Questions
What parents ask before they come
Can I bring my baby?
Yes. Babies are welcome at your visit, and we plan the visit around feeding and naps. Bring what you carry with: the carrier, the feeding pillow, the stroller handle height you use.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Every kind of care has risks. Soreness afterward is common and usually short. Rare serious problems have been reported after neck adjustments, so your doctor explains the risks before any neck adjustment, and you can say no to any part of a visit. If you have a sudden severe headache or neck pain, new weakness or numbness, chest pain, or loss of bladder or bowel control, call 911 or see a physician first.
Do I need a referral or my physician's permission?
You do not need a referral to book. After a birth or a surgery, ask your midwife or physician when it is okay to start moving again, and tell them you plan to see us.
How many visits will I need?
Your doctor sets a plan after the exam and changes it as you go. We do not promise a number of visits, and you can stop at any time.
