Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I look for in a doctor and how do I find one that is right for me?

A: Credentials, experience, valuable referrals - these are just a few elements of a qualified doctor. Most importantly, you should try to find a doctor you trust. One you can talk to freely, sharing your concerns and questions.

Miami Valley Chiropractic Society doctors are licensed, experienced professionals who put their patients' health above all else. Our doctors will work with you in detecting the source of your problem and planning a course of care. Our doctors will listen to your needs and tailor a care program to your unique condition. And above all else, our doctors will be your partner - working with you to achieve wellness and long-term health.


Q: How long does it take for chiropractic to work?

A: It depends upon your overall health and amount of time you have suffered from a condition. Many patients usually feel improvements within a short period of time. Once the condition has been resolved, patients benefit from regular checkups helping to detect and resolve new problems, or recurrences of old ones, before they become serious.


Q: But my back doesn't hurt! Why would I need chiropractic care?

A: Whether we're looking at an infant or a senior citizen, one fact remains consistently true … the body's nervous system controls and coordinates every cell, tissue, and organ in the body. Chiropractors detect and correct interferences to normal nerve transmission so the body can function at peak efficiency.


Q: Do chiropractors provide care for children?

A: As with all health conditions, early detection is the key to successful treatment. It's a good idea to have children checked periodically for neck, spine, and other injuries or conditions. Ask for a doctor who has had special training in the safe and effective treatment methods for children.


Q: I've been to traditional medical doctors, and they can't find the source of my pain. They say I'll just have to learn to live with it.

A: The key to getting relief from unexplained pain is to find the real underlying cause of it. It can be many things … your nervous system runs down your spine and throughout your body. Lifestyle and/or trauma can have far reaching effects on your health. Many kinds of pain and poor health can be addressed with specialized care from a Doctor of Chiropractic. Our techniques have a powerful effect on freeing your body's inborn ability to heal itself. In fact, our patients frequently report a wide variety of "other" conditions that improve while getting care for a condition that caused them to seek out the chiropractor.
