Frequently Asked Questions in McKinney TX

A chiropractor is a trained, licensed professional doctor that improves the function of the body, without unneeded drugs or surgeries, by removing interference to and improving the function of the master system of the body, the brain and nervous system.

Yes. Chiropractors or a D.C. (Doctor of Chiropractic) gets a doctorate degree from an accredited university. Chiropractors are licensed as doctors in every state of the Union.

I always say, “there’s an adjustment for everyone. We just have to find the right one for you.” Yes. Chiropractic works. If you remove the interference to and improve the function of the brain and nervous system, that is always a good thing. Sometimes people need other interventions like surgery because their problem is so advanced. We can determine if that is needed. In most cases, it is not. But if you go to the surgeon first, their tool is surgery, so what will they want to do with you?

Chiropractors are extremely safe. Chiropractors actually have one of the lowest malpractice rates of any healthcare professional. That says a lot.

This all depends on what is all going on, how much damage has occurred and the state of your health coming into the clinic. A healthy, athletic 20 year old will be much quicker to respond than a 50 year old with diabetes, obesity and neuropathy.

There are many techniques – from light force techniques that work on tone and slow changes to heavier techniques that improve joint function very quickly. We have to determine what is best for you and we do that through our consultation and exam.

Chiropractors treat the brain and nervous system. We do this through improving joint, muscle, tendon and ligament function. When these tissues work better, the signals into the brain work better. We call the condition of those tissues not functioning correctly a Subluxation. Some offices, like ours, also deal with chronic inflammation states by improving gut and liver function through diet and supplementation.

Yes. And it is highly recommended. Of course, we would want to coordinate with your OB-GYN. But chiropractic care is great for pregnancy.

We tell patients that they can feel one of three ways after an adjustment: They can feel better, they don’t have much change, or they can feel worse. Feeling worse is usually soreness, kind of like after doing a hard workout. When the body changes, some soreness can occur.

Yes. Very safe. It’s been said that it’s more likely to be struck by lightning, twice, than it is to have issues with chiropractic adjustments.

No. All adjustments are individualized for the need of that patient.

No. However, people have tried. I usually see these people in my office when trying to do this because they’ve injured themselves. I do not recommend you try to do adjustments on yourself.

Very much so. Kids are growing, active, falling, rough housing, playing sports, etc. Get their spine and nervous system checked for issues. An old saying, “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” Help your kids bodies function at a good level with chiropractic care
