Purely Chiropractic FAQ's
People before you have inquired about various topics. We created this page in a way that provides you vital information and allows you to make your own decision about what is right for you and your family’s health. If you have any other questions, please ask.
What is the purpose of Chiropractic?
Chiropractic’s purpose is to allow your body’s innate intelligence (power) to flow freely through your nerves and body without any interference thus allowing you to express maximum LIFE.
What is Innate Intelligence?
“Innate” is the inborn intelligence of the body.
Do Chiropractors refer to or consult with Medical Doctors?
We are always happy to discuss Chiropractic with others. Likewise, if there are any findings which require consultation with your Medical Doctor, we will let you know.
Is it okay to get my spine checked 2-3 days in a row?
When you are adjusted on successive days it is like placing money in the bank. The more money you have saved up, the more you have to withdraw when you need it.
What is the “cracking” sound I hear when I am adjusted?
The “cracking” sound is air releasing from your joints. Your bones are not breaking, rubbing against each other, or being damaged. In fact it is fully possible for an adjustment to occur properly without hearing a sound. Healthy spinal joints are bathed in a fluid keeping them lubricated like oil in your car. This allows them to move well, maintain an optimal position and keep your nerves free and clear of interference. When your spine is subluxated, the lubricating fluid is pushed out of the joint by air. The sound you hear is the air releasing. It is different from when you stretch or crack your knuckles. Those sounds come from your muscles or cartilage stretching or tearing.
I have heard the word subluxation many times now, what is it?
Sub*lux*a*tion is interference to your nerve(s).
How should I feel after an adjustment?
It is different for everyone. Most people feel a sensation of warmth. The warmth you feel is your body’s energy flowing through your nerves. Allow this to continue without any interference. If you feel sore realize that your body is adapting quickly and telling you it is actively healing. Others feel nothing at all. This means your body has accepted the adjustment just fine and needs time to jump start the healing process.
What can I or can’t I do while under Chiropractic care?
Do what you feel is appropriate. Be smart and listen to your body. Do what it tells you to do. You are the only one who can limit yourself.
What is an adjustment and what happens to my body during an adjustment?
An adjustment removes interference from your nerve system.
How safe is an adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments are the safest form of healthcare available. The CT dept of Public Health states that between the years 2000 and 2008, Chiropractors accounted for only 1% of all disciplinary actions taken. It is also well known that Chiropractors have the lowest malpractice premiums of any professional (healthcare or otherwise) which is a testament to the safety record of Chiropractic adjustments.
Do I have to get adjusted for the rest of my life?
Yes. Anything you don’t maintain breaks down in time. We care for the relationship with our spouse and children; we maintain our teeth and cars. Receive regular chiropractic adjustments for the health of it and to live a better life. How often you receive a check-up can be different for everyone. Regardless of how she feels, Dr. Angie receives weekly check-ups. It is your decision how you approach your care and we will take you as far as you want to go.
I want relief NOW; why is this taking longer than I want it to?
Chiropractic corrects subluxation and lets you heal your body. You heal the highest, most vital priorities first and then move onto the conscious symptom(s) we are seeking relief from. In other words, if your “back pain” doesn’t go away right away, there are likely one or more higher priorities for your body to handle first. Maybe you have an organic (heart, lung, etc) problem that you aren’t consciously aware of. Remember, the only difference between an acorn and an oak tree is time. All healing takes time.
Can Chiropractic help organic problems?
Yes. Your nerve system controls and co-ordinates your entire body including your organs. Subluxations interfere with normal nerve function between the brain and body. Chiropractors remove subluxations. Therefore a Chiropractor removes your subluxations allowing for the normal expression of the nerve system, re-connecting the brain and body aiding organic function and its healing.
My spouse, child, friend, co-worker, religious leader, etc has problem “X”, can Chiropractic help?
Yes. Chiropractic is non-condition based care. If they are subluxated, Chiropractic can help them. Refer them in for a complimentary exam that will discover if they are subluxated and we’ll offer advice as to the appropriate steps to take.
