What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic focuses on improving overall health by correcting spinal subluxations and restoring nervous system function.
Since the nervous system controls all other body systems—like respiratory, digestive, and musculoskeletal—chiropractic care helps the body heal beyond just pain.
Dr. Megan and Dr. Z use a gentle and effective approach, making it safe for the entire family. Regular adjustments support your body’s natural ability to thrive.
What is a subluxation?
A subluxation is a misalignment in the spine that puts tension on the nerves exiting the spinal cord.
This tension can limit movement and disrupt how the nervous system communicates with the body, impacting overall function.
Causes include injury, poor posture, or genetics. Correcting subluxations helps restore balance and support optimal health.
How long until I see results?
Everyone responds differently. Some feel relief after the first adjustment, while others take weeks or months.
Healing takes time, consistency, and patience.
Dr. Megan tailors care to each patient, ensuring the best possible outcomes for their condition and goals.
Does getting adjusted hurt?
Most people find adjustments comfortable and relieving. Dr. Megan uses gentle techniques to release tension in the nervous system.
Mild soreness can occur as toxins are released from the spine and tissues. Staying hydrated after adjustments helps flush these toxins out.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes! Chiropractic is safe and effective during pregnancy. Dr. Megan is Webster certified and has advanced training in perinatal care.
With specialized techniques, including pregnancy pillows and adjustable tables, care is tailored to ensure both safety and comfort for moms-to-be.
Why would a baby or child need a chiropractor?
Birth can cause stress on a baby’s nervous system, especially during long labors, medicated deliveries, or cesareans.
This trauma can kick a child’s nervous system into fight-or-flight mode, affecting sleep, nursing, digestion, and overall behavior.
Gentle adjustments address spinal nerve stress, promoting better health and development in infants and children.
Once I see a chiropractor, do I have to go forever?
Our goal is to restore and maintain optimal nervous system function. Many patients choose to continue with periodic check-ups for long-term health benefits.
