Your Questions, Answered Simply

Yes, chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe, drug-free, and non-invasive approach to health and wellness. When performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor, adjustments are appropriate for people of all ages—from infants to seniors.

Like any healthcare treatment, there are potential risks, but serious complications are rare. Compared to many conventional medical interventions such as surgery or long-term medication use, chiropractic care typically carries significantly lower risks.

At Simply Well Chiropractic, we take the time to thoroughly assess your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our goal is to help your body heal naturally and effectively, with minimal risk and lasting results.

Chiropractic care is beneficial for people of all ages and lifestyles—whether you're seeking relief from back or neck pain, recovering from an injury, improving posture, or looking to support your overall wellness.

From infants with colic, to active adults, to seniors wanting to maintain mobility, chiropractic offers a personalized, non-invasive approach to care. After a thorough evaluation, we create a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and health goals—helping you move, feel, and function better naturally.

Chiropractic care can be incredibly beneficial for children, starting as early as infancy. The birth process, even under the best circumstances, can place stress on a newborn’s spine and nervous system. Gentle adjustments may help ease issues like latching difficulties, colic, reflux, and torticollis by supporting proper nervous system function and alignment.

As children grow, their bodies go through many changes—from crawling and walking to sports and school activities. Regular chiropractic check-ups can help identify and correct imbalances or subluxations early, supporting healthy development, posture, and mobility. Care may also help with common concerns like sleep challenges, bedwetting, constipation, and growing pains.

At Simply Well Chiropractic, we use safe, gentle techniques tailored specifically for each child’s age and development.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Most patients feel relief and improved mobility right after their adjustment. In some cases, you might experience mild soreness or tightness afterward—similar to how you might feel after starting a new workout. This is a normal response as your body begins to realign and heal.

At Simply Well Chiropractic, we always prioritize your comfort. We offer gentle techniques, including non-manual adjustments, for those who prefer a lighter approach or have specific health needs.

During a chiropractic adjustment, you may hear a “cracking” or “popping” sound—this is called a cavitation. It’s completely normal and nothing to worry about. The sound occurs when a small pocket of gas (oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide) is released from the joint as pressure is relieved.

This release often brings a sense of relief and can help improve joint mobility. It’s similar to the sound you hear when you crack your knuckles—but rest assured, the adjustment is gentle and focused on restoring proper motion and alignment.

Not always. At Simply Well Chiropractic, we use digital X-rays when they are clinically necessary to get a clearer picture of what's happening beneath the surface. If your initial examination doesn’t reveal any concerning findings, X-rays may not be needed.

However, if your symptoms suggest structural issues or deeper imbalances, targeted X-rays of the spine or affected areas can be extremely helpful. They allow us to assess spinal alignment more precisely and create a more focused, effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Our goal is always to use the most appropriate tools to ensure your care is safe, accurate, and results-driven.

Not at all—how long you choose to receive chiropractic care is entirely up to you.

At Simply Well Chiropractic, we tailor each care plan to your specific needs, goals, and lifestyle. Some patients come to us for short-term relief from pain or injury, while others choose ongoing care to support posture, mobility, and overall wellness.

In the beginning, you may need more frequent visits to address acute issues. As your body responds and improves, visits typically decrease. Many patients find that periodic maintenance care helps prevent future problems and keeps their body functioning at its best—much like regular dental cleanings or exercise.

We’ll always work with you to create a plan that fits your health goals—not one-size-fits-all care.

No insurance? No problem. At Simply Well Chiropractic, we believe everyone deserves access to quality care—regardless of coverage.

We offer affordable self-pay rates and flexible care plans designed to fit your needs and your budget. Whether you're looking for short-term relief or long-term wellness care, we’ll work with you to create a plan that delivers excellent care without financial stress.

Your health is an investment, and we’re here to make it manageable and worthwhile.

Once you schedule your first visit, you’ll receive an email with new patient forms. We encourage you to complete them ahead of time so our doctors can review your information and better prepare for your visit.

If you’re unable to fill out the forms in advance, no worries—just arrive 15–20 minutes early to complete them in-office. Your initial appointment typically lasts 45–60 minutes and includes a thorough consultation, exam, and any necessary testing.

We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and bringing any relevant medical records or imaging, if available.

First impressions matter—so we’ve designed every detail of your visit to help you feel relaxed, informed, and supported.

At Simply Well Chiropractic, our office is built with your comfort in mind. From the moment you walk in, our goal is to create a calm, welcoming, and family-friendly environment. Here’s what you can expect at your first visit:

Arrival

• When you arrive, one of our team members will greet you at the front desk to complete your check-in. We’ll make sure all necessary paperwork is finalized and collect a copy of your ID and insurance card (if not already submitted). You’ll then be given a brief tour of our office so you feel familiar and at home in the space.

Consultation & Examination

• Your appointment begins with a complimentary consultation in one of our comfortable consultation rooms. During this time, one of our doctors will take a detailed health history and discuss your current concerns, health objectives, and goals for chiropractic care. After the consultation, we’ll conduct a thorough examination that includes orthopedic and neurological testing, as well as an assessment of your posture and range of motion. These evaluations provide valuable insight into your spinal health and overall physical function.

X-rays (if needed)

• If your exam findings suggest that further imaging is necessary, we may recommend digital X-rays. These allow us to analyze structural alignment and provide the most precise care possible—all done conveniently in-house.

First Adjustment

• If appropriate, we may perform your first adjustment during this visit. We’ll walk you through each step so you feel comfortable and confident. Afterward, we’ll answer any remaining questions and help you schedule your next appointment.

Your second visit is all about clarity and planning. During this appointment, we’ll review your exam and any X-ray findings in detail. One of our doctors will explain what we’ve discovered, answer your questions, and present a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs and goals.

We’ll also go over the recommended frequency of care, expected outcomes, and associated costs—so you feel fully informed and confident moving forward.

Once everything is reviewed, you’ll receive your next chiropractic adjustment. After this visit, most future appointments are shorter and more focused, typically lasting 10 to 25 minutes depending on your treatment needs.
