  • As a chiropractic practice, we are legally required to adhere to HIPAA regulations and ensure each patient receives a form explaining their HIPAA rights and patient information protection. Your privacy and security come first, and you can expect the same level of discretion and care that you’d receive at any doctor’s office.

  • We require 12 hours notice to reschedule or cancel an appointment. For late cancellations, reschedules, and missed appointments, a $35.00 fee will be charged to the card on file.

    Our patient’s time is valuable. When a scheduled appointment is cancelled without proper notice, this is time for which another patient could have received the care they need.

    We understand that emergencies, bad weather, and unexpected instances occur and will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

CHIROPRACTIC

  • An adjustment, also known as spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), is a hands-on treatment chiropractors use to improve the function of the spine and other joints of the body. The chiropractor will apply a specific and controlled force to reposition a misaligned joint. Often used to treat back and neck pain, adjustments can also help with migraines, numbness or tingling, sciatica, and more.

  • For most patients, the adjustment will not hurt. While the chiropractic adjustment is designed to be relatively gentle, a number of factors can lead to a brief period of discomfort. Some of these factors include:

    • Pain tolerance

    • Pre-existing conditions

    • Muscle tension

  • Yes, regular chiropractic treatments can improve sleep in both quality and duration thanks to: 

    • Reduced pain and inflammation

    • Improved range of motion

    • Decreased muscle tension

    • Strengthened nerve function and immune system

  • Possibly! Since the neck and back are both part of the spine, an issue in one area of the spine can often affect another. While this is not always the case, they can influence other parts of the spine and body.

    We would need to assess your current health and pain to determine its cause. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Hall to get started!

  • Many of the popping sounds that your body makes are generally harmless, like cracking your knuckles. This popping sound is caused by a release of gas bubbles inside the synovial fluid of your joints. 

    However, if you hear a popping sound while doing a strenuous activity, like lifting a heavy object, it could signal a potential disc herniation. In general, if you hear a popping sound that is accompanied by pain, swelling, stiffness, numbness, or any prolonged discomfort, it is important to be evaluated by a doctor to determine the underlying cause and receive the appropriate treatment.
