Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractors diagnose and care for problems of the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Using gentle, hands-on adjustments and supporting therapies, we work to restore movement and ease pain by looking for the root cause — not just the symptom — without drugs or surgery as the first step.

For most people, chiropractic adjustments are very safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. We begin with a thorough history and exam to make sure care is appropriate for you, and we tailor the technique and force to your age, comfort level, and condition.

Most patients feel little to no discomfort. You may hear a soft "pop," which is simply gas releasing from the joint. If you are sore, tense, or prefer low-force care, we offer gentle instrument-assisted techniques such as the Activator Method.

No. In Florida you can see a chiropractor directly — no physician referral required. You can request an appointment with us directly.

It depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. After your exam we explain what we found and recommend a plan suited to you. Everyone responds differently, and individual results may vary.

Common reasons people see us include back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, shoulder and knee pain, plantar fasciitis and other overuse injuries, and poor posture. Dr. Walsh also uses Nutrition Response Testing® to look at nutrition-related concerns such as digestion, energy, and weight.

Allow a little extra time for your first visit. We listen to your story, perform a thorough exam, and explain what we find in plain language, with a written report of findings and recommendations. The new-patient evaluation does not include an adjustment; if one is appropriate on your first day, it is a separate service.

That sound is called cavitation — a small release of gas, like bubbles, from the fluid inside your joint. It is normal, painless, and not your bones cracking. Some gentle techniques produce no sound at all.

They overlap and often work well together. Chiropractic focuses on restoring proper joint motion and nervous-system function through adjustments, while massage targets the muscles and soft tissue. We offer both, so your care can include the right mix for your goals.

No. Your care is always your choice. Some patients choose occasional wellness visits because they simply feel and move better, but that is never a requirement.
