Frequently Asked Questions

What is an adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is given to align the subluxation (a bone out of place that puts pressure on the nerve system) to take pressure off the spinal cord and nerves. This restores proper nerve supply to the body’s organs and allows for normal body function. An optimum functioning spine equals optimum health. Dr. Aaron has a gentle approach to the adjustment process.

How does an adjustment feel and how long will it take?

Patients report that being adjusted feels great. An adjustment takes only a minute or two, but the vital nerve energy it releases can last for hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the stage of your care.

What research has been done on chiropractic care?

Literally thousands of health studies, including research by the U.S. government, have shown that chiropractic care is beneficial in maximizing health, boosting immunity, relieving the symptoms of sickness and disease, and restoring normal function back to the body.

Is chiropractic safe?

While 2,000 people die from aspirin this year and thousands more from surgery and drug reactions, chiropractic is safe. It’s so safe, malpractice for chiropractors costs a fraction of what other types of physicians pay.

Can a chiropractor help if I have been in an auto accident?

Absolutely. Chiropractors are experts in taking care of the spine and nerve system. It has been well documented that your spine can be injured in a car accident at speeds as low as 7 miles per hour! If you or someone you know has been injured in an auto accident, don’t wait until the pain is unbearable. The longer you wait, the worse the problem will get. Give our office a call and we will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Can I adjust myself?

Even chiropractors need chiropractors to adjust them. The worst spines are those of people who manipulate their own spines. An adjustment moves a specific spinal bone in a specific direction. Chiropractors are the only people trained to make a specific, scientific chiropractic adjustment.

Do you accept insurance?

Our office provides affordable, accessible chiropractic care. While we do not bill health insurance directly, we do provide a receipt with all necessary information that can be submitted to your insurance company directly. We offer a number of affordable plans. We definitely have the plan that’s right for you.

Why don’t more chiropractors practice like you?

Most chiropractors don’t know this model of care even exists. Most chiropractors follow the management gurus who teach them the “Chiropractic Dance” of high fees and expensive care plans. I have simply found a way to deliver regular chiropractic care at affordable fees and help people come up to a level of health they haven’t been able to reach. Often, this is because of the huge expense of care at other offices or insurance benefits running out. My philosophy is that I would rather serve more individuals and families at an affordable fee than less people for a higher fee.

Does chiropractic care really work?

It has been working for over a hundred years. Chiropractic care continues to work for my practice members. I invite you to talk with some of the people who have achieved an improvement in various areas of their lives by using chiropractic care as a health maximization tool.

Should children & babies see a chiropractor?

Yes, having your babies and kids checked by a chiropractor is very important since babies get out of alignment during the birthing process. I have been taking care of children for over 10 years and I am happy to see the difference chiropractic has made in their lives.

The weight of a dime sitting on a nerve can decrease that nerve’s messages up to 70%. That means your child, left uncorrected, may only be functioning at 30% of their potential. Every parent wants to do what is right for their child and chiropractic is essential for the proper growth and development of our children.

In this office, you and your child will learn about the power that lies within your body, the amazing power that heals, grows, develops, and coordinates everything. That message can impact you and your child for the rest of your lives. In an age where children are test subjects for dangerous drugs, The Chiropractic Place is a beacon of hope for parents and children who want to be well and base their health decisions on information, not fear and speculation.
