Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

212 Degrees of Wellness practices, safe, non-invasive chiropractic care. We never treat patients or move bones without a full examination and x-rays, first. 

Can Pregnant Women go to a Chiropractor?

Yes! Women at any stage of pregnancy can receive care. We do recommend talking to an OB/GYN first to make sure it’s safe for you and baby.

How Many Appointments does it Take to Feel Better?

After your first appointment, you might feel great relief, but that does not mean you are healed. Each patient’s treatment time is different because everyBODY is different. That’s why do in-depth examinations to help determine your best course of treatment. Your recommended treatment plan will be discussed and agreed upon in your report of findings before you begin care. We want to make sure all your questions are answered and you are comfortable moving forward.

Is Chiropractic Treatment Uncomfortable? 

Chiropractors move bones and joints that may not have been moving properly for years. Occasionally, this can cause some mild soreness after the adjustment, but many times patients begin feeling better before they even get off the table.
