Frequently Asked Questions
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine and joints. At Diegel Chiropractic Center, care is designed to address areas of misalignment and help improve how your body moves and functions. Your treatment plan may also include stretching, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations.
What conditions can chiropractic care help with?
People commonly visit a chiropractor for concerns such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint discomfort, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Because every patient is different, we begin by evaluating your symptoms and health history to determine whether chiropractic care is appropriate for you.
What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?
During an adjustment, the chiropractor applies a controlled force to a specific joint or area of the body. The goal is to improve joint movement and function. The technique used will depend on your age, condition, comfort level, and individual needs.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most chiropractic adjustments should not be painful. Some patients may experience temporary soreness or tenderness afterward, particularly when beginning care. Let your chiropractor know if you have concerns or experience discomfort so your treatment can be adjusted appropriately.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
There is no single treatment schedule that works for everyone. The number and frequency of visits depend on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, your health goals, and how your body responds to care. Your chiropractor will discuss a recommended plan after evaluating you.
Do I need X-rays before chiropractic treatment?
Not every patient needs X-rays. Your chiropractor may recommend imaging when it is clinically appropriate based on your symptoms, health history, examination, or a change in your condition.
