What a chiropractic adjustment actually does

A joint that is not moving freely makes the joints around it work harder and can irritate nearby nerves. An adjustment applies a controlled, specific force to that joint to restore its normal movement. With movement restored, the surrounding muscles and nerves settle. The adjustment is precise and quick, and it is matched to your size, age and comfort.

What we treat with chiropractic care

We use chiropractic care for the problems below, each linking to its condition page where one exists.

How your first visit works

Your first visit takes about 45 minutes and has four steps. First, a consultation with Dr. Getzik about your pain and history. Second, a comprehensive examination. Third, x-rays where the examination points to a problem imaging will change the plan for. Fourth, a clear report of what we found and what we recommend. See your first visit in detail.

The techniques we use

We use manual adjustment, where the adjustment is delivered by hand, as the standard approach. For older patients, children and anyone nervous about manual work, we also use low-force and instrument-assisted options that deliver the same goal with less force. Nothing happens without being explained first. You can choose the approach you are comfortable with.

Chiropractic care for your whole family

We provide pediatric chiropractic for children using gentle, low-force techniques suited to their size. We provide prenatal chiropractic using techniques adapted for pregnancy. We make no claims about conditions unrelated to the spine. The approach is always matched to the person in front of us, and everything is explained before it begins.

What chiropractic care costs here

The new patient special is $49. It includes a new patient consultation, a comprehensive examination, a full set of chiropractic x-rays and one chiropractic adjustment. Offer not valid for Medicare, Medicaid, TRICARE, VA or other government health plan patients. Our front desk checks your benefits before your first visit and tells you what to expect, and CareCredit is available to spread the cost. See our pricing and insurance page for the full breakdown.
