Follow-up frequency varies based on your condition, activity level, and wellness goals. Our aim is fast pain relief followed by a sustainable maintenance schedule, allowing you to manage your symptoms at home while we treat you.

The “pop” isn’t bones cracking—it’s gas releasing from joint fluid. This natural process occurs as the joint pressure changes and is part of what helps improve mobility. Some chiropractic techniques produce an audible pop or crack, while other techniques with light force produce no sound at all.

Tea Chiropractic treats newborns all the way to 90-year-olds. Chiropractors have been shown to be effective in treating cases of infantile colic, ear infections, and torticollis. Colic can be due to gastrointestinal upset, food sensitivities, or spinal trauma during birth, all of which chiropractic care can help with. With ear infections, the infant's ear canal has a different shape and length than adults, which makes it more difficult for the lymphatic system to drain fluid from the ears. Soft adjusting and muscle work to the upper back and neck can improve the drainage from the ears.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort. In fact, many feel immediate relief and increased range of motion after a session.

Absolutely—prenatal chiropractic supports pelvic balance, alleviates lower back pain, and promotes overall comfort during pregnancy. We also offer postnatal adjustments to help mothers recover core stability. As the baby grows, the added weight places more stress on the pelvis while increasing the curve in the lower back, which also places extra stress on the facet joints in the lumbar spine. Any pre-exisiting problems can be exacerbated as the spine and pelvis are taxed. On top of that, a woman's core abdominal musculature which stabilizes the lower back and pelvis becomes overstretched and weak, thus making the lower back more prone to injury and pain.

Definitely! We adjust and provide soft tissue therapy for all joints—shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles—paired with targeted rehab exercises for optimal results.
