Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly does a chiropractor do?

Chiropractors are primary healthcare specialists that are trained to diagnose, treat, and prevent musculoskeletal disorders, and the effect these issues may have on the nervous system and general health. They primarily use manual treatments, such as spinal adjustments and soft tissue work, to improve the health of their clients. They are very highly educated and can give advice on lifestyle, nutrition and exercise.

How safe is chiropractic treatment?

Chiropractic is very safe. The risks of injury to the spine or any other part of the body is very low.

Are Chiropractors doctors?

Chiropractors can use the title D.C. which stands for Doctor of Chiropractic. However, Chiropractors are not medical doctors and have no association with the medical profession. Although not associated with the medical profession, Chiropractors can diagnose and refer patients for x-rays and MRIs.

Will my Chiropractic care be expensive?

Not necessarily. The length of the acute phase of care varies from client to client, and depends a lot on your treatment goals, lifestyle, and age. On average the acute phase of care does not usually go beyond 6 sessions. Following the acute phase of care, you should be feeling considerably better. At this stage many chiropractors recommend a restorative phase of care which brings in more rehabilitation exercises and a maintenance phase of care. The length of time between sessions for these latter two phases is very variable and often depends on an individual’s goals and circumstances.

Are there different Chiropractic techniques?

Yes. There are literally dozens of different techniques. Some techniques have become popular by way of social media, and other techniques are more gentle and don’t use a lot of spinal manipulation. At Marshall Chiropractic Ed uses a number of different techniques including: spinal manipulation, Sacro-Occipital Technique, cranial chiropractic, soft tissue active-release, and rehabilitation exercises.
