Frequently Asked Questions in Mt Laurel Township NJ

You should see a chiropractor when you're a baby, a student, under stress, if you are ill or in pain, if you've been in an accident, competing in sports, and if you want to achieve the best health possible!

You will see a chiropractor more often at the beginning of treatment, during the more intensive relief phase. When you reach the stabilization/maintenance phase of your chiropractic care, we recommend keeping up with regular adjustments to maintain the progress that you made. This varies from person to person.

*If you are looking for temporary relief rather than addressing the cause of the problem, then our office is probably not the right fit for you. We don’t prescribe medications and we do not accept walk-ins.

The "cracking" sound when you get adjusted is air being released from the fluid in the joint capsules in-between your joints. The bones are not cracking during an adjustment.

No. All adjustments are customized by our doctors to the individual needs of each person. Our doctors are highly trained in various techniques to provide the best care possible for each person. Some people respond best to manual adjustments with some force, while others respond best to light-force instrument adjusting or drop table adjustments. Proper diagnostic imaging helps us to gather the most specific information to best correct your condition.

You should continue to get adjusted even after your initial problem has subsided to achieve long term correction and stabilization. If you stop getting adjusted after the initial symptoms are gone without achieving long term correction/stabilization, your condition will eventually return, and your spine will likely become problematic again.

In our office a regular visit will be no longer than 20 minutes. If you have a re-evaluation or re-x-ray your visit may be slightly longer, but we strive to respect your time while you are under our care. We often receive compliments on our efficiency and respect for our patient’s valuable time.

There are many benefits to the exercises we have you do in our office. The mobility disc prepares your body for your actual adjustment, and the neck exercises help to strengthen your neck muscles and help stabilize spinal adjustments longer.

YES! You should absolutely see a chiropractor when you are pregnant. Not only will getting adjusted provide you with a more comfortable pregnancy, it will also help to ensure your labor and delivery are as smooth as possible.

Yes, we highly recommend you get your children evaluated and adjusted. As children develop, they experience stresses on the body that are completely normal to growth, like falls and minor injuries. A healthy spine will allow them to heal quickly and optimally. Getting your child's spine checked will also ensure that their spine is growing in a straight line from the front and has the necessary curves in the low back and neck. Chiropractic adjustments also help students of all ages concentrate better.

Your child should be evaluated by a chiropractor as soon as possible after birth. We have parents who bring their infants in after birth for a preventative evaluation.

Soreness after your first adjustment or two is a normal reaction. In many cases the patient’s spine may have been locked up for months or years. We recommend using ice for 20 minutes at a time, followed by 40 minutes of rest. We do not recommend heat, as heat may aggravate the area.
