Question 1

Do I need to know what chiropractic service I need before scheduling?

Accepted Answer

No. Start with the exam. Balanced Chiropractic will help determine whether chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression, custom orthotics, home guidance, referral, or another next step makes the most sense for your exam findings and goals.

Question 2

Do I need an adjustment, decompression, or orthotics?

Accepted Answer

It depends on what is driving your symptoms and what your exam shows. Adjustments may help when joint motion and stiffness are involved, decompression may be considered when disc or nerve irritation fits the pattern, and orthotics may help when foot mechanics contribute to stress in the feet, knees, hips, or back.

Question 3

What happens at the first visit?

Accepted Answer

The first visit includes a thorough history, movement-based exam, explanation of findings, and clear recommendations. When appropriate, conservative care may begin the same day.

Question 4

How many visits will I need?

Accepted Answer

That depends on how long the problem has been present, how irritable it is, your exam findings, your goals, and how your body responds. Balanced Chiropractic uses realistic checkpoints so the plan stays measurable.

Question 5

Is spinal decompression safe?

Accepted Answer

For the right candidates, spinal decompression is designed to be gentle and conservative. Balanced Chiropractic screens for red flags and contraindications before recommending decompression.

Question 6

Do you offer custom orthotics?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If your exam suggests foot mechanics may be contributing to foot, ankle, knee, hip, or back stress, Balanced Chiropractic can fit custom orthotics and guide you through a break-in plan.

Question 7

Can you help athletes and active adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Balanced Chiropractic works with athletes, lifters, runners, workers, and active adults who want to reduce pain, improve movement, and support training or daily activity.

Question 8

When should chiropractic not be the first step?

Accepted Answer

Seek urgent evaluation for progressive weakness, numbness in the groin or saddle area, loss of bowel or bladder control, fever with severe pain, unexplained weight loss, major trauma, chest pain, or symptoms that are rapidly worsening.
