Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractors focus on the spine, muscles, and nervous system, treating bones, muscles, soft tissues, and joints that are used daily. These components not only support your weight and stabilize your body but also protect your organs and facilitate movement. They are intimately connected to other vital systems in your body, making the expertise of chiropractors in spine care invaluable. 

Medical professionals, researchers, and the broader health community depend on chiropractors to assess, diagnose, and treat conditions and injuries related to these areas. For optimal health and quality of life, integrating chiropractic care into your healthcare regimen is essential.

At Thrive Chiropractic we treat a variety of conditions including back pain, neck pain, scoliosis, TMJ issues, headaches, and joint pain, as well as issues related to pregnancy, poor posture and sports injuries.  Conditions such as sciatica and arthritis are also addressed. 

You don't necessarily need to show symptoms to benefit from chiropractic care, as our philosophy emphasizes maintaining a nervous system that functions free of interference.

During your first visit, we'll conduct a thorough health history review, spinal assessment, orthopedic and/or neurological exams,  posture analysis, x-ray referral (if needed); personalized care plan recommendations, and the start of chiropractic care.

*Most patients, receive treatment on their first visit, unless otherwise contraindicated or additional tests, such as X-rays or MRIs are required.*

No, you do not need X-rays on your first visit. If X-rays or other imaging are recommended, Dr. Roman will give you a medical order at the time of your visit.

We use a variety of techniques, including spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, spinal decompression therapy, and rehabilitation therapies such as Class IV laser therapy.

It’s completely normal to feel a bit anxious. While some patients may experience mild discomfort briefly, most are pleasantly surprised by the immediate relief they feel after treatment. Dr. Roman will guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your comfort and understanding are prioritized at all times.

Yes, Dr. Roman is educated and trained to treat patients of all ages, including children and pregnant women. Just like adults, children are susceptible to stresses and injuries affecting the spine. Common reasons parents seek chiropractic care for their children include the treatment and management of spinal and extremity pain, sports injury prevention, scoliosis, and overall wellness care.

Chiropractic care during pregnancy is often sought for several reasons, primarily aimed at managing discomfort and promoting overall wellness. Common reasons pregnant women might seek chiropractic care include back pain relief, pelvic alignment, improved mobility, posture support, and overall wellness.

The frequency of visits depends on your diagnosis and the severity of your symptoms. Some patients may require multiple visits per week, while others may only need periodic (monthly) maintenance adjustments for wellness. Dr.Roman will discuss your individual treatment plan during your initial visit.
