Does chiropractic care hurt?No, chiropractic care is generally not painful. Many patients find that it brings immediate relief.

How long will my treatment take?The length of treatment depends on your unique needs and goals. Some patients experience relief after just a few visits, while others may require a longer course of treatment, especially if there’s a need for spinal correction. We’ll give you a clear estimate of your care plan during your first visit, and we’ll regularly re-evaluate your progress to ensure the plan is working for you.
-
How often will I need to come for treatments?Initially, you may need to visit us more frequently to help correct your spine and posture. As your body starts to heal and improve, we can reduce the frequency of visits. Some patients continue with periodic wellness visits to keep their spine in optimal condition.
-
What is Spinal Corrective Care?Spinal Corrective Care is a specialized technique designed to correct postural imbalances and spinal misalignments. It focuses on long-term healing rather than temporary relief, helping to realign the spine and prevent future issues. Dr. Patrick uses a combination of gentle and motion-based adjustments to help restore proper function to your spine, improving overall health.
-
How does posture affect my health?Poor posture is one of the most common causes of back, neck, and shoulder pain. Over time, bad posture can cause the spine to lose its natural curve, leading to stiffness, discomfort, and even nerve compression. By correcting your posture, we can help alleviate pain, prevent further damage, and improve overall function.
-

Regular chiropractic care can help you manage stress more effectively and feel more relaxed overall.
