Ask the Experts
Q:What are the most common reasons families seek chiropractic care at your practice?
A: People typically seek out chiropractic care initially due to pain in the body (head to toe), but they find that maintenance care keeps the body performing at its best. We see people of all ages, the youngest being a few hours old to the elderly. We care for infants and kids differently than we would for adults; the techniques used are tailored to each individual’s needs.
Q: What differentiates your approach to chiropractic care?
A: We view the body as a whole. If one area is not functioning properly, we need to assess the entire system to see where the dysfunction is truly coming from. Our care plans are specifically tailored to individual goals.
Q: Many people think chiropractic care is only for back pain. What are some lesser-known benefits?
A: The top “side effects” include better sleep, improved mood, better digestion, and improved immune system, to name just a few.
Q:How do you tailor care for different types of patients?
A: From infants and athletes to busy parents and seniors, every treatment plan is personalized. Our clinic provides many different, effective treatments. Some patients need a gentle approach, while others favor an accelerated therapy plan. Our clinic is great at ensuring that you feel heard at each visit, and you are getting the right treatment for your body.
Q:What advice would you give someone who is curious about chiropractic care but isn’t sure if it’s right for them?
A: We always offer free consultations with Dr. Fisher and Dr. Weikel. This allows us to assess if this is something that can help you and vice versa.
Q:How do lifestyle factors like movement, nutrition, and daily habits play a role in the care you provide?
A: They are all major factors. If you aren’t moving the body daily, feeding it proper nutrition, and being mindful of your daily habits, it affects how well the body functions. We help guide our patients with stretches, exercises, nutritional advice, and proper ergonomics to support their goals.
Q:What’s one common misconception about chiropractic care that you’d like to clear up?
A: I think that many people feel if they start chiropractic care, that they can never stop. That’s not true; many chose to continue with maintenance care because they see the value in prevention as it helps to maintain optimal body function.
Q:Can you share a success story that reflects the kind of impact chiropractic care can have on an individual or family?
A: We see all kinds of success stories daily. For infants, an issue we often treat is colic. It’s amazing how a few adjustments can really help. We see patients with debilitating issues like back pain, migraines, joint pain, and sleepless nights and that pain can affect their daily routine, work and even being present for their family. When their pain, function, and movement improve, they can get their life back on track, which can directly impact relationships at home and work.
Q:For someone ready to take the first step toward better wellness this year, what should they expect from their first visit with you?
A: With our compassionate, dedicated team who cares about our patient’s health and wellness, they will leave that first visit feeling like they are in “great hands” and supported in their health journey. We want every patient to feel like part of the family.
