Why schedule monthly chiropractic adjustments?

Adjustments provide lubrication to the tiny joints of your spine that can otherwise stiffen up over time, eventually leading to arthritis

Improve sports performance in the way of mobility, speed and strength. Adjustments improve joint mobility, ligament alignment and affect and reset muscle spindles and corpuscles which allow them to be more responsive.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use multiple services together?

Our providers recommend using chiropractic, massage, and acupuncture in conjunction with each other. You can even schedule an adjustment before your after a massage or acupuncture appointment for a total self-care day! The relaxation after your massage or acupuncture might even help improve your adjustment.

Like any of our services used in isolation, make sure to hydrate before and after your appointments and ask your provider for recommendations for activities and workout the same day and days following.

Can I come in more or less frequently?

Everybody's body is different! For some people, wellness care means an appointment every 6-8 weeks and for others it means every 3-4 weeks. Your providers will work with you and your lifestyle to help you find the right frequency of care for you. If you need a tune up in or have an injury in between wellness appointments, call us!
