Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

Most patients find adjustments comfortable and even relieving. You may hear popping sounds (gas releasing from joints), but this is normal and painless. Some patients experience mild soreness afterward, similar to post-workout soreness, which typically resolves within 24 hours. If you're nervous about traditional adjustments, we offer gentle low-force techniques that achieve results without cracking.

How many visits will I need?

This varies based on your condition, how long you've had it, and your goals. Acute injuries might require 6-12 visits over 4-6 weeks. Chronic conditions may need more extensive care. We'll provide a clear treatment plan after your initial exam and adjust as you progress. Our goal is to get you better with the minimum number of visits necessary.

Does insurance cover chiropractic care?

Most insurance plans include chiropractic coverage, though benefits vary. We accept Blue Cross, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and most major carriers. We'll verify your benefits before your first visit and explain what's covered. We also offer affordable self-pay rates for those without coverage.

Do I need a referral from my doctor?

In most states, including ours, chiropractors are portal-of-entry providers, meaning you can see us directly without a referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage. We can help you determine if your plan needs one.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes, when performed by a licensed chiropractor. Chiropractic is one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive treatments for back pain, neck pain, and headaches. Serious complications are extremely rare. We take a thorough health history and perform careful examination to ensure treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Athletic wear works great. You don't need to change clothes—we treat you fully clothed. Avoid wearing dresses or restrictive clothing that limits movement.

Can I be adjusted if I'm pregnant?

Absolutely! Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe and beneficial. We use specialized techniques and pregnancy pillows for your comfort. Many women find regular adjustments help with pregnancy-related back pain, hip pain, and other discomforts. Dr. Martinez is certified in the Webster Technique specifically for prenatal care.

Will I have to keep coming forever?

No. Our goal is to resolve your problem and teach you how to maintain results. Some patients choose to continue with periodic wellness visits after their condition improves, but this is completely optional. We'll never pressure you into unnecessary treatment.

What if chiropractic doesn't help my condition?

Most patients see significant improvement, but chiropractic isn't right for every condition. If we determine your problem would be better addressed by another provider, we'll refer you to the appropriate specialist. We work collaboratively with other healthcare providers to ensure you get the care you need.

Can you help with conditions other than back pain?

Yes! While we're known for treating back pain, chiropractic care is effective for neck pain, headaches, sciatica, sports injuries, joint pain, and many musculoskeletal conditions. We also see patients for wellness care and injury prevention. If you're unsure whether we can help, call us—we're happy to discuss your specific situation.
