Chiropractic Care

At Chiropractic of Melissa, we offer chiropractic care, a healthcare discipline focused on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine. Our approach is based on the principle that proper alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure enables the body to heal itself without the need for surgery or medication.

Our chiropractors utilize hands-on spinal manipulation and other alternative treatments to address issues related to the spine, joints, and muscles. This form of care is effective in relieving pain in muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue, such as cartilage, ligaments, and tendons.

Conditions We Treat:

  • Back Pain
  • Neck Pain
  • Headaches and Migraines
  • Sciatica
  • Joint Pain
  • Sports Injuries
  • Postural Issues

One of the primary goals of chiropractic care is to restore mobility to joints that have been restricted due to tissue injury. These injuries can result from traumatic events like falls or repetitive stress from improper posture. By manipulating the spine and other musculoskeletal structures, our team helps patients regain function, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.

Chiropractic Care FAQ's

The frequency of chiropractic visits varies based on your specific needs. Initially, you might visit 2-3 times a week for acute or chronic issues. As you improve, this usually reduces to once a week, then to bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance. Your chiropractor will create a customized plan to support your recovery and long-term health. Regular visits help maintain progress and prevent future problems.
Chiropractic adjustments are considered safe when conducted by a licensed chiropractor. Most patients may feel minor discomfort, such as temporary soreness, but serious side effects are uncommon. To maximize your safety, it’s important to discuss your full medical history and any existing health issues with your chiropractor. This information helps them tailor your treatment for the best possible outcome.

Chiropractic treatment is effective for various conditions, particularly acute and chronic back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and certain headaches. Research supports its role as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for musculoskeletal issues. However, effectiveness can vary by individual and condition. Our chiropractor will personalize your care to best address your specific needs.

In most cases, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor, as they are primary healthcare providers and can be accessed directly. However, some insurance plans or specific medical conditions may require a referral, so it’s a good idea to check with your insurance provider or healthcare plan before your visit.

Insurance coverage for chiropractic care varies depending on your plan and provider. Most major medical plans offer some benefits for chiropractic services. We recommend checking your plan’s specifics with your insurance provider. Our clinic accepts various insurance plans, and we can help verify your benefits to clarify what is covered before you begin treatment. However, if you don’t have health insurance, we offer affordable self pay rates.

A typical chiropractic session usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes. The length can vary based on your treatment plan, the complexity of your condition, and whether it’s your first visit or a follow-up. Your chiropractor will adjust the appointment duration to meet your specific needs effectively.
The results of chiropractic care can vary from person to person. Some patients may feel immediate relief after their first session, while others might require multiple visits to notice significant improvements. Acute issues typically resolve faster, while chronic conditions may take longer to address. Our chiropractor will work with you to set realistic expectations based on your individual condition and treatment plan.
Absolutely! Chiropractic adjustments can help enhance nerve function by correcting misalignments in the spine that may be compressing nerves. When the spine is properly aligned, it allows for better nerve communication and reduces interference. This can lead to decreased pain and improved mobility for many individuals.
