Frequently Asked Questions

During your initial visit our doctors will go through a detailed history with you in order to fully understand your condition. They will then conduct a physical exam by testing your joints, muscles and nerve responses in order to determine an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan. You will also receive treatment during your first appointment so you can start your recovery from day one.

We understand that every body is different and may require a shorter or longer treatment time. Our chiropractors will communicate with each patient what their recommendations are regarding treatment time for each upcoming appointment. We offer 20, 30 and 40 minute treatments depending on the severity of the condition and/or the number of areas that need to be addressed. Typically, a regular follow up of 20 minutes is sufficient to address the concerns of most of our patients. 

Occasionally our doctors will refer patients for X-rays if they feel it is pertinent to the patient's treatment. Generally, X-ray referrals are requested in cases where fractures or more serious injuries and malignancies are suspected. It is not required for every patients to receive an X-ray to start treatment.

We offer a variety of appointment lengths depending on our patients' needs. Treatment times vary between 20-60 minutes. 

Spinal decompression is not a specific treatment offered at CMC, however our chiropractors and massage therapists have a plethora of techniques to assist with increasing joint movement and relieving muscle tension that often accompany reduced space within the spine. Studies have found that spinal decompression has not been shown to increase the patient's mobility or quality of life and that manual chiropractic techniques can be just as effective at a significantly decreased cost.

Homeopathy and naturopathic medicine are both holistic approaches to health, but they differ in their practices and philosophies.

Homeopathy offers an individualized approach to healing, using highly diluted natural substances to stimulate the body’s self-healing mechanisms based on the principle of "like cures like." By addressing the physical, emotional, and mental aspects of a person’s health, homeopathy provides a holistic, gentle, and personalized treatment that targets the root causes of symptoms and promotes overall well-being.

Naturopathic medicine is a broad approach that includes a variety of natural therapies such as herbal medicine, nutrition, acupuncture, and physical therapies, alongside lifestyle changes. Naturopaths emphasize supporting the body’s ability to heal itself through a combination of approaches tailored to the individual’s overall health needs.
