How long, how often, and what we do not claim
How long and how often
Your chiropractor sets how often after the exam. Soreness after a visit is common and usually brief, and we don't promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
Neck adjustments carry rare serious risks, which your doctor explains before any adjustment. We don't claim this care treats a disease.
How it is paid
Plans differ on what they pay for spinal care. We check first, and if you pay yourself you get a written estimate before you come.

Is a neck adjustment safe?

Will I be adjusted at my first visit?
Only if the exam shows it fits your plan and you agree.
