Gentle Chiropractic Care Explained

What Makes Our Chiropractic Care Gentle?

Gentle chiropractic care begins with a quiet, focused approach. Dr. Shire listens carefully with his hands to identify exactly where your spine is blocked or misaligned. Rather than using force across multiple areas, he delivers specific, intentional adjustments only where needed to restore proper motion and function.

This precision approach means preparing your body first through gentle soft tissue work, massage, and stretching. When your nervous system is relaxed and your muscles are at ease, adjustments require far less force and feel much more comfortable. The result is effective care that honors your body's natural healing ability without unnecessary manipulation.

Dr. Shire's expertise spans:

  • Pediatric-certified chiropractor (ICPA)
  • Webster Technique certified for pregnancy care
  • Full spine Diversified adjustment training
  • Advanced soft tissue and manual therapy techniques

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

No. Chiropractic adjustments are gentle and specific to remove problems that prevent the body from healing. Sometimes there is a sound (a popping) that occurs. This is simply a release of gas and fluid in the joint.

Can chiropractic cure everything?

Chiropractic does NOT cure anything! Chiropractic helps the body to heal and repair through the removal of subluxation (interference to the nerve system). Chiropractic allows the inborn or innate healing mechanisms in the body to take place. It's the same way the body heals from a cut on your finger or a broken bone.

Why would I have my newborn or young child adjusted?

Birth and the birth process, even under the best circumstances, can be traumatic. The slightest amount of twisting and pulling on the delicate bones and nerves can leave your child with subluxation. Areas of nerve interference can be detrimental to their growth and development. Subluxation can lead to things like ear infections, colic, and torticollis (stiff neck). Chiropractic adjustments for newborns are gentle and safe, and the health benefits are amazing. Visit www.icpa4kids.org to learn more about chiropractic and kids.

Does insurance cover chiropractic visits?

Depending on your health insurance, they do cover chiropractic visits. When you contact the office, our staff can help explain our insurance policy and verify your benefits.

Can someone who has had back surgery see a chiropractor?

Yes, depending on the surgery and location. There are 24 moveable bones in the spine. Unless they have all had surgery, the remaining areas will need attention.

What happens on my first visit?

Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which we review your intake forms and discuss your health concerns in detail. After taking a thorough history, Dr. Shire conducts a complete examination, including posture analysis, range of motion testing, muscle evaluation, and any necessary orthopedic or neurologic tests. This detailed assessment ensures we understand your unique situation before beginning care.

Can you help with chronic back or neck pain?

Absolutely. Chronic back and neck pain are among the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, and it's where we consistently see exceptional results. What sets us apart is our focus on finding and addressing the underlying cause of your pain, not just temporarily masking symptoms. By identifying areas of dysfunction and restoring proper spinal motion, we allow your body to heal naturally.

Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?

Yes, chiropractic care is very safe during pregnancy. Our gentle approach focuses on the mother's hips, pelvis, sacrum, and spine—we don't work on or near the abdomen. Pregnancy adjustments are specifically designed to accommodate a changing body and provide relief from the physical stresses of carrying a baby.

How soon do patients usually feel better?

Most patients notice positive changes after their first adjustment. The overwhelming majority leave their initial visit feeling more free, more flexible, lighter, and with less pain. However, it's important to remember that feeling better is a positive side effect of restoring proper function. Your individual healing timeline depends on factors like how long the problem has existed, your overall health, and how well your body responds to care.
