Is Chiropractic Treatment Safe?

No health treatment is entirely free of potential risks, but working with a licensed and experienced chiropractic doctor will produce the best results. Though most patients experience relief following their visit to the chiropractor, some may notice minor stiffness or soreness that fades within 24 hours.

How Do I Choose a Chiropractor?

Do I Need a Referral from an MD to Visit a Chiropractor?

It’s not required that you get a referral from your MD to book an appointment with a chiropractor.

Be sure to check the specifics of your health plan before booking your appointment.

Are Chiropractic Visits Covered by Insurance Plans?

Many health insurance plans include chiropractic care. Most major medical plans, federal Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, Medicare, and certain Medicaid plans include coverage for chiropractic work. Members of the military and veterans with federal health care plans are typically covered for the chiropractic care they need. It is best to confirm with your health insurance before pursuing treatment.

What Causes the ‘Popping’ Sounds During Adjustments?

Joint adjustments (and manipulations) sometimes result in the release of a gas bubble, causing a ‘popping’ noise. Most people are familiar with the sound of ‘cracking’ your knuckles, and this is no different. The sound may be accompanied by minimal discomfort, relief, or no particular sensation at all.
