Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes! Chiropractic is widely regarded as one of the safest forms of healthcare. It is noninvasive and can improve many types of muscular, skeletal and nervous system complaints. And through this incredible treatment, many people are able to avoid medications and surgery that can have serious side effects. In a doctor of chiropractic’s hands, adjustments have an excellent record of safety for patients of all ages.
What conditions can chiropractic care help with?
Chiropractic care addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal problems by improving spinal alignment and calming irritated nerves. Chiropractic’s focus often starts with the spine because nerves lead from the spine to every part of the body. Issues like headaches, menstrual problems, sciatica, high blood pressure, fibromyalgia, and even anxiety can be addressed by calming the nervous system.
Does chiropractic care help with back pain?
Absolutely. Chiropractors are specialists in treating musculoskeletal problems that are very often the cause of back pain. Whether back pain results from a traffic accident, sports injury or a more chronic problem, chiropractic can very often provide relief without the need for drugs or surgery. Dr. Dusty offers his patients chiropractic adjustments, Pressure Point Therapy, nutritional supplements and lifestyle recommendations to speed their healing and resolve back pain.
Can a chiropractor help with headaches or neck pain?
Yes, chiropractic has been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency and severity of various types of headaches, including migraines. Often, headaches are related to muscle tension and misalignments of the neck. Many Americans work sedentary jobs and then relax in front of the television when they get home. Poor posture and lack of exercise can increase joint irritation and tension in the neck and upper back, resulting in headaches.
Dr. Dusty gently and precisely adjusts the joints in the neck and upper back to restore the vertebrae to their correct positions. This allows the muscles in those areas to relax. By relieving headaches, chiropractors help their patients avoid dependence on over-the-counter or prescription painkillers that can have severe side effects.
What are the benefits of chiropractic care?
Chiropractic has many benefits above and beyond pain relief. Adjustments help patients move more easily and have a greater range of motion in all their joints. Many people also discover that they feel more energetic when their body is working the way it is supposed to. And, once they have more energy and less pain, their mood and mental health often improves.
How long does chiropractic care typically last?
An individual chiropractic visit can take anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes. After a patient is well-established in care, visits are usually shorter. How long a person should receive chiropractic care varies depending on your specific circumstances. Many people begin seeing a chiropractor for help with a specific physical problem or to recover from an injury, which can take several visits over the course of a few weeks to resolve. A physical problem that has been present for a long time will probably require longer treatment. Dr. Dusty will be able to give you a more precise timeline for your treatment at your consultation.
Can children see a chiropractor?
Children of all ages can benefit from chiropractic care. Any person of any age may suffer trauma that harms the alignment of the spine and irritates spinal nerves. With small children, chiropractors offer more gentle, low force adjustments. A family chiropractor is a wonderful asset to help children grow up healthy and pain-free, and recover from bumps and bruises as well as more severe trauma.
What should I do to prepare for my first chiropractic appointment?
Wear comfortable clothing and be ready to discuss your health history, current symptoms, and goals. Bring a list of any medications you’re currently taking or diagnoses you have. A light meal beforehand is recommended.
Are there any risks associated with chiropractic care?
Because chiropractic is non-invasive, it is one of the safest medical treatments you can receive. Chiropractic has helped millions of patients around the world avoid much riskier treatments like opioid painkillers or surgery. And many chiropractors, like Dr. Dusty, utilize x-rays for your treatment so any areas that might cause problems are known. With an understanding of what medical conditions may exist, a chiropractor can often offer a gentle, precise adjustment to improve overall health and reduce pain.
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Most major insurance plans cover chiropractic care, but coverage varies. We’re happy to help you check your benefits and explain any copays, visit limits, or referral requirements.
