  • What is chiropractic care?

    Chiropractic care is a natural healthcare approach that focuses on addressing the root causes of physical ailments rather than just treating symptoms. It's based on the principle that a healthy spine and nervous system enable the body to heal itself more effectively. By supporting spinal health, chiropractic care aims to enhance overall well-being and bodily function.
  • How does chiropractic care work?

    The process works by restoring your body's innate ability to be healthy. When your nervous system is working properly, the cells, tissues, and organs of the body are primed to resist disease and ill health. With the chiropractic approach, we locate and remove interferences to the nervous system. This can include subluxations and misaligned vertebrae. This improves spinal function, which improves nervous system function. The overall goal is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to remove interferences that hinder your normal health. We help your body heal itself. The key to optimal health is a healthy spine and a healthy lifestyle. Call our chiropractor in Carmel, IN to learn more!
  • What is a chiropractic adjustment?

    During a chiropractic adjustment, our chiropractor in Carmel, IN uses specific force in a precise direction. This is an art, and we apply the force to a joint that is subluxated, locked up, or just not moving right. This process is safe and natural, and the goal is to eliminate interference in the nervous system to improve spinal function and boost overall health. Gentle adjustments can revitalize your body's immunity.
  • Do children need chiropractic care?

    Significant spinal trauma can occur at birth. Many parents come to us to have their newborns immediately checked for vertebral subluxation. Obviously, we adjust our procedures for your child's spine. Many common childhood health problems can be linked back to the condition of the spine. Some adult conditions can even be prevented with proper spine care in childhood.

     

    According to the American Chiropractic Association, it is estimated that chiropractors treat more than 35 million Americans (adults and children) annually. Many of our patients at HealthSolutions Chiropractic & Spinal Rehab report that children who get chiropractic care are healthier than their peers. Call our chiropractor in Carmel, IN to learn more.

  • Are all patients adjusted the same way?

    No, we use a personalized approach for your unique spinal problems. We create customized plans and let each chiropractic adjustment build on the one before. Our recommendations are based on years of training and experience. We also offer migraine treatment in Carmel, IN.
  • Is chiropractic treatment safe?

    Yes, chiropractic care has a long history of safety. It is a conservative and natural healthcare option that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. Just look at the malpractice rates between chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. Chiropractors in Carmel, IN pay far less in premiums than medical doctors.
  • What causes the sound during an adjustment?

    Not all chiropractic adjustments produce a sound. However, many adjustments do create that sound of a spinal release. This is usually a popping sound. It's created by gas rushing in to fill the partial vacuum created when the joints are slightly separated. The sound is painless and completely harmless. Our chiropractor in Carmel, IN can tell you more.
  • Can I adjust myself?

    Self-adjustment is not recommended. Chiropractic adjustments require specific force applied in a precise direction to a particular joint. This level of accuracy is virtually impossible to achieve on your own. Attempting self-adjustment can potentially destabilize an already unstable spine and may be dangerous. Chiropractic care should only be performed by trained professionals.
  • Can a person who had back surgery see a chiropractor?

    Yes, we can work with patients who have had back surgery. Unfortunately, up to half of the people who have spinal surgery have their symptoms return months or years later, in our experience. This is known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and it leads many people to repeat surgeries. Chiropractic care from a chiropractor in Carmel, IN can prevent this cycle. In fact, many patients can avoid surgery altogether with proper chiropractic care.
  • Is it okay to see a chiropractor if I'm pregnant?

    Of course! There's never a bad time to support your nervous system's functionality. Many pregnant mothers report that chiropractic adjustments improve their pregnancy and make delivery easier for themselves and their babies. We tailor our adjustments to the mother's size, weight, age, and overall condition. We also offer migraine treatment in Carmel, IN.
