Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Should I Wear to My Chiropractic Visit?
    Be sure to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that won’t interfere with your treatment. Avoid tight or restrictive clothing that could limit your range of motion during the examination or adjustment.
  • How Early Can I Be Seen For Chiropractic If I'm Pregnant?
    You can begin chiropractic care as early as the first trimester. Chiropractic adjustments during pregnancy are safe and can help alleviate common discomforts like back pain, hip pain, and sciatica. The goal is to manage pain and ensure proper alignment of your back, hips, and pelvis. When the joints move freely and are properly balanced, it can create more space for your baby, potentially contributing to a smoother and quicker labor and delivery. Dr. Kinzie will provide gentle chiropractic care tailored to help you stay comfortable and supported throughout your pregnancy.
  • Is Chiropractic Care Safe?
    Yes, chiropractic care is considered very safe when performed by a licensed and experienced chiropractor. The techniques used are gentle and non-invasive, designed to restore proper spinal alignment and promote healing. As with any form of healthcare, it's important to discuss any concerns with your chiropractor before starting treatment to ensure it’s the right approach for you.
  • How Often Do I Need to Come Back for Chiropractic Treatments?
    The frequency of your chiropractic visits depends on your individual condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. In the beginning, more frequent visits may be recommended to address acute issues or pain, while ongoing care may be less frequent as you progress. Your chiropractor will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that suits your needs and helps you achieve the best possible outcomes.
  • How Early Can Babies Be Adjusted by a Chiropractor?
    Babies can be adjusted as early as the first few days after birth. In fact, many parents choose chiropractic care for their newborns to help with issues like birth trauma, difficulty breastfeeding, or general discomfort. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are very gentle and specifically tailored to the needs of infants, focusing on the spine and nervous system to promote healthy development. Chiropractic care for babies can help ensure proper alignment and support optimal nervous system function, which can positively impact sleep, digestion, and overall well-being.
  • What is Chiropractic Care?
    Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to health that focuses on the alignment of the spine and nervous system. By using manual adjustments and other therapies, chiropractors help restore proper function, relieve pain, and support the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Chiropractic care is used to treat a variety of conditions, from back pain to headaches, and can improve overall wellness.
  • What is the "Popping" Sound During My Adjustments?
    The "popping" or "cracking" sound that can sometimes occur during an adjustment is caused by gas bubbles rapidly releasing from the joint as it moves. This happens when the joint is slightly separated, creating a small vacuum that the gas rushes to fill. While the sound can be noticeable, it is completely painless and harmless. It’s important to note that while the popping sound indicates that the joint has moved, it is not necessary for effective treatment, and adjustments can still be successful without it.
  • What Should I Expect During My First Chiropractic Visit?
    During your first visit, we’ll start with a thorough consultation where we’ll discuss your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. Afterward, you will undergo a physical exam to assess your posture, movement, areas of discomfort, and to make sure it’s safe to be adjusting you. Based on the findings, your chiropractor will develop a personalized treatment to address your needs. You can expect your first visit to last about 45-60 minutes, and we’ll take the time to answer any questions you have about your care.
  • What Are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care?
    Chiropractic care offers numerous benefits, including pain relief, improved mobility, and enhanced overall well-being. By addressing misalignments in the spine and nervous system, chiropractic adjustments help reduce pain, improve posture, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Regular chiropractic care can also boost energy, reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance athletic performance, helping you achieve better health and quality of life.
  • What Should I Wear to My Acupuncture Visit?
    Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the areas where acupuncture will be performed. Avoid tight or restrictive clothing that may limit your range of motion during the examination or treatment. This will help ensure that the session goes smoothly and effectively.
  • Does Acupuncture Hurt?
    Acupuncture needles are very thin, flexible, and sterile. In fact, you could fit around 10 acupuncture needles inside the width of a typical hypodermic needle used by medical doctors. Most patients only feel a mild sensation or slight poke during the insertion of the needles, and many don’t feel any discomfort at all. The risk of infection is extremely low because the practitioner uses single-use, sterilized needles and cleans the acupuncture points with alcohol swabs before inserting the needles.
  • How Does Acupuncture Work?
    Acupuncture works by stimulating specific points on the body with thin, sterile needles to promote healing and restore balance. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, this is believed to improve the flow of "Qi" (energy) through pathways called meridians. Modern research shows that acupuncture may stimulate the nervous system, releasing natural painkillers like endorphins and improving blood circulation. This helps reduce pain, inflammation, and stress, and can enhance overall health and wellness.
  • What is Acupuncture?
    Acupuncture is an ancient healing practice that stimulates specific points on the body to promote natural healing, reduce pain, and improve overall well-being. By using fine, sterile needles at precise locations, acupuncture helps balance the flow of energy (or "Qi") in the body, supporting your nervous system and encouraging it to heal itself.
  • What Should I Expect During My First Acupuncture Visit?
    During your first visit, we will conduct a comprehensive history and examination. Once the results are reviewed, we’ll pinpoint the areas of concern and create a personalized treatment plan. After the sterile needles are inserted, patients usually rest for about 20-25 minutes while the treatment takes effect. The initial visit typically lasts around an hour, with follow-up visits averaging 30 minutes. The effectiveness of the treatment can vary depending on the severity of the condition. Many patients experience immediate relief, while others notice improvements within a couple of days. Relief can last anywhere from a few hours to several weeks, and your treatment schedule may be adjusted based on your response. Although side effects are rare, some patients may experience mild nausea, bruising, muscle soreness, or difficulty sleeping after their first session. If this happens, don't worry—just let your healthcare provider know at your next visit.
  • What are the Benefits of Acupuncture?
    Acupuncture offers numerous benefits, including pain relief, reduced inflammation, improved circulation, and enhanced energy flow. It can help alleviate conditions such as chronic pain, headaches, stress, anxiety, and musculoskeletal issues. Many patients also experience improved sleep, better digestion, and an overall sense of well-being.
  • Can I Use My Insurance or Do You Accept Cash Payments?
    We accept a variety of insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Sanford, HealthPartners, and Medicare. However, please note that insurance typically only covers treatments for medical conditions, such as pain or injury. Wellness or maintenance care, which focuses on overall health and preventative treatments without pain or injury, is not considered a medical necessity and may not be covered by insurance. For those seeking wellness care, we also accept cash payments and offer affordable payment options.
  • Do You Accept HSA / FLEX Benefits?
    Yes, we do accept Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FLEX) benefits as a form of payment. These accounts can be used to cover chiropractic services, depending on your plan. Please check with your HSA/FLEX provider for specific details on coverage.
  • What is ChiroHealth USA?
    ChiroHealth USA (CHUSA), works like a membership program. For just a $49 annual family membership, you'll receive discounted pricing on all services and products. This is an excellent option for those with high-deductible insurance plans, out-of-network coverage, or for those who want to receive acupuncture care, as it is not covered by insurance.
  • Is Acupuncture Covered by Insurance?
    Unfortunately, chiropractic acupuncture is not covered by insurance. While some insurance plans may cover traditional acupuncture, coverage for chiropractic acupuncture specifically is usually not included. However, we offer ChiroHealth USA to help with acupuncture payment and make the treatment more affordable.
