Frisco Chiropractors
Provide All Ages Care

We do not have set care plans for all patients. We treat everyone like an individual, since each person heals at a different rate. Factors that will affect how many adjustments are necessary include age, fitness level, activity level, stress level, diet, and how long the problems have been developing in the first place.

Regardless of when the symptom first showed up, we find that most of our patients' problems originate in childhood from either sports, roughhousing, a fall, or bad posture. Because it took a lifetime to get you where you are today, it can sometimes take some time to correct it. The simple answer is that we can predict and expect great results, but we simply cannot predict how quickly they will happen.

While there are many great chiropractors, there are also many ways to practice. Trying to sift through all the many variations can be tough, but we'd like to give you a few helpful hints for your search.

1. Unless you have a unique situation, such as being pregnant or the appointment for a young child, you should expect X-rays done. This is so important to not only see any possible contraindications to getting adjusted, but also for the doctor to see exactly what's going on. There should never be guesswork when examining the spine. Seeing the X-rays will help to be more precise in the treatment plan.

2. We believe every chiropractor should specialize in something. Getting all the general knowledge from school can still make a great chiropractor, but if they specialize in any technique, treatment or condition, it simply takes their skill set to a whole other level. If you want the best in your area, find a specialist.

3. Precision. There are still many chiropractors who give a cookie-cutter treatment to every patient they see. This general approach may still help some, but will leave many patients scratching their heads thinking chiropractic just doesn't work. There's a famous saying: "never question the benefit of chiropractic, but its application."

You want to find someone who will create a specific plan for you as an individual. Then when the adjustment is made, it should be looking to correct individual bones, not just general regions. While it seems obvious to have a targeted approach, it is unfortunately not always the case. Movement is important, but specificity is key.
