What is a chiropractic adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, hands-on nudge that helps realign your spine and restore movement in stuck joints. Imagine it like a reboot for your nervous system—suddenly your body starts working the way it was meant to again. Less pain, better posture, more energy. That’s the magic of getting aligned.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes—chiropractic is one of the safest forms of natural healthcare out there. We use specific, controlled techniques based on your unique needs. No guessing, no unnecessary force. Just personalized care that puts your safety (and results) first.

How many visits will I need?

That depends on you—your goals, lifestyle, and how long the issue has been there. Some feel relief in a few visits, others need longer to correct and stabilize. But don’t worry—we’ll walk you through a clear care plan so you’re never left wondering.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic does more than help with back and neck pain. It can improve your sleep, boost your energy, sharpen your focus, and help your body handle stress better. Because when your spine is in alignment, your whole system—from muscles to mood—runs better. It’s about feeling great and functioning even better.

Are there any risks?

Like any healthcare, there’s a small chance of soreness after an adjustment—kind of like after a new workout. But serious risks? Extremely rare. We take your history, lifestyle, and comfort level seriously and adjust accordingly.

Do adjustments hurt?

Nope. In fact, most patients say, “That felt amazing!” Adjustments are quick, precise, and surprisingly gentle. If you’re nervous about the sound or sensation, we’ve got options—like instrument-based adjustments with zero popping.

Why should I choose Embrace Life Chiropractic?

Because we care deeply—and it shows. We don’t rush, we listen, and we focus on you as a whole person. Our space is vibrant, our team is dialed in, and our care is rooted in results. Families in our care live healthier, safer, and more vibrant lives—and we’d love for you to be one of them.

How long is a chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit takes about 45–60 minutes—plenty of time for a full consult, exam, and digital X-rays if needed. After that, your regular visits are a breeze: 5–10 minutes and you’re back to your day, aligned and ready to go.

How are chiropractors trained?

Chiropractors complete 7–8 years of education, including thousands of hours in anatomy, neurology, radiology, and hands-on clinical care. We pass rigorous board exams and continue training long after graduation. In short: we’re spine and nervous system nerds—and proud of it.

Can pregnant women get adjusted?

Absolutely! In fact, we recommend it. Chiropractic during pregnancy helps relieve back and hip pain, supports baby’s positioning, and may even help with smoother deliveries. We use pregnancy-safe techniques and custom pillows so you and baby are totally comfortable.

Is chiropractic care addictive?

Only in the “I feel amazing and want to keep this up” kind of way. You’re always in control. Many patients choose to keep getting adjusted because they notice they sleep better, move easier, and just feel more alive. That’s not addiction—it’s alignment.

What’s that cracking sound during an adjustment?

That “pop” is just air releasing from the joint as it moves—kind of like when you crack your knuckles. It’s called a cavitation, and it’s totally normal (and harmless). If it weirds you out, we’ve got quieter, “no-pop” methods too.

Can I adjust myself?

You might twist and hear a crack, but that’s not a true adjustment. Chiropractors are trained to find the exact joint that needs help and move it the right way, safely and effectively. DIY just doesn’t cut it here—leave it to the pros.

Is chiropractic covered by insurance?

Yes, many insurance plans cover chiropractic care—and we’re happy to check your benefits for you. No coverage? No stress. We offer affordable cash plans and family bundles so you can get the care you need without breaking the bank.
