An adjustment is a quick, controlled force applied to a joint by a chiropractor’s hands or device. This helps restore motion to the joint, reduce pain, and improve function. Various techniques can be used depending on the patient and their preferences.
-
Certain adjustments cause a popping sound, which is just a change of pressure in the joint space that cases a bubble of gas to pop. Just like when you crack your knuckles. The sound does not indicate the quality of the adjustment. If those sounds make you nervous, there are other techniques we may utilize at Reform that do not cause any sound.

No. For example, an infant would never be adjusted the way an adult is. The pressure used to adjust a baby is less that the amount of force you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
The type of adjustment preformed depends on both patient and doctor preference so that both are comfortable. Some people prefer not to hear any popping noises so different techniques are utilized that do not produce that sound.

We pride ourselves on having a diverse set of skills to serve you best and want to utilize those resources fully.
Our prices are listed on our booking page so that you may decide if care is affordable for you before your first appointment. For most, our costs are comparable, If not more affordable than price-points with insurance companies.
We can provide a super-bill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have out-of-network coverage for chiropractic care. The best way to figure this out is by calling your insurance company directly. There is a chance they may not be able to fully reimburse you.

Absolutely! Babies can experience trauma during the birthing process, whether it’s a natural birth or a C-section. A well-functioning nervous system is crucial for a developing infant. Techniques used to adjust babies are very gentle and precise. In fact, some babies sleep right through their adjustments. The pressure used is less than what you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.
While kids might not have the language to communicate their stress or pain, they still hold it., As they start walking, carrying heavy backpacks, and trying new sports, they experience stress on their musculoskeletal system. Although kids are quite resilient, these activities can disrupt their nervous system. Proper spinal alignment ensures uninterrupted communication between the brain and body, helping them adapt, heal, and continue to develop. Childhood is an ideal time to start working toward optimal health!

We do not take or order imaging in our office, as X-rays typically do not alter our treatment methods or outcomes. In some cases, unnecessary imaging can do more harm than good. However, if there is significant trauma or if we suspect a more serious issue that requires special studies (such as X-rays, MRI, or diagnostic ultrasound), we will certainly refer you for those.

Chiropractic care helps you feel better, move better, and think better. Many people suffer from pain without finding relief. Chiropractic care is a minimally invasive treatment that helps eliminate acute or chronic pain and improves daily functioning.
Whether you are experiencing pain or not, consistent chiropractic care can help prevent problems before they significantly impact your daily life. Just like a balanced diet, regular dental care, and physical activity improve your well-being, regular chiropractic care can also enhance and maintain your overall health.
-
While we recommend regular chiropractic care, some may choose not to follow this suggestion. Treatment plans are customized on a case-by-case basis. Some individuals may need only a few visits to recover from an injury, while others might choose to come in on a weekly or monthly basis to maintain their well-being. We accommodate different preferences based on individual goals, lifestyle, and budget.
