Question 1

What is chiropractic care?

Accepted Answer

Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline focused on the diagnosis and treatment of neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on manual adjustment and manipulation of the spine. The goal is to reduce pain, improve function, and support the body's natural ability to heal itself.

Question 2

Is chiropractic treatment safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes, chiropractic care is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for musculoskeletal complaints. Dr. Tyler Johnson uses gentle, precise techniques tailored to each patient's needs and comfort level.

Question 3

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Accepted Answer

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during an adjustment. You may hear a popping sound, which is simply gas being released from the joint — similar to cracking your knuckles. Many patients report immediate relief and relaxation afterward.

Question 4

How many treatments will I need?

Accepted Answer

It varies based on your condition, how long you've had it, and your health goals. After your initial exam, Dr. Tyler will recommend a personalized plan. Many patients notice improvement within the first few visits.

Is dry needling the same as acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

No. Dry needling targets specific muscular trigger points to release tension and improve function, based on Western anatomy and neuroscience. Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine.

Question 16

Do you adjust babies and children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We provide gentle pediatric chiropractic for newborns and children. Adjustments use very light fingertip pressure — about the same as checking the ripeness of a tomato.

Question 19

How does AMIT work?

Accepted Answer

Eight reflex centers are worked on and adjustment of three spinal segments re-activates proper neurological function for that muscle. Once reactivated, the muscles can respond to strength exercises.
