FAQ
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Yes! Adjustments performed by a licensed chiropractor are very safe. The most common side effect is mild soreness or aching after an adjustment, which typically resolves on its own.
Dr. Taylor will review your health history and perform a thorough exam before any adjustments to ensure there are no contraindications. She will also discuss any potential risks with you at your second appointment and answer all your questions.
Why Didn’t I Hear a Pop?
The “popping” sound is caused by the release of gas bubbles from the joint being adjusted. Whether or not you hear a pop depends on the presence of these bubbles, the adjustment type, and the technique used.
Why Would My Child Benefit from Being Adjusted?
An optimally functioning nervous system is beneficial at every age. Children are active and may experience falls or sports injuries that contribute to misalignments. Correcting these early helps reduce the chance of developing symptoms related to nervous system interference.
How Many Visits Will I Need?
It depends! Longer-standing misalignments usually take more time to correct. After your first visit, Dr. Taylor will have a better understanding of your specific needs and goals and will develop a personalized care plan to discuss with you at your second visit.
Do You Take Insurance?
Vitality Chiropractic is a cash-based practice. This allows us to focus on what’s best for your health rather than insurance limitations. We will provide you with forms to submit for insurance reimbursement if you wish. Various in-house payment options are also available and will be reviewed with you at your second visit and at progress exams. If you ever have questions about your payment options, please let us know!
Can You Treat Me if I Have Medicare?
Currently, Vitality Chiropractic does not treat Medicare beneficiaries. Dr. Taylor is not registered with Medicare, and under current regulations, unregistered chiropractors are prohibited from treating Medicare patients. If you have Medicare and are interested in chiropractic care, we would be happy to refer you to a registered chiropractor nearby!
