What to Expect at Your First Chiropractic Visit
If you were hurt in a collision and need a car accident chiropractor, or you want ongoing preventive and wellness care, your first visit follows the same three steps.
Your visit begins with a consultation with our Charlotte chiropractor, where we talk through your symptoms and health history. Next is the exam, a physical evaluation that takes a closer look at the injury and includes X-rays in our office when needed. Finally comes treatment, where we carry out your care plan and adjust it as you improve.

Frequently Asked Questions in Charlotte
How does chiropractic care help?
Chiropractic can help alleviate pain and discomfort and restore proper function of the vertebral joints in the spine. When these joints stop moving properly, the dysfunction can cause pain and inflammation in your back, neck, head, and other areas of your body.
I didn’t hear a sound. Does that mean the adjustment didn’t work?
During an adjustment you may hear a popping sound, called a cavitation. If you didn’t hear or feel a cavitation, it does not mean your adjustment didn’t work. We use many different techniques. Some cause a popping sensation and others don’t, depending on your comfort level and what works best for your condition.
Does insurance cover chiropractic visits?
Most major medical plans cover chiropractic care, including Medicare. Our team can verify your chiropractic benefits before your first visit.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Charlotte?
Cost depends on your insurance coverage and the care your exam calls for. Our guide to how much a chiropractor costs explains typical visit prices.
How safe is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is considered one of the safest noninvasive treatments for musculoskeletal complaints. Millions of patients receive treatment for neck pain, back pain, and headaches with reliable outcomes.
Is chiropractic care safe while I’m pregnant?
During pregnancy, women experience pelvic changes along with postural and pelvic adaptations. Chiropractors are trained to treat these issues with gentle, effective techniques that help with pain and discomfort due to pregnancy.
Can I become addicted to chiropractic adjustments?
The myth that you can become addicted to chiropractic care comes from how good patients feel once they are pain-free. We offer treatment plans that are specific to each patient.
Is chiropractic safe for children?
Before considering chiropractic care for a child, discuss the potential benefits and risks with the child’s health care provider. Whether care is appropriate depends on the child’s condition and the technique being considered.
How much schooling does a chiropractor have?
Doctors of chiropractic complete undergraduate coursework followed by a four-year Doctor of Chiropractic program. They must also pass national board exams before a state will license them.
Can I see a chiropractor if I’ve had back surgery?
Yes. Many patients with chronic back pain have treated with us after back surgery, with great results. We start with a thorough exam to find exactly what is causing your pain.
How long will it take to work?
Every patient and condition is different, so the time it takes to feel relief depends on the severity of your injury. Most patients notice a change in their symptoms within the first three to four visits.
