Dr. Jennifer Liu, D.C.

Depends on your goal. If you want to just get out of pain, should be about 8-10 visits, more or less depending on severity. However if you want to transition into prevention (where you want to avoid future instances of back pain or increase strength and stability outside of pain), then there might be more consistency, like 2 times a month for several months, and occasional check ups.

100%! We are specially trained to work on problems with the spine, neck included! Just make sure you do your homework on the chiropractic doc you choose. Different docs use different techniques. For example, I use the Gonstead technique which has many checks and balances to make sure we adjust the correct vertebra and we adjust it specifically. Often times we find that neck problems actually originate in the upper midback, so it's important to get properly examined and diagnosed!

It depends. How long the problem has been there, how severe the problem is (degeneration? soft tissue damage? underlying causes? nature of injury?) will all contribute to your care plan with the chiropractor you choose to see. There are also different chiropractors who do different techniques and approaches that require different timelines. Another factor for timeline would be your goal and your comfort.

I would as soon as possible, especially if you have discomforts that you
didn't have before the accident or if they are persistent. It's always
better to seek care immediately when you are injured, so that the
chiropractor can take care of things before they become a chronic issue.

Yes! You still have a good amount of hormones like relaxin in your body, and a good chiropractor will know that and be careful and conservative adjusting you, but can definitely help with improving posture position, and aches and pains from joint dysfunction.

Yes, if you find a chiropractor who is trained to work with pregnancy. There is special training and courses on how to adjust and treat pregnant females. There are also special certifications like Webster Technique that helps to reduce in-utero constraint on babies and relieve dystocia (pelvic pain from malalignment) for mother. If done correctly, chiropractic care can be greatly beneficial for pregnancy and has been shown to reduce pain and ease in the birthing process. You just have to do a little research into finding the right one for you.
