1. What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to treating musculoskeletal and nervous system conditions. Chiropractors use spinal adjustments, decompression, and therapeutic modalities to relieve pain, improve function, and support natural healing.
2. What conditions do chiropractors treat?
We treat back and neck pain, sciatica, headaches, herniated discs, joint and muscle pain, chronic knee pain, and work or sports injuries.
3. What is spinal decompression therapy?
Spinal decompression is a motorized traction treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It’s helpful for herniated discs, sciatica, stenosis, and degenerative disc disease.
4. How does SoftWave Therapy work?
SoftWave Therapy uses acoustic shockwaves to stimulate blood flow, reduce inflammation, and activate stem cells. It’s FDA-cleared and effective for joint pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and more.
5. Is SoftWave Therapy painful?
Most patients describe it as a pulsing or tapping sensation. Discomfort may occur over damaged tissue, but it typically fades quickly.
6. What can I expect during my first visit?
Your first visit includes a full consultation, physical exam, explanation of findings, and personalized treatment plan. Treatment may begin the same day.
7. Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
No — adjustments are typically painless. You may hear a “pop” as gas releases from the joint. Most people feel relief or improved motion afterward.
8. Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for musculoskeletal conditions when performed by a licensed provider.
9. How long does it take to feel better?
Some patients feel better after 1–2 visits. Chronic conditions may take a few weeks. Progress is monitored throughout care.
10. Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover chiropractic care, including Medicare and major private insurers. Our team verifies your benefits for you.
11. What is the popping sound during an adjustment?
That sound is joint cavitation — a harmless release of gas when pressure in the joint is relieved.
12. What is SoftWave used to treat?
SoftWave treats joint pain, knee osteoarthritis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, peripheral neuropathy, scar tissue, and more.
13. Can I get chiropractic care if I’ve had surgery?
Yes — as long as your condition is stable and cleared by your surgeon. Many post-surgical patients benefit from chiropractic and SoftWave care.
14. Do you treat work-related injuries?
Yes. We accept workers’ compensation cases and help with documentation and return-to-work plans.
15. Do you offer non-surgical options for herniated discs?
Yes — spinal decompression and SoftWave Therapy are excellent non-invasive treatments for disc problems.
16. How many SoftWave sessions will I need?
Most people notice improvement in 3–6 sessions. Chronic cases may require additional treatment depending on the condition.
17. Do I need a referral?
No referral is necessary. Call us at 610-789-1800 or request an appointment online.
18. Do you treat kids and teens?
Yes — we offer safe, age-appropriate chiropractic care for children and teens, including sports injury and posture support.
19. Can chiropractic help with headaches or migraines?
Yes. Many headaches stem from tension and misalignment in the neck. Chiropractic care can help reduce frequency and severity.
