Chiropractor Q & A

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and treating disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. At Chiropractic Rehabilitation and Acupuncture, Dr. Ferguson uses hands-on spinal adjustments and manipulations to restore proper alignment of vertebrae. This helps relieve pressure on nerves, reduce muscle tension, and promote more efficient function of the skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems.

What conditions can benefit from chiropractic treatment?

A variety of symptoms and conditions may respond well to chiropractic care, including:

Back pain (upper, lower, and mid-back)
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches and tension headaches
Joint pain (shoulders, wrists, knees, hips)
Sciatica and nerve-related discomfort
Postural issues and poor alignment

Even if symptoms are mild or intermittent, early chiropractic intervention can prevent progression into more serious conditions. Discomfort that seems “small” can evolve into chronic issues if ignored.

How does chiropractic care work?

Chiropractic adjustments involve precise manual techniques where vertebrae or joints that are misaligned or restricted are gently manipulated back into proper position. This realignment helps restore mobility, ease pressure on nerves, and improve circulation.

Soft tissue therapies—such as massage, stretching, and trigger point work—often accompany adjustments to relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility. Dr. Ferguson uses diagnostic assessments (posture analysis, imaging if needed, physical examination) to tailor each treatment plan to your unique anatomy and condition.

What are the benefits of chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care offers several key benefits:

Reduced pain and inflammation
Improved flexibility, range of motion, and joint function
Enhanced mobility and ease of movement in daily activities
Better posture and fewer muscular imbalances
Support for nervous system health and overall wellness

Many patients also report improvements in sleep quality, increased energy, and reduced reliance on pain medication when chiropractic care is integrated into their health plan.

What should you expect during your chiropractic journey?

During your first visit, Dr. Ferguson will perform a thorough evaluation—including medical history, physical exam, and possibly imaging—to identify sources of pain or dysfunction. Treatment may begin with adjustments supplemented by soft tissue work, exercises, or supportive therapies. Over time, follow-up sessions help you progress toward greater strength, balance, and lasting relief.
