Frequently Asked Questions in Carmel IN

A chiropractor analyzes and detects spinal misalignments to relieve many pain and neurological conditions that people have. They also give instruction on exercise and ergonomics, to fix the problem, but also, to keep it from coming back.

People usually receive relief very quickly and some will only take a day to resolve. We treat many difficult cases, like Disc Herniations, so conditions like those can take closer to a month or two, to reach a point where a person can do any activity they want. But even those get relief quickly too.

The cost will vary state to state, but most visits are approximately $35-$50.

Our office personalizes care to help each patient accomplish their goals as quickly as possible. Our office treats, gives advice, and exercise instruction on how to resolve and prevent conditions from re-occurring.

Chiropractic adjustments have been shown to be much safer than taking long term anti-inflammatories. In a 2005 study in the Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology and Heptology, it was found that long term anti inflammatory use was responsible for 103,000 hospitalizations and 16,500 death per year. Chiropractic has proven over 100 years to be safer than most medications people take every day.

Popping is Nitic Oxide gas. You can't hear joints move and if bone was rubbing bone, a person couldn't be able to stand it. Adjustments are painless and safe. When joints "pop", like cracking knuckles, this is moving a joint in such a way to allow the gas out. If an actual adjustment hasn't occurred to properly line up the joint, the gas seeps back in within 20 seconds. This is why knuckle crackers, neck crackers, have to keep doing it frequently.
