Frequently Asked Questions

  • After completing your intake forms, your doctor of chiropractic will complete a thorough history in order to better understand your current complaint(s), other health concerns, as well as your overall health status.

    He/She will then conduct a focused physical exam to further help them determine the cause of your complaint.

    After a diagnosis has been established, your chiropractor will explain it to you and discuss the various treatment/management options available.

    Your informed consent to treatment will be obtained before treatment begins.

  • Chiropractic adjustment is a manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed during the doctor of chiropractic’s intensive years of chiropractic education.

    The chiropractic physician typically uses his or her hands--or an instrument--to manipulate the joints of the body to restore or enhance joint function.

    This helps to resolve joint inflammation reducing pain and increasing joint mobility and nerve function.

    Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure and is adapted to meet the specific needs of each patient.

  • If aching joints and muscle pain are affecting your ability to get through the day and keeping you away from your favorite activities, consider chiropractic care.

    Work, accidents, sports injuries, household chores, even the stress of daily living can cause painful joint and back problems.

    Even if you do not have painful symptoms, chiropractic care can help you maintain healthy spine and joint function.

  • Following three years of university education, chiropractors acquire their skills through a rigorous four-year, full -time accredited academic program including internship.

  • Many Chiropractors, including All Well Life Chiropractic, treat children and babies.

    In fact, some parents bring their children in for visits shortly after birth. If you wait until your child gets older, you may notice they have neck or back pain.

    These are common complaints regardless of whether your kids lead active or sedentary lifestyles.

    Active kids can knock their spine out of alignment as they run, jump, or fall. Kids who log plenty of screen time often experience neck pain or aches in their wrists.

    So, yes, chiropractic care is appropriate for children.

  • X-rays can play an important role in diagnosis. They are only taken when a need has been determined after completing a patient’s case history and conducting a physical examination.

    Due to their training and competence, chiropractors have been granted the right to take and interpret X-rays.
