Chiropractic Care

At Apol Chiropractic, many patients come to us when pain or discomfort starts interfering with daily life. Chiropractic care focuses on gentle, drug-free techniques—such as spinal adjustments—to support better movement and relieve tension in the muscles, joints, and spine.

You may want to consider booking a chiropractic appointment if you’re experiencing:

• Ongoing back or neck pain that doesn’t improve
• Frequent headaches or migraines
• Stiffness or limited mobility in your joints
• Lingering discomfort after an injury or accident
• Numbness, tingling, or sciatic nerve pain
• Persistent muscle or joint soreness
• Fatigue, sleep disturbances, or digestive issues that may relate to nervous system stress
• Subtle signs like uneven shoe wear, poor posture, or coordination challenges

While chiropractic care can be beneficial in many of these cases, this is general guidance only. We recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider first to rule out any underlying issues and determine if chiropractic treatment is right for you.

The number of chiropractic visits you may need depends on factors like your condition, age, health, lifestyle, treatment response, and your chiropractor’s recommendations. Since care is personalized, a licensed chiropractor must evaluate your situation to provide an accurate plan.

Acute Care

This short-term phase addresses immediate pain or a recent flare-up. The goal is to relieve discomfort, reduce inflammation, and restore mobility.

• Typical frequency: 2-3 visits per week at first, tapering to 1-2 per week
• Duration: Often lasts 4-12 weeks, with 8-12 visits total, but this can vary
• In severe cases, daily visits may be recommended initially
• Treatment may include adjustments, soft tissue work, and exercises
• Progress is tracked using pain levels or movement tests
• Often transitions to corrective or stabilization care afterward
• May be covered by insurance if medically necessary

Maintenance Care

After symptoms improve, maintenance care helps prevent recurrence, support spinal health, and manage chronic issues.

• Typical frequency: Monthly, every 6 weeks, or 1-2 visits per month
• Annual average: Around 6-14 visits per year; studies report a median of 4-7
• Sessions include adjustments and early detection of new issues
• Often ongoing if beneficial, though insurance may not cover it

In summary, for new issues, care may involve 8-20+ visits across different phases. Some people resolve symptoms in a few sessions, while others may require longer-term support.

Chiropractic care focuses on the musculoskeletal system—your bones, muscles, joints, and connective tissues—using manual adjustments to improve alignment, reduce discomfort, and enhance overall function. A key part of its effectiveness lies in how it influences the nervous system, which connects the brain to the rest of the body. Misalignments in the spine, called subluxations, can disrupt nerve signals, leading to pain, swelling, or reduced performance. Chiropractic adjustments address these issues to relieve pressure, improve nerve communication, and support the body’s natural healing response.

Here are five common conditions chiropractic care may help with:

• Low Back Pain: Caused by posture issues, muscle strain, or disc problems, low back pain is a leading reason for chiropractic visits. Adjustments target misalignments to reduce nerve irritation and inflammation, improving mobility and sensory signal flow to the brain.
• Neck Pain: Often the result of whiplash, screen-related strain (“tech neck”), or stress, neck pain is treated through gentle spinal adjustments. These help reduce stiffness, decompress nerves, and support better blood flow and neural coordination.
• Headaches and Migraines: Spinal misalignments and muscle tension can contribute to headaches. Chiropractic care reduces nerve pressure, enhances circulation, and supports the body’s release of natural pain-relieving chemicals like endorphins.
• Sciatica: This condition involves radiating leg pain due to sciatic nerve compression. Chiropractic care can relieve pressure through realignment and decompression, restoring clearer communication between the brain and lower limbs.
• Joint Pain (Shoulders, Knees, Hips): Whether from injury, overuse, or arthritis, joint pain affects mobility. Chiropractic adjustments help restore alignment, improve nerve signaling, and support joint function and resilience.

By focusing on spinal health and nervous system function, chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free way to address these common conditions.
