Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. When provided by a licensed chiropractor, chiropractic care is widely regarded as safe and effective. With over 20 years of clinical experience, I use conservative, evidence-based techniques tailored to each patient’s condition, age, and health history. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation before care begins, and treatment is always adjusted to prioritize safety and comfort.

I commonly treat patients with neck and back pain, postural imbalance, headaches, and sciatica or nerve-related discomfort. I also evaluate and treat extremity conditions involving the arms and legs, along with sports injuries, work-related injuries, and motor vehicle accident–related injuries. Many patients come to my clinic after symptoms have become chronic or when other treatments have provided limited relief.________________________________________

The number of visits depends on the nature of your condition, how long symptoms have been present, posture, daily activities, and how your body responds to care. Acute conditions may improve within a few visits, while chronic or long-standing issues often require a structured care plan. Progress is regularly reassessed, and care is adjusted as needed.

Yes. I work with many major insurance plans and also treat patients under auto accident (PI/MVA) and workers’ compensation cases. Coverage varies by plan, so benefits are verified in advance and explained clearly before treatment begins.

Your first visit includes a comprehensive evaluation, such as a review of health history, orthopedic and neurological testing, postural and movement assessment, and palpation and functional examination. Treatment is recommended only when chiropractic care is appropriate for your condition. Patient education and informed decision-making are always emphasized.

Many patients with chronic pain benefit from chiropractic care, especially when symptoms are related to posture, joint dysfunction, muscular imbalance, or nerve irritation. Chronic conditions require a different approach than acute injuries, focusing on functional improvement, biomechanics, and long-term stability rather than short-term symptom relief alone.

Yes. Imaging studies do not always reveal functional issues such as joint restriction, muscle imbalance, fascial tension, or postural stress. It is common for patients to experience pain despite normal imaging findings. Chiropractic evaluation focuses on how the body moves and functions, not only what appears on scans.

Chiropractic care should be modified or discontinued if progress plateaus despite appropriate care, new or worsening neurological symptoms develop, or imaging or referral becomes clinically necessary. I closely monitor each patient’s progress and refer to other healthcare providers when appropriate. Responsible, patient-centered care is always the priority.

Yes. Poor posture places long-term stress on the spine, joints, and nervous system. Chiropractic care can help improve spinal mobility, alignment, and postural awareness. Effective posture correction typically involves in-office care combined with home exercises and lifestyle guidance to achieve lasting results.

Yes. Motor vehicle accidents often cause soft-tissue injuries that may not be immediately painful but can worsen over time. Early evaluation is important to document injuries, guide appropriate care, and reduce the risk of long-term complications. I have extensive experience managing post-MVA cases.

Chiropractic care focuses on spinal and joint function, biomechanics, and nervous system involvement, while physical therapy often emphasizes rehabilitation exercises and modalities. The most appropriate approach depends on the individual condition, and in some cases, care can be complementary.

Most chiropractic techniques are gentle and well tolerated. Some patients experience mild soreness similar to post-exercise discomfort, which typically resolves quickly. All techniques are adjusted based on patient comfort, condition, and preference.

Yes. Chiropractic care can be safely adapted for older adults using gentle, low-force techniques when appropriate. Many older patients seek care for stiffness, mobility limitations, postural changes, or chronic discomfort affecting daily activities.

If your symptoms involve the spine, joints, posture, or movement and interfere with daily activities, chiropractic evaluation may be appropriate. During your initial visit, I will determine whether chiropractic care is suitable or if referral to another provider is in your best interest.

I offer over 20 years of clinical experience, personalized one-on-one care, a conservative and evidence-based approach, experience with chronic and complex cases, and a strong focus on posture, biomechanics, and long-term outcomes. My goal is not just symptom relief, but helping patients regain function and confidence in their bodies.
