Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

questions on Chiropractic

  • Is Chiropractic safe?

    Yes. Chiropractic is a safe and effective form of conservative health care. Statistics show that patient risk is substantially lower with chiropractic than with alternative methods such as drugs or surgery. This is based on the fact that chiropractic is natural and reactions are much more predictable than reactions to drugs.

  • What should I expect my first time?

    After completing a patient intake form, the chiropractor will take you to an exam room where a comprehensive history and physical examination will be performed. Your condition and plan of care will be explained and all questions will be addressed. Most conditions are resolved within a short treatment period but all conditions are different. You will NEVER be asked to sign up for a long-term treatment plan at the onset of your care. Our goal is to help you attain and maintain wellness with the least amount of chiropractic care necessary.

  • How are chiropractic adjustments performed?

    Chiropractic adjustments (or manipulations) can be performed in different ways. Our chiropractors use both low force adjustments (drop table, activator and motion assisted) or highly precise movements delivered manually. Choice of adjustment type is explained in the initial visit and depends greatly upon each patient’s case and presenting symptoms. This variety allows our chiropractors to resolve impairments while still giving the patient maximal comfort.

  • Do the chiropractors take x-rays of all patients?

    No. X-rays will only be ordered if it is determined they are medically necessary for diagnostic purposes.

  • Do I have to have a referral from a medical doctor to get chiropractic treatment?

    No. Chiropractors are considered first contact physicians. After the history intake and physical examination, our doctors will determine a diagnosis and will either consult with the patient about chiropractic treatment or refer the patient to an appropriate health care provider.

  • Do adjustments hurt?

    Usually, adjustments do not hurt and often times give immediate relief. Our chiropractors’ goal is to make the adjustments as effective and comfortable as possible. Depending on how serious a patient’s condition may be, some may feel temporary discomfort that disperses quickly and is followed by relaxation. Soreness can also be present the day after an adjustment and is often compared to “work out” soreness. Side effects can vary, but are usually minimal.

  • Does my insurance cover Chiropractic Care?

    Our clinics accept most insurance plans. Call your insurance provider to understand your chiropractic health benefits.

  • I’ve heard that once I see a chiropractor, I have to continue Chiropractic care for the rest of my life. Is that true?

    Many things in life require maintenance and attention…the body is no exception. Do you need an appointment every week for the rest of your life? Absolutely not. Each person’s history, daily routines and physical traits differ and so will their health care. Our chiropractors believe that everyone should be in control of their own health and wellness. Chiropractic can be a helpful part of your medical “team”. It can help to provide you with the healthy and full life you wish to live by reducing recurrence of existing health injuries and minimizing new injuries. Total wellness is the goal.

  • What is the point of a multidisciplinary clinic?

    Simply put, clear communication between all of your health care providers. By providing Physical Therapy and Chiropractic care in one facility, frequent communication improves efficiency and effectiveness in getting you better.

    In the last four years, I have had four different injuries which Jared has treated me for he has fantastic. I must confess he is the best physical therapist I have ever had. He is a great listener and highly skilled at what he does. With many different injuries I’ve sustained he listens and tests carefully and comes up with a plan. He is incredibly observant, with my foot injury he noted my walking gate was off and helped me correct it so I can avoid future injury. Everything he has done has helped me recovery 100% and more.

    Dave Andrews is Mr. Magic! He knows more than my orthopedist, I swear. This is the 3rd time I have needed him and the 3rd time he performed his magic to make things better. And I trusted my athletes to him and they loved his work to get them back on the court/mat! Thanks for being there, Dave.

    NIPT is a very friendly team and my physical therapist there, Sky Pruitt, helped me get back to normal after both a bad shoulder with torn labral cartilage and then later a bad knee. He was encouraging knowledgeable and very competent and I never could have come through those episodes without his help. I highly recommend NIPT and Sky Pruitt to anyone in need of help with physical recovery of any kind.

    Due to an automobile accident many years ago, I have regularly used the services of chiropractors and massage therapists, some good and some not so good, so I speak from experience. I have just started using the services of Suzette Barr, LMT, and I must say she is up there with the best! I highly recommend her to anyone in need of a massage. I will continue to be her client as long as she is available.

    I discovered Daryl close to a year ago and have definitely been a repeat customer ever since. His extensive knowledge of how the body works is apparent in his ability to quickly understand my bumbling description of ‘where it hurts’. He listens to exactly what I feel I need and makes additional suggestions for improvement. He may be soft spoken but he certainly delivers an incredibly effective massage!

    My son, Ryan, sought therapy for overall weakness, abdominal and shoulder pain and the inability to walk. Since starting with NIPT, he has experienced a noticeable increase in strength. He loves working in the pool. Progress has been slow and Ryan is not fully walking yet, but Bradley, Justin, Stephanie and Mishelle have all been so unfailingly kind and patient through the process.

    How fortunate it was for me that I was afraid to Kristoff at NIPT I’ve had chronic low back pain for decades and after a recent failed surgery that made it worse and hurt my mobility quite a lot. Kristoff helped me in 15 sessions more than I ever thought possible. I’ve been other physical therapist over the years, but Kristoffs knowledge and understanding of my muscular skills situation was impressive. Now I’m stronger and more mobile, I’m in far less pain and have a realistic exercise path laid out for me that will bring me even better results. Without that providential referral to Kristoff, there is no way I would be where I am. He is a solid professional pleasure to work with, and I recommend him with high praise.
