The 5 Most Common Questions About Chiropractic Care

 The 5 Most Common Questions About Chiropractic Care

By Aaron David Corley, D.C. | 941-539-3412

Chiropractic care has gained popularity as a natural, drug-free way to relieve pain and improve overall health. However, many people still have questions about what chiropractors do and how they can benefit from care. Below, we answer five of the most common questions about chiropractic treatment.

1. What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to restore proper function and alleviate pain. The goal is to help the body heal itself without the need for drugs or surgery.

Spinal misalignments, also known as subluxations, can interfere with nerve communication, leading to pain, discomfort, and decreased mobility. Chiropractic adjustments realign the spine, allowing the nervous system to function optimally.

2. What Conditions Can a Chiropractor Treat?

Chiropractors primarily treat conditions related to the spine, but their care can benefit the entire body. Some of the most common conditions treated include:

  • Back pain – One of the leading reasons people seek chiropractic care.
  • Neck pain and text neck – A growing issue due to increased screen time.
  • Headaches and migraines – Often linked to spinal misalignments and poor posture.
  • Sciatica – Pain radiating down the leg due to nerve compression.
  • Joint pain – Including shoulder, hip, and knee discomfort.

Chiropractic care can also improve posture, enhance mobility, and support overall wellness.

3. Is Chiropractic Care Safe?

Yes! Chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe, non-invasive treatment for musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training to ensure they provide effective, evidence-based care. Research shows that chiropractic adjustments have a very low risk of adverse effects, especially when compared to medications or surgery.

Patients may experience mild soreness after an adjustment, similar to what they might feel after exercise. However, serious complications are extremely rare. A thorough consultation and examination help determine if chiropractic care is right for each patient.

4. How Many Adjustments Will I Need?

The number of visits required varies based on the patient’s condition, health history, and treatment goals. Some people experience relief after just one or two visits, while others may need a series of adjustments to achieve long-term results.

Generally, chiropractors recommend an initial intensive care phase to address pain and dysfunction, followed by a maintenance phase to prevent future issues. Regular chiropractic care can help keep the spine in alignment and support overall health.

5. Can Chiropractic Care Help With “Text Neck”?

Absolutely! Text neck is a modern health concern caused by prolonged forward head posture while using smartphones and computers. This condition can lead to neck pain, headaches, and even long-term spinal issues.

Chiropractic care can help by:

  • Realigning the cervical spine to reduce strain on muscles and nerves.
  • Providing postural exercises and ergonomic recommendations.
  • Teaching spinal hygiene habits to prevent further damage.

If you frequently experience neck pain, stiffness, or headaches, chiropractic care can offer relief and long-term solutions.

Marijuana and FMCSA Rules

  Marijuana and FMCSA Rules By Aaron Corley, D.C., 941-539-3412 The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforces stringent drug testing regulations under 49 CFR Parts 382 and 40 to ensure safety in the transportation industry. Despite increasing state-level legalization of marijuana, FMCSA maintains a zero-tolerance policy for its use among commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, reflecting the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) stance that marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. This creates significant implications for drivers, employers, and the industry. FMCSA mandates drug testing for CMV drivers in pre-employment, post-accident, random, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up scenarios. A positive marijuana test—defined as THC levels at or above 50 ng/mL (initial test) or 15 ng/mL (confirmatory test)—results in an automatic failure. Consequences include immediate removal from safety-sensitive duties, a “prohibited” ...

Lose 30 lbs as a Truck Driver By Aaron Corley, DC Truck drivers are the lifeblood of our economy.

If that’s you, I’ve got good news: you can lose 30 pounds , and you don’t need a fancy gym or some magic diet. All you need is a simple plan, a little commitment, and a few tools to work with your lifestyle, not against it. As a chiropractor who works with DOT drivers daily, here’s what I recommend: 1. Cut the Sugar & Liquid Calories The number one enemy? Sugary drinks. That includes sodas, energy drinks, sweet tea, and even those "healthy" fruit juices. Goal: Cut out 1 soda or energy drink per day. Replace it with water or unsweetened iced tea. Result: This one change can drop 10–15 pounds over several months—without doing anything else. 2.
