What are the requirements of becoming a Chiropractor?

In order to become a chiropractor, you must attend a chiropractic doctoral program that is typically 10 semesters that are completed in just under 4 years. The education is equivalent to that of a medical doctor, however there is a greater emphasis on supporting the body to heal itself. Medical doctors learn how to prescribe medication and/or how to perform surgery.

Can Chiropractic treatment help with ear infections?

Chiropractors cannot claim to cure or heal ear infections directly. However, they are capable of improving lymphatic flow and improving circulation around the ear which often prevents ear infections or reduces the severity of an active infection.

Can I bring my child for an adjustment? What is the earliest age?

Chiropractic is considered safe and effective for adolescents and even infants. We encourage starting kids early and exposing them to chiropractic to help them tackle the challenges of growing. Treatment for a child is slightly different than an adult. Growth plates don't typically fuse until a child is 14 to 18 years old. Chiropractic care can help facilitate the body's ability to adapt to the stresses of growth.

Will Chiropractic treatment relieve my headaches?

Chiropractic care has been shown to provide significant relief in patients that suffer from headaches. There are many causes for different types of headaches, which can be determined through an initial appointment. Addressing the muscles, bones, and nerves in the head and neck can be very helpful in the management of chronic headaches.

How long do I need to come for treatments?

The length of a treatment plan is determined by a patient's complaints, health history, response to treatment, and health-driven goals. We develop treatment plans on an individual basis- not all bodies are the same! A patient's accountability for at-home care also dictates the frequency and need for treatment. At Body Logic, we recommend chiropractic care to be a part of your lifestyle.
