FAQ

Chiropractic is a healthcare treatment that focuses on treating musculoskeletal and nervous system disorders.

Safety is one of the FAQs by new patients. Fear not, Chiropractic care is safe. A Doctor of Chiropractic undergoes the same rigorous training that a medical doctor goes through. Where medical doctors focuses on pharmacology and symptom based care a Chiropractor heals the body naturally and focuses on the cause rather than the symptom.

The goal of your initial visit is to figure out what is causing your symptoms. Next we will perform a thorough examination including a full history, orthopedic, neurological testing, nerve and muscle scans and x-rays if needed. Following the examination the doctor will sit and explain all the findings in a manner you will understand and determine if you are a Chiropractic candidate. If you are not we will refer you to the appropriate healthcare practitioner that can help you.

A Chiropractic adjustment is performed to the spine or any part of the body to correct alignment problems and alleviate pain. It involves applying a specific, controlled force to correct your body’s structural alignment. A Chiropractic adjustment improves spinal function and eliminates interference to the nervous system. Furthermore, it improves the overall health and wellbeing of a patient.

An adjustment itself should not increase pain. For some patients that visit a Chiropractor in Royal Palm Beach when they are experiencing symptoms, it may be uncomfortable. However, the discomfort should not persist and will most likely be followed by notable relief.

Most patients report immediate relief after their first adjustment. There are also other patients that take a few sessions before they report any significant change. Depending on your condition, you may also feel soreness on the treated area but this should not persist. Applying ice on the sore spots normally eliminates the soreness.

Your first visit may take around an hour as it involves the diagnostic process. Your succeeding visits for regular adjustments may take only 15-30 minutes.

Everybody is different, this depends on your inherent condition as well as your body’s response to treatment. There will be a discussion regarding the length of treatment during the initial consultation. The proposed treatment plan is discussed and outlined for your convenience.
