Frequently Asked Questions
1. What can chiropractic care help with?
We commonly see low back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, neck pain, headaches, mid-back pain, hip/knee/ankle issues, and sports injuries. Many patients also come for mobility, recovery, and performance care.
2. What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit includes a consultation, posture and movement exam, and a plain-English report of findings. If safe and appropriate, treatment begins on day one.
3. Do you take X-rays?
Only when clinically necessary. Most musculoskeletal cases do not require imaging to start safe, evidence-based care. If imaging is needed, we’ll coordinate locally and review the results with you.
4. Are adjustments safe? Will they hurt?
Chiropractic adjustments are generally safe when performed by a licensed provider. You may feel mild pressure or a quick stretch. We offer gentle, low-force options if you prefer no “cracking.”
5. How many visits will I need?
It depends on your condition, goals, and how long the issue has been present. Many acute cases improve within 4–6 visits; chronic or performance goals may take longer. You’ll always get a clear, individualized timeline.
6. What is sciatica and how do you treat it?
Sciatica is irritation of the sciatic nerve causing leg pain, tingling, or weakness. We address the root cause (disc, joint, or soft tissue) with spinal/hip mobility work, nerve glides, targeted exercises, and activity modifications so you can move with less pain.
7. Do you treat shoulder pain?
Yes. We evaluate rotator cuff injuries, impingement, frozen shoulder, and posture-related pain. Treatment combines joint mobilization, soft-tissue therapy, and rehab exercises to restore strength and motion.
8. Will I get exercises?
Yes. Expect custom home exercises (usually 2–4 movements) to reinforce clinic gains. We provide video or printed guides and progress them as you improve.
9. Do you work with runners and athletes?
Absolutely. We focus on quick relief and performance, including load management, strength testing, and injury prevention strategies.
10. Do you accept insurance? How much does it cost?
We can verify your insurance benefits and explain options in advance. If using insurance isn’t ideal, we offer transparent self-pay rates and wellness packages.
11. Do I need a referral?
In New York, no referral is required to see a chiropractor. We coordinate with your medical team as needed.
12. What should I wear or bring?
Wear comfortable clothing you can move in (athletic wear is perfect). Bring imaging reports, a medication list, or any previous treatment notes you want us to review.
13. Can you help during pregnancy?
Yes—when appropriate we use gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques and exercises to reduce back, hip, and pelvic discomfort.
14. Do you see teens and older adults?
Yes. Care plans are age-appropriate, emphasizing safety, bone health, and mobility.
15. What if I’m nervous about “cracking”?
No problem. We have low-force techniques (mobilization, drop-assist, instrument-assisted) that do not require thrust or popping sounds.
16. What’s your cancellation policy?
Please give 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows may incur a fee.
17. Do you offer same-day appointments?
We do our best to provide same-day or next-day care for urgent pain or injuries. Call early for best availability.
