How often should you get back adjustments?
As a chiropractic physician, I get adjusted once a month for what’s called wellness care. There’s no specific timeframe, but more of what you feel optimal about. READ MORE
Do chiropractors offer free consultations?
Free consultations vary from one office or practitioner to another. I don't see anything wrong with giving away a brief 5 minute consult, but any longer than that you are actually taking on more liability if something is missed in only a consult. Its best to charge for the consultation, examination and x-rays if needed. READ MORE
Do chiropractors typically take x-rays?
Some insurance company guidelines recommend waiting 28 days after starting chiropractic care to do x-rays unless there are red flags that would warrant x-rays earlier. READ MORE
Very tight neck
I would recommend visiting a chiropractor for a consultation, examination and cervical x-rays. This would give you a 2nd opinion about your complaint and the x-rays may reveal something that could be underlying and contributing to your chronic neck tightness. Hope this helps. READ MORE
Should I see a chiro after a car accident?
Yes. If it has been months since your accident and you're still having discomfort then by all means you should be examined by a chiropractor and possibly have X-rays taken of the complaint area and more if recommended by the chiropractor that you are examined by. If this reveals an issue that chiropractic can help with, then go through the treatment as chiropractors are trained to treat an array of injuries as result of a motor vehicle accident. They may refer you to a physical therapist, orthopedic or neurologist if they feel those types of providers would be better at treating you. READ MORE
