Once I begin chiropractic care, do I need to keep coming back?

That's entirely up to you. Lots of patients, when they get better, understand how chiropractic care is helping them and why maintenance is important. Many patients will say, "I never thought I could feel this good." Once patients realize how good they can feel, they generally don't want to go back to the way they felt before chiropractic.

Have you seen patients like this before, with the same condition?

Typically, the answer is yes. I treat patients of both genders, all ages, and with a range of conditions, typically with a very high success rate. I feel very comfortable telling you that, yes, we've treated it before, and we were successful.

How long will it take to feel relief?

It depends. Many factors can affect your recovery, including how long the condition has been going on, how old you are, what activities you do outside the office, and whether you commit to doing the exercises we give you. We can't say for certain how long your care will last, but we do our best to help you heal as fast as we can. We see you as an individual and you'll get the individualized care you deserve.

What is spinal decompression therapy and how does it work?

Spinal decompression therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-surgical treatment that uses a specialized table to gently create negative pressure inside the spinal disc. This reverse vacuum effect draws bulging or herniated disc material back toward the center, reduces pressure on compressed nerves, and promotes nutrient-rich fluid into the disc to accelerate healing.

Is spinal decompression effective for sciatica?

Yes. Sciatica is most commonly caused by a herniated or bulging disc pressing on the sciatic nerve. Spinal decompression directly addresses that root cause by reducing disc pressure and allowing the nerve to heal. At our clinic, the majority of sciatica patients experience significant relief within their first several weeks of treatment, with many avoiding surgery entirely.
