Questions Answered
Congratulations on wanting to learn more about living well!
I am honored that you’re taking the time to investigate us
on your journey towards health and well-being!
1. What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health science based on correcting interference in the nervous system via the spine. This interference is caused by accumulated and current physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments remove that interference so your body will function at its optimum potential. (That means you will be the best YOU ever!)
2. What is an adjustment?
A specific, non-invasive “thrust” delivered by hand which is called a “manual adjustment.” It’s fast and non-painful. The purpose of the adjustment is to remove nerve interference from your body.
3. Will my adjustment hurt?
No! Occasionally you may experience very brief discomfort at the time of the adjustment. Most all you will feel is a highly effective, quick pressure and possibly hear a sound like a “pop.” Most people agree that adjustments feel good! The technique or style of adjusting used is tailored to each person- their history and their preference. Some people prefer not to hear the “pop,” most often in the neck. Not to worry; Dr. Natalie can use her specialized table or a spring loaded tool called an Activator to adjust instead. When adjusting children, especially babies, gentle, specific pressure is used to adjust their spine. Think of the amount of pressure used to check the ripeness of a tomato – that’s all it takes!
4. Can you help my sick child?
I help lots of children, which makes their parents rave about their healthy child. Children respond incredibly well to chiropractic care. Schedule an appointment to have your child checked to see if I can help them!
5. How many times do I have to come?
That’s easy . . . . come as often as you want to heal, feel great, defy age, and live pain-free! Because each individual is unique on every level, it’s difficult to know how many times you will need to be adjusted in order to reach each of your health goals. For practical purposes, we can estimate your initial schedule, but that is subject to change according to your rate of progress and goals. One thing is for sure: YOUR goals and expectations will determine your care plan – frequency and duration.
6. Will I feel better after getting adjusted?
Your care is unique to YOU, and how your body heals and responds is also unique. Most people are very happy with the results of chiropractic care. Many of them feel relief from pain almost immediately after an adjustment. It’s also possible that the pain may require several adjustments to fade. Rarely, a small percentage of people may experience a temporary increase in their symptoms before they start to get better. No matter what course your recovery takes, you should also know that beyond the removal of your symptoms, chiropractic care offers an opportunity for much greater overall health, if you choose to use it for that purpose as well.
7. Will chiropractic care be expensive?
That depends on how you define “expensive.” At Renewed Strength Family Chiropractic and Wellness you are always in control of your finances, we won’t spend a dime of your money without your permission. Is it going to require more of your money than an over-the-counter or prescription drug? Probably so. Is it as expensive as surgery or a life surrendered to drugs and their side effects? NO! Considering the benefits, the experience at this office, the all-inclusiveness of our services, and the cost of providing you with the best health care, our fees are very reasonably priced. We have an array of financial options so you can save money on the care you deserve. Ask us for details. Investing in your health is of priceless value because without your health, not much else matters. When you’re unhealthy you can’t work, your relationships suffer, you miss out on life’s opportunities, and you’re robbed of fully experiencing this world.
8. What services do you offer?
We offer the most personalized supportive chiropractic care possible beginning as early as birth. Dr. Natalie will also work hand-in-hand with Dr. Aubrey at times to help address a patient’s well-being from all aspects – physical, emotional and spiritual. Along with being a valued member of this practice, you also gain a true community of practice members who care about their health and the well-being of those around them, to encourage and support you on your own journey toward well-being!
9. How long will it take to get adjusted?
Even the busiest of our practice members commit to making chiropractic care a priority in their lives and find the benefits well worth their time. Your adjustment may take between ten to fifteen minutes. That’s it! If however, you want to schedule extra time, one-on-one to talk about a particular issue, just ask and we will schedule appropriately.
10. What if I feel fine? Do I need to keep coming back?
That is always up to you. The truth is that those who stop care when they are “feeling fine” often return later with the same problem, only it’s sometimes worse. On the other hand, those that commit to regular care find their problem rarely returns: as well, they enjoy a higher quality of life and health. If regular chiropractic care keeps you “feeling fine”, why would you choose to stop doing what’s working for you? It’s kind of like this: if your teeth feel fine, do you stop brushing them?
