Subluxations are the main cause of joint pain.

Learn more about why they’re harmful and how chiropractors can help.

Have you ever experienced unexplained joint pain, stiffness, or limited movement? You might be dealing with a subluxation, or partial dislocation of a joint.

Subluxations not only impact the joint itself, but also the surrounding soft tissues, making even simple movements uncomfortable. Whether they affect your spine or your wrist, subluxations come with a wide range of symptoms and require attention from a skilled health professional.

But the good news is that they’re treatable—and often preventable.

Yes! Chiropractors do not hold a medical degree but they do hold a doctorate of chiropractic degree and spend years studying anatomy, orthopedics, physiology, and more.

At Oviedo Chiropractic, we understand why some of our patients are hesitant to seek out chiropractic care, but we also consider it our mission to reeducate them about how much chiropractors can benefit them.

Spoiler alert: It’s so much more than cracking your back for you.

In this article, we’ll answer your most burning question: “What does a chiropractor do?”

It could almost be a word association game: I say “chiropractor,” you say “cracking people’s backs.” But there’s got to be more to chiropractic care than that, right? What exactly is going on at the chiropractor’s office?

Chiropractors receive a lot of training, but they’re not guarding any proprietary secrets.

At Oviedo Chiropractic, we love to educate our clients on the type of care they’re receiving when visiting a chiropractor, so we’ve pulled back the curtain to answer your most burning question…”What does a chiropractor do?”

Understanding your payment options is crucial.

The good news? Insurance is a viable option for your chiropractic care!

Most chiropractic services are covered by insurance, but it’s important to understand which type of coverage (healthcare, Medicare, or car insurance) is available so you get the most out of your treatment.

If you’re one of the 35 million patients who benefit from chiropractic adjustments each year, you’re probably interested in ways to avoid paying out of pocket. Fortunately, there are many occasions when your insurance does offer coverage for chiropractic services. Let’s dig a little deeper to see when you may or may not be covered.
