Read through these quick chiropractic FAQs to get answers to your top three questions about chiropractic care, and call us if you have a question that isn’t answered here.

Am I a Good Candidate for Chiropractic Care? 

Dr. Devries offers comprehensive chiropractic care to patients of all ages. He specializes in drug-free pain relief, preventive care, injury recovery, and holistic wellness. You are a good candidate for chiropractic care if you have chronic or acute pain, you want to improve your overall wellness, you want to prevent injuries, you need help with diet and nutrition, or you were injured on the job, in a car accident, or while playing sports. We specialize in treating patients with back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, repetitive stress or overuse injuries, and sports, auto, and work injuries. We also offer a safe, effective alternative to prescription medications, surgery, and invasive procedures.

What Will Happen During My First Chiropractic Visit? 

At your first visit with Dr. Devries, we will complete a comprehensive physical examination and take your medical and health history. We will ask you questions about your symptoms, lifestyle habits, home and work environment, job duties, activity level, diet, and more. We may recommend an x-ray, MRI, or CT scan to get more information about your condition or to rule out specific conditions. When our exam and diagnostic testing is complete, we will provide same-day chiropractic treatment and go over your chiropractic care plan. We will give you instructions to manage your care at home and work, and we will schedule your next appointment.

What Are the Three Stages of Chiropractic Treatment? 

The three stages of chiropractic care are relief care, corrective care, and wellness care. Relief care focuses on relieving acute or chronic pain and other symptoms and dysfunction. Corrective care focuses on promoting healing and improving function and range of motion. Wellness care focuses on preventing new injuries or re-injury and improving your overall health and wellness.
