How We Help

Laying the Foundation

Chiropractic care is like building a house. Certain things have to happen in a particular order for everything to work correctly. If you tried to put up walls without a solid foundation, they would eventually collapse. The same is true for your body. To heal properly, your body needs to follow a thoughtful plan of care that supports both immediate relief and long-term stability.

Laying the Foundation

Phase 1:

Relief Care

If you’re in pain when you arrive, our first goal is to help you feel better. Depending on the severity of your issue, this phase typically includes 2–3 visits per week for 4–12 weeks.

Phase 2:

Corrective/Restorative Care

This phase helps muscles and tissues heal more completely to reduce risk of re-injury. You may need care 4–8 times per month for 6–24 months, depending on your health and goals.

Phase 3:

Wellness Care

Once your body has stabilized, we recommend periodic visits to maintain progress and avoid future problems. Most patients benefit from 1–4 visits per month based on lifestyle and preferences.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you accept insurance?

Yes! We accept most major insurance plans including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial carriers. We’ll help verify your benefits.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?

No referral is needed. You can schedule your first visit directly with us.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your initial appointment includes a consultation, physical exam, and if appropriate, your first adjustment. We’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and care goals.

Does chiropractic care hurt?

Most patients feel relief right away, but it’s normal to feel mild soreness after your first few adjustments, similar to post-workout stiffness. We use techniques tailored to your comfort level.

Can chiropractic care help with more than back pain?

Yes! Patients often see improvements in headaches, joint pain, posture, sleep, and mobility. Every care plan is personalized.

Is chiropractic safe for children, pregnant women, and seniors?

Absolutely. Our team has training in age-appropriate techniques to support safe and effective care for all life stages.

What is the difference between chiropractic and massage?

Chiropractic focuses on joint alignment and nervous system function, while massage addresses soft tissues and muscle tension. Together, they offer well-rounded relief and recovery.

Can chiropractic care help with sports or work injuries?

Yes. We regularly work with athletes, desk workers, and laborers to recover from injuries, improve movement, and prevent strain-related issues.

Can I continue care while using the gym or spa?

Definitely. Many patients benefit from combining chiropractic with The Forge’s fitness programs or Oasis Spa’s recovery treatments. Ask us about coordinated plans.
