Hey everyone, welcome back to Dr. Kuns’ Chiro Chat! I’m Dr Wesley Kuns, and today we’re switching things up—this episode is all about YOU.
I get a lot of questions from patients about chiropractic care, and today, I’m answering some of the most common ones. Whether you’re new to chiropractic or just curious, stick around because you might learn something that can help you feel better, move better, and live better!
Question One: Is chiropractic care just for back pain?
Nope! While chiropractic care does help with back pain, it’s also great for neck pain, headaches, joint pain, mobility issues, and even sports performance. Think of it as tuning up your body—not just fixing problems when they show up.
Question Two: What actually happens during an adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle, controlled movement that helps realign the spine and joints. You might hear a popping sound, which is just gas being released from the joints—kind of like cracking your knuckles. Most people feel immediate relief and better movement afterward!
Question three: Do adjustments hurt?
Not at all! Most people describe them as relieving and even relaxing. If anything, you might feel a little sore, like after a workout, but that goes away quickly.
Question four: How often should I see a chiropractor?
That depends on your lifestyle and goals!
- If you’re injured or in pain, you might need a few visits close together to get back on track.
- If you just want to stay healthy and prevent problems, monthly maintenance visits work great for most people.
Last question: Can chiropractic care help with sports and fitness?
100%! Many professional athletes use chiropractic care because it improves flexibility, reduces injury risk, and speeds up recovery. Whether you’re hitting the gym, running marathons, or just staying active, regular adjustments can keep your body moving at its best.
That’s it for today’s Q&A session! If you’ve got more questions, feel free to send them my way—I might answer them in a future episode.
