Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. It has an excellent safety record. The risks associated with chiropractic adjustments are low and mild side effects — such as temporary soreness — are far less serious than risks associated with many medications or surgeries.

Absolutely! We treat anyone with a spine. Our gentle techniques are specifically adapted for infants, children, and expectant mothers at every stage of pregnancy. Pediatric adjustments use extremely gentle, fingertip-level pressure — completely safe and often remarkably effective for colic, ear infections, and growing pains.

No, you don't have to — but many patients choose to continue with maintenance visits because they feel so much better. Think of it like the gym: you don't have to exercise, but you'll feel significantly better if you do. We'll set clear treatment goals with you from day one and track your progress. When you've reached your goals, that's exactly what we'll tell you.

We treat a wide range of conditions including low back pain, neck pain, sciatica, migraines and headaches, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, plantar fasciosis, and more. For children and infants, we treat colic, torticollis, digestive difficulties, growing pains, ear infections, and bed wetting. If you're unsure whether we can help, just call — we're happy to discuss your specific situation.

Most patients notice meaningful improvement within 5–7 visits. Many experience some relief after their very first appointment. The exact timeline depends on your condition, its chronicity, and your body's individual response to treatment. We'll set realistic expectations at your first appointment and adjust your plan as you progress.

Yes. Live Well Chiropractic accepts all major insurance plans and works directly with your insurance company to maximise your benefits. We accept all major debit and credit cards, as well as HSA and FSA cards. If you're unsure about your coverage, call us and we'll help you figure it out before your first visit.

Your first visit includes a thorough consultation and health history review, a physical examination, and on-site digital X-rays if clinically indicated — all without leaving our office. Most patients receive their first treatment on that very same day. We encourage you to download and complete our intake forms before you arrive to make the process faster and smoother.

Absolutely. Pediatric chiropractic care uses very gentle, low-force techniques specifically designed for developing bodies. We regularly treat infants as young as a few weeks old and children of all ages. Parents often notice improvements in colic, fussiness, sleep quality, and immune function after just a few sessions.

Most adjustments are painless or only mildly uncomfortable. You may hear a "popping" sound — this is simply gas being released from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles, and is completely harmless. Some patients experience mild soreness for 24–48 hours after their first few adjustments, similar to post-exercise muscle soreness. This is normal and resolves quickly.

We regularly treat patients recovering from auto accidents. Whiplash and soft-tissue injuries from car accidents often respond exceptionally well to chiropractic care. We can work directly with auto insurance companies, and we're experienced in documenting injuries for personal injury claims. Please call us as soon as possible after an accident — early treatment leads to better outcomes.
