Frequently Asked Questions

1.

What is Chiropractic and why do I need it?

Chiropractic is a natural and safe low force adjustment to any misaligned joint (subluxation) that allows the body to naturally heal itself.  Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between structure (the spine) and function (the nervous system communicating with the brain) and how the relationship affects the preservation and restoration of health.

2.

What is a subluxation?

A vertebral subluxation, as mentioned above, is a misalignment of the bones in your back that house and protect the spinal cord.  A chiropractor is trained to find, diagnose, and correct these subluxations that may be causing pain and unwanted interference to organs and other body systems.

3.

Should I still visit a Chiropractor when I am not in pain?

Yes, chiropractic is more than pain relief. Research shows it increases oxygen to the brain, allows for quicker reaction times, better balance, better coordination to prevent falls, and improved performance for games or competitions. 

4.

Who benefits from chiropractic care?

Everyone! Dr. Durkin adjusted her baby right after giving birth and has adjusted children and adults of all ages. She uses her hands and/or different tools to help get the joints moving so you are able to live your best life.

5.

How many times do I need to see you?

It all depends on the root cause of the pain that we find during your initial examination, how well your adjustments are holding stable, and the goals that you have.  The more regularly you get adjusted, the better and faster your body heals itself, without the use of drugs.  Furthermore, you will have more access to resources and education to increase your function and health.
