FAQS

As a chiropractic office, we have many patients who ask if they can make an appointment with the office directly, or if they need another doctor to refer them to our care.

The quick answer to the question is that in most cases the answer is NO. Chiropractors are considered as primary level physicians in Florida and patients may access them directly without a medical referral.

1. Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment from a chiropractor.

2. Neck Pain

Chiropractors often treat neck pain with neck adjustments. In most cases, these neck adjustments—along with exercises— work better for neck pain than pain medications. 

3. Tension Headaches

Chiropractic adjustments for your neck and upper midback will help if you have tension headaches. These are a common type of headache that causes pain in the back of your head and neck. Stress and bad posture can cause tension headaches.

4. Whiplash

Whiplash is a type of neck sprain that often results from a car accident. Whiplash causes pain and stiffness in your neck. Pain may be worse when you try to turn your head. You may even feel dizzy or sick to your stomach. Chiropractic adjustment can help. 

5. Sacroiliac Pain (Most people unknowingly refer to this as "hip pain")

Your sacroiliac (SI) joint is a big joint at the bottom of your spine. SI joint problems cause a different type of low back pain. You may feel this pain in your buttock or the back of your thigh. Chiropractors treat this type of pain with chiropractic adjustment.

6. Other musculoskeletal problems including knee pain ankle pain, and shoulder pain.
