Q: What conditions do chiropractors treat?
A: Doctors of chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain and headaches, particularly with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskeletal system, involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. These painful conditions often involve or impact the nervous system, which can cause referred pain and dysfunction distant to the region of injury. DCs also counsel patients on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modification.

Q: How do I select a doctor of chiropractic?
A: There are a number of informative online resources to help you locate a chiropractor in your area. You can also select a DC is by getting a referral from a friend, family member, colleague, or another health care provider. Most insurance plans do not require a referral from your primary care physician, and most also cover chiropractic care with varying degrees of co-pays or deductible. Our office can help you find out if you have health insurance benefits to cover chiropractic care, and consultation is always free to talk about your symptoms. If you need to find a chiropractor in another area because you live closer to Knoxville or Middlesboro, we can also help you find a reputable chiropractor who will give you a thorough evaluation. Not all chiropractic offices are created equally, and we always strive to provide ethical, results-oriented health care!
