During your first visit, the chiropractor will provide recommendations tailored to you.
Can chiropractic care help with stress or tension?
Yes. Many patients find that chiropractic care helps ease stress and tension by improving spinal alignment and restoring healthy movement in the joints, muscles, and nerves. Adjustments often reduce muscle tightness, improve circulation, and support natural relaxation — which can make it easier to feel calm, focused, and comfortable in daily life.

Chiropractic care primarily focuses on spinal health and improving overall wellness through manual adjustments to promote better alignment, mobility, and nervous system function. Chiropractors address issues like back pain, neck pain, and joint discomfort, and their care often involves hands-on techniques tailored to your needs. Stretches and exercises are typically taught and recommended to do at home.

It is typically more movement and exercise-based. The stretches and exercises are typically done in a PT clinic.
Can chiropractic care help with neck pain or stiffness?
Yes. Chiropractic care is highly effective for relieving neck pain and stiffness. Gentle spinal adjustments and targeted techniques can restore proper alignment, improve range of motion, and reduce tension in the muscles and nerves around the neck.
Your chiropractor may also recommend stretches, posture tips, and lifestyle adjustments to help prevent future discomfort and keep your neck feeling its best.
Do you treat patients who have been in car accidents?
Yes, chiropractic care is often sought by individuals who have been in car accidents to address discomfort or mobility issues.

Can chiropractic adjustments help with joint pain outside the spine, like knees or shoulders?
Yes. Chiropractic care isn’t just for the spine — it can also help reduce pain and improve function in other joints, including knees, shoulders, hips, and wrists. Adjustments, combined with targeted exercises and stretches, can restore proper joint alignment, improve mobility, and relieve tension in surrounding muscles and connective tissues.
Your chiropractor will create a personalized plan based on your specific joints and needs to help you move more comfortably and prevent future issues.
Do you offer any discounts for first-time patients?

Can chiropractic care help with muscle spasms or tightness?

Do you offer any wellness or preventative care programs?
Yes, we offer wellness plans designed to support your ongoing health and well-being. Our Monthly Wellness Plans include up to 4 visits per month:
– Adult: $79/month
– Military: $69/month
– Youth: $49/month
Each additional visit or single visit outside a plan costs $20. These plans are a great way to maintain alignment and support overall wellness.
With the Wellness Plan, even coming in twice a month costs less than paying the $55 walk-in rate — so you get more care for less.
What is the difference between a consultation and an adjustment?
A consultation is the initial step where the chiropractor discusses your health history, concerns, and goals to determine if chiropractic care is suitable for you. It helps the chiropractor understand your needs and create a tailored care plan.
An adjustment, on the other hand, is the hands-on care provided by the chiropractor. It involves specific techniques to improve spinal alignment, mobility, and overall function.
Your first visit includes both a consultation and an adjustment, along with an exam, for just $29.
Can I request a specific chiropractor for my visit?
Yes. At The Joint Chiropractic, we operate on a walk-in basis, so specific chiropractor requests may not always be guaranteed. However, you can discuss your preferences with the clinic staff during your visit, and they will do their best to accommodate your request.
