Frequently Asked Questions

I help restore healthy movement in your spine and joints, reduce pain, and improve how your body functions.

Yes. Chiropractic is safe when performed by a registered professional. I adapt techniques to your needs, whether you’re an athlete, pregnant, or looking for relief from daily aches.

Most adjustments aren’t painful. Some people feel relief immediately, while others experience mild stiffness (like post-exercise soreness) that settles quickly.

Your first visit includes a detailed history, movement plus orthopedic/neuro screening, and a clear explanation of the likely diagnosis. If appropriate, I’ll start treatment the same day and give you a simple plan (self-care and exercises) to follow between sessions.

It depends on your case. Most straightforward issues improve over 3–4 sessions. We’ll review progress each visit and taper as symptoms improve.

Dry needling uses fine needles to release tight muscles and trigger points. It’s different from acupuncture and can help reduce pain and improve movement.

I use two approaches:
1) Standard dry needling (deep or superficial) to release trigger points and reduce muscle tone.
2) E-stim dry needling, where needles are inserted and connected to a low-current device to deliver specific frequencies. Different frequencies can be used to target relaxation, pain modulation, or circulation depending on your presentation.

For screened patients, E-stim dry needling is a safe practice. You may feel a gentle pulsing or tingling; and this type of needling results in less post-treatment soreness. It’s not used over broken skin, areas of infection, or near certain implants. People with pacemakers/defibrillators or specific medical conditions may not be candidates. I’ll assess suitability and discuss options before we start.

I commonly treat neck pain, whiplash, nerve pinching (radiculopathy), disc conditions, arthritis, tendon and ligament injuries, acute injuries from falls or trauma, sciatica, and a wide range of overuse injuries. Common overuse patterns include plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, iliotibial band (ITB) syndrome, patellar tendinopathy, hamstring tendinopathy, medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), rotator cuff tendinopathy, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, and tibialis posterior or peroneal tendinopathy.
