Frequently Asked Questions in Adams WI

Chiropractic is a specific manipulation of a bone or joint to assist in relief of pressure on soft tissues that typically result in dysfunction within the body. This is typically seen as a pain symptom or neurological symptom. Chiropractic is a dedicated study of neurology and the alignment of joints within the body focused on the role played in overall health and function. Chiropractic’s focus is on the total body, causation approach in comparison to the medical approach of symptom treatment.

Chiropractors typically treat musculoskeletal conditions. However, Chiropractors are actually nerve based doctors and have great success in treating nerve related conditions. However, most people seek out Chiropractors for aches and pains. But, do yourself a favor and ask your Chiropractor about ANY ailment and be surprised at the responses you get as Chiropractors are trained and educated in natural treatment for more than people realize.

An adjustment is typically a high speed, moderate force application to a joint within the body with intent on placing it back in a specific location. This can be done by hand or tools, depending upon the patient’s presenting condition and preferred method. If it is not specific, it is not Chiropractic.

Chiropractors have the lowest malpractice in the world due to the low possibility of occurrence of injury or exacerbation of symptoms. Chiropractors take specific steps to ensure limited risk of injury to the patient at the time of treatment. Chiropractic has fewer side effects than basic medications, such as ibuprofen.

Every case is different. Our team will properly assess your condition and take a managed approach with intent on getting you to a point of stability and comfortability with your complaint. It is your care and your health and the provider will make reasonable suggestions based upon your case and resulting presentation from treatment.

Most people experience symptom relief from their complaints. We see people go from limping to walking straight, numbness and tingling complaints disappear, headaches and migraines vanish, among a plethora of other results. Every benefit is different based upon the complaint but the simple answer is: Relief.

Typically, no. Appropriate steps are taken to ensure that pain is not present during treatment. However, this is case dependent. Someone with a lower pain tolerance will provide different feedback than another. This is why the use of certain tools is important and a proper examination, explanation, and approach is necessary.

Is brushing your teeth addictive? No. Brushing our teeth is something we understand has significant benefit long term even though there may not be an obvious reason for it each morning outside of our morning breath, such as obvious plaquing or decay. However, people brush their teeth daily to ensure the stability of their teeth and future use of them. You could, of course, not brush your teeth for 2 weeks but you will likely see the result being a negative one. This exact same thought process can be applied toward Chiropractic. You will simply begin to realize which problems can be solved by a Chiropractor and will be more likely to seek care for them in response to the fact you have seen the benefits and positive outcomes before.
