Chiropractic Therapy FAQ’s
At Action Spine and Joint, we’re committed to providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health. This resource covers the most common questions about chiropractic care, what to expect during your visit, the conditions we treat, and how our therapies can help you recover faster and live pain-free. Whether you’re new to chiropractic care or looking for advanced treatment options, our FAQ is here to guide you.
What conditions benefit from chiropractic treatment?
Conditions benefiting from Chiropractic Care
Usually you think of lower back pain or spinal stenosis when you think of chiropractic. But it also helps with things like migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, ligament damage, knee injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic.
Can Chiropractic help my “slipped disk”?
Spinal discs are not simply stacked bone segments. They are fluid-cushions that act as shock absorbers between the bones of the spine. The discs allow for pain-free movement and keep the vertebrae from grinding against each other. They work perfectly when the spine is correctly aligned.
When the spine gets misaligned because of stress, accident, or dislocation, the disc may “bulge” out between the vertebrae and lose their fluid. Eventually, the vertebrae rub against each other. This causes severe pain. Traditional treatment often involves surgery and pain-killing drugs.
Chiropractors work to gently realign the spine so that the discs no longer “bulge”. This prevents further deterioration of the disc and provides the needed cushion between the vertebrae, alleviating the pain.
Does chiropractic hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments can be very gentle. After the treatment , you may feel like you have had a good, solid workout at the gym. You may feel a bit of discomfort during the actual adjustment, but it usually lasts only seconds. You may hear some “popping” sounds, which comes from the bones getting back into line. It is the same thing as “popping” your fingers.
Is chiropractic “safe”?
Chiropractic practice is extremely safe. Chiropractic practitioners have a lot of training and experience to put just the right amount of pressure on your bones and joints and bring you back into alignment. And when you compare chiropractic with the number of mistakes in traditional medicine, chiropractic care shows up as very safe indeed. Some have estimated the risks as one million to one.
What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have?
Before entering into a chiropractic college, one must complete a minimum of 2 years of undergraduate study, and many colleges require a four-year undergraduate science degree. Training in chiropractic care involves extensive study of the neuromusculo-skeletal diagnosis and treatment. The course of study focuses on three areas: (1) basic training in biological and health sciences, (2) specialized training in chiropractic theory, practice, technique, diagnosis, and application, and (2) extensice clinical and practice training with patients.

How long will it take?
Everyone is different. It will depend on the amount of damage, the amount of time you have been experiencing a problem, and the severity of the pain. Some people may feel resolution in as little as two weeks, or your care may extend for months.
The first appointment will last up to 1 ½ hours, but subsequent appointments may be only a few minutes (if you only receive an adjustment) to an hour (if you also receive a massage or other physio-therapy.
Other than chiropractic, what do you do?
Because chiropractic practice is holistic, most chiropractic offices contain an element of nutritional and exercise recommendations. You may also receive supportive products to assist you in maintaining proper posture and body mechanics. These may include, custom orthotics, cervical pillows, neck and back supports, and home rehabilitation equipment.
Is Chiropractic treatment expensive?
Most insurance plans cover chiropractic to a degree. And most chiropractors are able to work out payment plans. Please contact the office if you have concerns about affordability. Chiropractors care about your health and will work with you to make sure you get the care you need.
Is chiropractic treatment just for back pain?
Chiropractors are generally specialists of the spine, but can treat any alignment problem from feet and ankles, to chest and shoulders, and wrists and hands as well. And many ailments are related in some way to a spinal problem.
Do I have to stay in chiropractic treatment forever?
Many people come to a chiropractor for a single specific ailment. You may decide that once you are out of pain, you have completed treatment. However, for permanent relief, it may take more time and commitment on your part, depending on the severity of your pain. You are in complete control of how long your treatment lasts. Your chiropractor will give you as much information as you need to may an informed decision about how long and to what extent you will benefit from chiropractic care.
