What does a chiropractor do?

A chiropractor evaluates and manages certain musculoskeletal concerns involving joints, muscles, movement, and spinal function. Care may include manual or instrument-assisted techniques, mobility-focused approaches, and patient education when clinically appropriate.

What conditions do chiropractors commonly evaluate?

Chiropractors commonly evaluate concerns such as back pain, neck pain, stiffness, sciatica-related symptoms, headaches associated with musculoskeletal issues, and some injury-related complaints. The appropriate type of care depends on the individual diagnosis and examination findings.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care is generally considered a conservative approach for appropriately selected musculoskeletal conditions, but no treatment is risk-free or appropriate for everyone. A proper history and evaluation help determine whether chiropractic care or another type of assessment is more appropriate.

What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment involves applying a controlled force to a joint based on the patient's examination findings and treatment plan. The specific technique can vary depending on the patient and clinical situation.

Does a chiropractic adjustment always make a popping sound?

No. Some techniques may produce an audible joint sound while others do not. A popping sound is not required for an adjustment or other chiropractic technique to be performed.

How many chiropractic visits will I need?

There is no single number of visits that is appropriate for every patient. Recommendations depend on your condition, examination findings, goals, progress, and response to care.

What should I expect at my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first visit generally includes a health history, discussion of your symptoms, and an evaluation of relevant musculoskeletal findings. Your provider can then explain the findings and discuss appropriate next steps.

Can chiropractic care help with back pain?

Chiropractic care may be appropriate for some types of musculoskeletal back pain. An evaluation is needed to understand the likely source of symptoms and whether chiropractic management is suitable.

Can chiropractic care help with neck pain?

Some patients with musculoskeletal neck pain may be candidates for chiropractic care. The appropriate approach depends on the cause of symptoms and individual clinical findings.

Can chiropractic care help with sciatica?

Sciatica describes symptoms that can have different underlying causes. A chiropractic evaluation may help determine whether conservative chiropractic care is appropriate or whether another type of medical assessment is indicated.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Texas?

Referral and coverage requirements can vary depending on your insurance plan and individual circumstances. Contact Moore Chiropractic or your insurer if you need confirmation for your specific plan.

Understanding Chiropractic

What Is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a form of healthcare focused primarily on the musculoskeletal system, including joints, muscles, movement, and spinal function.

Chiropractors evaluate symptoms and movement to determine whether conservative chiropractic management may be appropriate. Depending on the patient's needs and clinical findings, care may include manual or instrument-assisted techniques, mobility work, and patient education.

Not every condition is appropriate for chiropractic care. When symptoms suggest that another type of medical evaluation is needed, an appropriate referral or additional assessment may be recommended.

Marcella Palaferri

Dr. Moore is a fantastic practitioner who definitely understands the complexities of the human form. He has helped me tremendously over the last few months to allow my back to relax and heal. The entire staff is upbeat, helpful and over phenomenal people who care about their patients.

Alicia Rogers

I was hesitant about going to a chiropractor. I was an athlete growing up and have continued a rigorous workout routine into adulthood. Visiting Dr. Moore has upped my game and strengthened areas of my body that I didn’t realize were weak. Squatting is easier , pain in my neck is gone and I’m noticing I’m more comfortable in positions of rest. Visit Dr. Moore… it’s not “scary” and he is an expert in his craft!!

Melinda Castillo

I’ve been coming for two months. I wish I had came years ago. The pain was unbearable. With the treatments that I have received, I feel like my old self again. The pain has subsided tremendously and I’m in a happy mood every day. Can’t wait to do the exercises the doctor has instructed me.

Erin Seki

Great place. The service is wonderful and the treatments addressed all of my issues. Highly recommend.

Corinne

Dr Moore is experienced, knowledgeable, and kind. Appointments are quick and efficient, and he’s fantastic with kids. His staff is also thorough and kind, which makes the whole experience even better. We’ve had a great experience and highly recommend him.

Nathan Canales

Best service I’ve ever had. Not a regular chiropractor. This a FUNCTIONAL chiropractor that’s been healing my back for over two months and can say best chiropractor I’ve visited since my back injury.
