovery, anybody is welcome to be a massage client without seeking chiropractic care.
