What does a chiropractor treat?

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Levittown?

What happens at my first visit?
Your first visit includes a health history, a physical examination of your posture, movement and painful areas, and a plain explanation of what we found. Treatment usually starts the same day once you agree to the plan. Our New Patients page covers what to bring.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients feel pressure and sometimes hear a pop, which is gas releasing from the joint. Mild soreness for a day afterward is common, similar to after a workout. Sharp pain is not expected, and you should tell us right away if you feel it.
Is chiropractic care safe?
For most people, chiropractic adjustments are a low-risk, drug-free treatment. A full examination comes first so that anything needing different care is caught and referred before treatment begins.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
It depends on what the examination shows, how long the problem has been there and how your body responds. You receive a treatment plan after your first visit, and progress is re-checked along the way.
Do you treat car accident injuries?
Yes. We examine, document and treat auto injuries such as whiplash, back pain and headaches. Early care and clear records both matter after a crash.
Do you offer acupuncture and massage therapy?
Yes. Acupuncture and massage therapy are offered in the same office as your chiropractic care, so treatments can be planned together. Learn more about our wellness partners.
Can chiropractic care help a herniated disc?
Many herniated discs respond well to conservative care, including gentle adjustments, corrective exercises and advice on sitting and lifting. If your examination suggests you need imaging or a specialist, we will tell you.

Many headaches start in the neck. Treatment for tight muscles and stiff joints at the top of the spine, along with posture changes, helps many patients have fewer and milder headaches.
