Frequently Asked Questions

Q- Why should I see a Chiropractor?

A- Chiropractic care is an excellent way to aid in overall total body wellness. From common ailments like neck and back pain to complex issues like fibromyalgia and diabetes, chiropractic care can help relieve your condition.

Q- Is chiropractic care effective?

A- Chiropractic works by removing structural imbalances within the body. For your body to perform at its best, your nervous system must be able to send messages from the brain, down your spinal cord, to your nerves without interference.

When your body is out of alignment, the signals are interrupted, resulting in a wide range of ailments. Chiropractic adjustments restore spinal functions, which directly optimizes nervous system functionality, allowing improved health and wellness.

Q- What can I expect from my first visit?

A- a. Your first visit with Dr. Anne will be all about getting to know you, your history, current condition and goals. Dr. Anne is extremely open, friendly and knowledgeable and will talk with you about options and recommendations.

X-rays may be taken if needed, to gain a better perspective of your condition. Therapy may be performed. Dr. Anne knows that coming to a chiropractor for the first time, may be a little scary, but she is certain to make you feel comfortable and at ease.

Q- What is an adjustment? Does it hurt?

A- Adjustments are sometimes done to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place. Whether you’ve been involved in an accident, fall or simply normal daily activity, realignment helps your body perform at its peak by allowing the flow of nerves to travel down your spinal cord without interruption.

An adjustment is done with a quick movement of pressure, either by hand or using instruments, to move a vertebrae back into place.

Patients often describe an immediate relief and it is often done without discomfort. You may hear a popping sound like you are cracking your knuckles, which is simply the release of oxygen and nitrogen from within the joint.

Q- Are adjustments safe?

A- Yes. When comparing prescription drugs or surgery, adjustments are remarkably safe. If during the exam, Dr. Anne identifies that chiropractic care is not for you, she will most definitely let you know.

Q- Do you accept health insurance?

A- Yes, we accept most insurance plans.

Q- Do I need an appointment?

A- Dr. Anne has an open door policy, and while you can certainly make an appointment, walk-ins are always welcome.
