Question 1

How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic adjustments usually take 10 to 20 minutes. Your first visit may take longer because Dr. Caruso reviews your health history, current pain, and movement to ensure care is done safely and matched to your specific needs.

Question 2

Will a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic adjustments, including the Y-strap adjustment, are generally comfortable. Patients may feel controlled pressure or a quick release. Temporary soreness can occur, similar to muscle stiffness after physical activity, and typically subsides within a day.

Question 3

How often should I come in for chiropractic care?

Accepted Answer

The number of visits depends on your condition, pain level, and goals. Some patients need short-term care while others benefit from ongoing visits. Dr. Caruso will explain a plan that fits your needs and comfort level.

Question 4

Can chiropractic care help with long-term back or neck pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Regular chiropractic care may improve movement, reduce tension, and support better posture. Many patients notice steady relief when care is combined with simple daily movement changes.

Question 5

Do I need X-rays before starting chiropractic treatment?

Accepted Answer

X-rays are not always needed before treatment. They are used only when helpful to better understand your condition, past injuries, or areas of concern. Dr. Caruso will explain if imaging is recommended for your care.
