Chiropractic

A chiropractic adjustment is a procedure in which trained specialists (Chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal of this procedure, also known as spinal manipulation, is to improve spinal motion and improve your body’s physical function.

Initial Chiropractic Exam & Treatment

Your first chiropractic visit at Hand in Health begins with a thorough evaluation to assess your overall health, identify areas of concern, and determine the root cause of your discomfort. Our skilled chiropractors will perform a detailed consultation, physical examination, and may recommend additional assessments, such as posture analysis or range of motion testing. Following the evaluation, you’ll receive a personalized treatment plan, which includes gentle spinal adjustments, soft tissue techniques, and recommendations for ongoing care. This tailored approach is designed to restore alignment, reduce pain, and enhance your overall well-being.

Chiropractic FAQ’s

What Should I Expect at My First Chiropractic Treatment?

Your initial visit at Hand in Health is designed to ensure you receive the most comprehensive and personalized care possible. When you arrive, our friendly staff will welcome you and guide you through any necessary paperwork, including a brief health history form. Next, you’ll meet with one of our skilled chiropractors to discuss your concerns, goals, and overall health background.

A thorough physical examination follows, which may include posture assessments, range of motion tests, and other diagnostic methods to pinpoint the root cause of your discomfort. Based on these findings, your chiropractor will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. In many cases, you’ll receive your first adjustment during this visit, along with additional therapies such as muscle work or heat therapy, as appropriate.

Throughout the process, our team will explain each step, answer any questions you may have, and ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed. This approach lays the foundation for effective, long-term relief and supports your journey toward improved mobility and overall wellness.

Will a Chiropractic Adjustment Hurt?

Most people experience little to no discomfort during a chiropractic adjustment. The techniques our chiropractors use are designed to be gentle and safe, focusing on realigning joints and relieving pressure. If you have tense or sensitive areas, you may feel mild soreness afterward—similar to what you might experience after a new workout. This sensation typically fades quickly. Your comfort is our priority, so please communicate any concerns to your chiropractor, who can adjust the technique to suit your needs.

How Long Do I Have to Keep Seeing a Chiropractor for It to Work?

The duration of chiropractic care varies for each individual and depends on factors like the severity of your condition, your overall health, and your personal wellness goals. Some people may notice improvements after just a few visits, while others with chronic or long-standing issues may require more consistent, ongoing care. After your initial evaluation, your chiropractor will create a personalized treatment plan and discuss a recommended schedule with you. Many patients choose to continue periodic “maintenance” visits even after their primary concerns have resolved, as regular adjustments can help prevent future issues and support overall health.

Do I Have to Have X-Rays?

Not every chiropractic patient requires X-rays. Your chiropractor will determine if they’re necessary based on your specific situation—factors such as injury history, age, and the nature of your symptoms can play a role in this decision. In many cases, a thorough physical examination, health history review, and other diagnostic methods provide enough information to guide your treatment.

If X-rays are recommended, it’s usually to identify potential issues like bone fractures, arthritis, or other structural problems. This helps ensure your care is both safe and effective. Rest assured that your chiropractor will only suggest X-rays if they believe it will significantly contribute to a more accurate diagnosis and a targeted treatment plan.
