Care
Adjustment
A short, hands-on technique your doctor uses on the joints of your spine, hips and ribs. It is one tool in a visit, and some visits use none.
What to expect

What a visit includes
A talk about your training week, a movement check, and the adjustment only if it fits what was found and you agree. Your doctor tells you what to expect, and the risks, before it begins.

You can stop or say no at any point
A parent or guardian agrees for anyone under 18
An itemized receipt
How long and how often
An adjustment takes a few minutes of a 30 to 45 minute visit. How often is your doctor's call, made at the exam and at each recheck. We do not promise a number of visits.
What we do not claim
An adjustment does not fix a training error, and we do not claim it prevents injury or improves your times. Results vary, and some people feel no change.
We do not say care is free of risk
We do not replace your physician or athletic trainer
When to see a physician first
Rare serious problems have been reported after neck adjustments, so your doctor explains the risks before any neck adjustment. See a physician first about a sudden severe headache or neck pain, new weakness or numbness, or chest pain.
A visit is billed to your plan if we work with it, or paid at the visit. The fees page shows how.
Questions about this care
Is chiropractic care safe?
Every kind of care has risks. Soreness after an adjustment is common and usually short. Rare serious problems have been reported after neck adjustments, so your doctor explains the risks before any neck adjustment, and you can say no to any part of a visit.
Will it hurt?
Most people feel pressure, not pain, and some feel sore afterward. We stop whenever you ask.
Do I need x-rays?
Only when medically necessary. We explain why before we take one, and you can say no.
