The Science Behind Chiropractic Medicine
Chiropractic medicine prioritizes spinal alignment and proactively protects the nervous system so the body can heal itself and you can stay active.
What Is Chiropractic Care?
In chiropractics, professionals diagnose spinal misalignment concerns, especially vertebral misalignments. Then, they can adjust their patients’ spines through specific manipulation techniques to improve joint mobility and correct the position of the vertebrae. This, in turn, allows people to experience less chronic and acute pain, have a wider range of mobility, and reduce their overall inflammation and stress to promote more natural healing.

- Pain relief that addresses the source of joint pain

Chiropractic FAQs
When should I schedule a chiropractic appointment?
Schedule a chiropractic appointment if you feel pain along your back or neck or if any of your joints feel stiff. You can also go to a chiropractor if you have a limited range of motion.
Who should see a chiropractor?
Almost anyone can see a chiropractor to experience relief from:
- Headaches
- Limited joint mobility
- Chronic or acute pain in their neck, back, or other joints
If you’ve recently been in a car accident or been injured, you can also consider seeing a chiropractor for an evaluation of your joints and injuries.
How many appointments will I need?
How many appointments you need will depend on your conditions and the outcomes you want to achieve. Your chiropractor may recommend two or three visits a week for the first month of treatment, after which weekly or monthly appointments can help. You and your chiropractor will set a schedule based on how your body responds to treatment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
It’s best to wear loose, comfortable clothing to a chiropractor. Choose clothing that will maximize your range of motion, and don’t wear accessories, such as thick necklaces, that could interfere with adjustments.
Is there anything I should do to prepare?
Before your first chiropractic appointment or evaluation, you should:
- Gather documents relating to your medical injury or specific injuries and/or conditions
- Wear comfortable clothing that won’t restrict movement
- Stay hydrated
- Arrive early so you can complete paperwork
Is chiropractic care covered by insurance?
Anti-Aging & Regenerative Associates does not accept insurance for chiropractic services to prioritize patient care and reduce administrative burdens. By operating outside the constraints of insurance companies, they can offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs, without being restricted by insurance guidelines. This approach allows for more comprehensive care, focusing on long-term wellness rather than short-term symptom management. Additionally, by eliminating the complexities of insurance billing, the practice can streamline operations, reduce overhead costs, and maintain transparent pricing, ensuring patients receive high-quality care without unexpected expenses.
How should I feel after seeing a chiropractor?
Immediately following a chiropractic session, you may experience pain relief, a bigger range of motion, and an improved sense of well-being. Depending on the adjustments, you may also feel some soreness or fatigue.
Will there be an immediate difference?
You may experience immediate but temporary relief. While each session can bring benefits, chiropractic adjustments generally require multiple sessions and maintenance for optimal results.
Choose the Best Chiropractor for Your Needs
Chiropractic care can offer pain relief and a return to healthier, more comfortable movement. By choosing the right chiropractor for your needs, you can more easily see health and wellness improvements. Consider factors like how close the office is to your home, the chiropractor’s experience, and the additional services they offer as you search for your chiropractor.
