Q: How often should I be adjusted?
A: The frequency at which you should have your spine checked is different for every person. It will depend on the health of your nerves and how much spinal damage is present. The more often nerve pressure can be removed, however, the faster the body will heal. A specific plan of care will be tailored to your individual needs.

Q: Do adjustments hurt?
A: Not usually. Adjustments generally feel good. Sometimes, however, when a person is already in severe pain, or there is a significant amount of spinal degeneration present, some discomfort might be felt during the adjustment itself. Ordinarily, this sensation disappears shortly afterward as the nerve irritation is reduced. Every effort will be made to make your chiropractic experience as comfortable as possible.

Q: Is it bad to "crack" my own back?
A: This is something you should never do, nor should you ever let anyone except a trained professional attempt to adjust your spine. The proper relationship between the vertebrae and nerves is important to your health and should be taken seriously. Anyone can push on someone's back and make noise, but it takes years of training to know where to adjust, where not to adjust, in what direction, and when.

Q: How long will it take to fix the problem?
A: We perform a detailed and thorough analysis of the problem to evaluate how long it's been there, how severe it is, and how much degeneration (damage build-up) is present. Along with physical factors unique to each individual, we can determine the approximate length of corrective care for your recommendation.

Q: Once you have Chiropractic adjustments, do you have to keep going?
A: Of course not -- especially in our office. Our office policy has always been founded on choice. Our practice members are offered symptom care, corrective care, or maintenance care for their particular problem. People choose for themselves and we always respect the decision they make.

Q: What if I'm not sure if Chiropractic will help me?
A: Dr. Tashakor offers a free Consultation and Evaluation in his office, and if he thinks that we can't help you then he will let you know and refer you to one of the many physicians we work with, but if chiropractic can help, he will explain what treatment and how long.  At this point its up to you to decide.
