Frequently Asked Questions About Ames Chiropractic & Wellness Center PLLC
Can I adjust myself?
No. Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific direction to a specific joint, it is virtually impossible to adjust oneself safely, correctly and accurately. It is possible to turn, bend, or twist in certain ways to create a "popping" sound that sometimes accompanies a chiropractic adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive, often making an already unstable spine even more unstable, and can sometimes be dangerous. Adjusting the spine is not for amateurs!
Are all patients adjusted the same way?
No. The doctor evaluates each patient's unique spinal problem and develops an individual course of care. Each chiropractic adjustment builds on the one before. The resulting recommendations are based on years of training and experience. Each patient's care is uniquely different from every other patient.
Can a person who had back surgery see a chiropractor?
Yes. It's an unfortunate fact that more than half of those who had spinal surgery discover a return of their original symptoms months or years later. They then face the prospect of additional surgery. This too common occurrence is known as "failed back surgery syndrome." Chiropractic may help prevent repeated back surgeries. In fact, if chiropractic care is used initially, back surgery can often be avoided in the first place.
Can I tell if I have a subluxation?
Not always. A subluxation is like a dental cavity - you may have it for a long time before symptoms appear. That's why periodic spinal checkups are so important. Although it may be possible to know you have a subluxation, it is rarely possible to be sure you don't. Regular spinal checkups are always a good idea, and they promote good health from the inside out.
Do children need chiropractic care?
Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked for vertebral subluxation. Naturally, chiropractic adjusting procedures are adapted for the child's spine. Many childhood health complaints that are brushed off can be traced to the spine. Health problems that emerge in adulthood could often be prevented by having your children's spine checked by a chiropractor early. Many parents report that their children enjoy their chiropractic adjustments and are healthier than their peers.
Does chiropractic care work for all types of health problems?
No, however chiropractic care is successful with a very wide variety of health problems outside of "back" problems because of improved nerve system function. With a normal nerve supply, the body's natural healing capacity can improve a variety of health problems.
I have government insurance (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare), does your office take it?
We’re glad you’re interested in chiropractic! We highly recommend setting up a free appointment to come see the office and speak with the doctor. Unfortunately, our office is not a provider for any government insurance, but we are happy to establish a cash contract with you! Call our team to schedule your tour and visit.
Is a good workout the same as getting adjusted?
No. Exercise is an important part of good health, yet without normal spinal function, a physical workout merely puts additional wear and tear on improperly functioning spinal joints.
Is chiropractic care addictive?
No. If only it were, there would be more healthy people around, and chiropractors would not get patients who last saw a chiropractor "a few years ago when their back went out." It is possible to get used to feeling more balanced, less stressed, and more energetic as a result of regular chiropractic care. Chiropractic is not addictive however, good health is.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care has an excellent safety record. It is the result of a conservative and natural approach to health that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. As proof, one merely has to compare malpractice rates between chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. Chiropractors' malpractice premiums are a small fraction of those for medical doctors.
Can I adjust myself at Ames Chiropractic & Wellness Center?
No, self-adjusting is not safe or effective because chiropractic adjustments require specific force and directions applied by a trained professional.

Can a person who had back surgery receive chiropractic care here?
Yes, chiropractic care may help prevent further surgeries and can often be an alternative to initial back surgeries.
Do children need chiropractic care at Ames Chiropractic & Wellness Center?
Yes, many parents have their newborns checked due to potential spinal trauma at birth; chiropractic care is adapted for children to promote long-term health.
