Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic care focuses on the health of your spine, nervous system, and joints. Chiropractors use specific, gentle adjustments to improve motion, relieve pain, and support your body’s natural ability to heal—without the use of drugs or surgery.

Chiropractors often help with back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint pain, muscle tension, posture problems, and injuries from auto accidents or sports. At Whiteley Chiropractic, we tailor care to your specific needs, whether you're dealing with a new issue or long-term discomfort.

Yes. Chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest, most effective options for musculoskeletal pain. At Whiteley Chiropractic, we use techniques appropriate for your age, condition, and comfort level.

Most people feel relief, relaxation, or better mobility right after an adjustment. Occasionally, there may be brief soreness—similar to how you might feel after exercising a new muscle group. Many patients say, “That felt great!”

X-rays are not always necessary, but they can help us understand the structure and condition of your spine more clearly—especially if you're dealing with trauma, chronic pain, or degenerative changes. We’ll only recommend them if they’re truly needed for safe and effective care.

That depends on your condition, how long you’ve had it, and your health goals. Some patients feel better after just a few visits, while others benefit from more consistent care. At Whiteley Chiropractic, we’ll always be transparent and flexible with your care plan.

Absolutely. Chiropractic care is safe and beneficial for people of all ages, including children and pregnant women. Adjustments for these groups are especially gentle and can help with posture, comfort, and nervous system balance.

Not unless you want to! Some patients come in just for short-term pain relief, while others choose ongoing wellness care to stay aligned, mobile, and proactive with their health. At Whiteley Chiropractic, we support whatever approach is right for you.

Most people find adjustments relaxing and relieving. We use gentle techniques that are adapted to your body. If you ever feel unsure, we’ll explain everything beforehand and work within your comfort level.

No referral is needed. Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers, so you can schedule a visit at any time—just like you would with a dentist or optometrist.
