Frequently Asked Chiropractic Questions

Chiropractic care is a science,  philosophy, and art focused on the intricate relationship between the  spine and nervous system.  Doctors of Chiropractic know that  misalignments (subluxations) in the spine can interfere with the vital  communication pathway between the brain and the body.  This interference  can lead to decreased function, loss of energy, pain, and ill-health.   Chiropractors use a gentle adjustment to realign the spine, restore  normal nervous system function, and allow the body to heal, naturally.

Yes, everyone is a candidate. Millions of people from  newborns to senior citizens use chiropractic care as a way to get  healthy and stay healthy.  If you want to improve your health and get  more out of life, chiropractic is for you!

Yes, chiropractic is safe for children.  Our Doctors have their pregnancy and pediatric certificate. They have taken extra time and energy to know more about children and how to  manage their health safely and effectively. Children need their nervous  system to function well and chiropractic care can assure that it does!  Drs. Cain daughters and sons were adjusted within hours of birth and are adjusted weekly ever since. 

 Just the opposite!  Chiropractic  releases tension in the nervous system that develops over time from the  physical, chemical, and emotional stress we experience.  Most of the  time our practice members comment on how wonderful they feel – more  energy, less pressure, decreased pain, increased life! 

Our Doctors are trained in a number of techniques. This allows them to use a technique that is most effective for your body. If you are  nervous about being adjusted please let us know and we will help you through the process safely and comfortably. 

No, unless you want to continue improving your health.

Think about anything in your life you want to work properly…your car,  your house, your teeth, your muscles.  You could easily stop taking  care of them, too, but you’ll probably experience a gradual decline in  how they work.  Your spine and nervous system are no different.  Many of  our practice members include chiropractic care in their lifestyle to be  as healthy as possible, but the choice is yours.

 Unfortunately, no.  Subluxations are misalignment in the spine that cause tension in the nervous system and  dis-ease.  Sometimes subluxations can cause symptoms like pain,  stiffness, weakness, muscle spasms, etc.  However, most of the time  subluxations are silent and cause decreased function without causing  pain.

Less than 10% of the nerves in your entire body sense pain.  So even  if those aren’t irritated, there’s still 90% that could be affected  without you even knowing it.  That’s why getting checked by a Doctor of  Chiropractic is so important

Because you deserve to be healthy. Not all chiropractors are the same, and not everyone responds to the same type of chiropractic. There are over 200 named chiropractic  techniques and different techniques fork for different people. 

Cain Family Chiropractic uses state-of-the-art equipment to assess the function of your nervous system and specific x-rays to evaluate your spinal health.  Don’t let previous experiences prevent you from reaching your health goals.  There is always an opportunity for healing and improvement. 

The best advice we can give you is to call your insurance and ask what your chiropractic benefits are and if we are in your network. We will verify your insurance when you arrive for your initial consult, but cannot verify any insurance before that moment. As an aside, many of our patients who have insurance opt for self-pay options as they are a better value then their insurance coverage. Our self-pay options are very affordable and will be discussed with you if you so desire.
