We monitor progress closely and adjust treatment based on your response.

X-rays are only recommended when clinically necessary based on history, presentation, or red flags.

Why does chiropractic care help so many conditions?

Most spine-related pain comes from:

• Joint restriction
• Muscle tightness
• Disc compression
• Nerve irritation
• Poor posture or prolonged sitting

Chiropractic care restores motion, reduces mechanical stress, improves function, and helps the spine move the way it’s designed to.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Yes — chiropractic adjustments are extremely safe when performed by a trained, licensed chiropractor. Dr. Woodroof uses gentle, controlled techniques customized to each patient’s comfort level.

How many visits will I need?

This depends on:

• How long the problem has been present
• Severity and inflammation
• Whether there is nerve involvement
• How well the patient responds to treatment
• Work and lifestyle factors

Most patients see improvement quickly, with additional visits focused on long-term stability and prevention.

Can I see results if I’ve had this pain for years?

Yes. Even chronic, long-standing pain often improves when joint motion is restored and pressure on discs and nerves is reduced.

Do you treat patients without insurance?

Yes — we offer affordable self-pay options and same-day treatment.
