Common FAQ's
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a holistic approach to wellness that focuses on your nervous system function. Chiro - "by hand", - practic "practice" is exactly what it means, a practice done by hand. This is through the delivery of gentle adjustments that are done by hand, or a tool such as an activator or drop table.
By adjusting your spine, we work to support your nervous system and clear an subluxations that may present. This allows you to be adaptable to stressors, move well and flourish to be your best.
What does a nervous system based chiropractor mean?
A nervous system based chiropractor means that we look at your body as a whole. In addition to the reason you are coming in, we like to see how your nervous system is functioning. This includes how you are sleeping, what your digestion is like, how your energy levels are, how much stress is in your life, how you are adapting to that stress and so much more. We love to help you with your concern, but your nervous system is so smart and so powerful that we use a wide lens when starting care with each individual that comes in.
What is a subluxation?
A subluxation is a restriction in your spine that hinders the function of your nervous system.
When a subluxation is present, the communication between your brain and body is altered. We work to remove subluxations in your body so that optimal function can be restored.
Who do you work with?
Since we work with the nervous system, we see anyone with a spine :) This includes kiddos of all ages (yes, even newborns!), pregnant mamas, adults, athletes, and families of all ages. We specialize in seeing pregnant mamas and kiddos but the whole family is welcome!
If I start care, do I need to come forever?
Great question! In short, no you do not. At Flourish Family Chiropractic we are working with your body and your nervous system to make sure we get to the root cause surrounding the reason you are coming in. Say you have chronic back pain or you get headaches all the time, that is going to take time to resolve and let your body adapt to the changes made through adjustments. Just like it took a long time for this to develop, it will take more than a few adjustments to unwind and resolve fully.
​
Each care plan is tailored to each individual and will look different for everyone that comes in. We do regular check-ins and assessments to see how you are doing in order to best work with you.
​
We don't need to see you forever but our hope is that you feel good, move better, function at your best and flourish to your optimal levels through our nervous system care. Once a care plan is complete, we hope to decrease your care, showing that your nervous system has adapted!
​
Like the dentist and your teeth, your spine will never go away so adjustment tune ups are a great way to assist in your well-being as life goes on :)
What benefits does adjusting my child provide?
Adjusting children is a great way to ensure they are growing strong and developing on track. In babies, adjustments are very gentle and can help with colic, reflux, constipation, sleeping problems, breastfeeding/latching concerns, head shape, torticollis and more.
In kids these adjustments are also very gentle and optimize the nervous system function that controls reactivity, developmental milestones, asthma, digestion concerns, ability to focus, ear infections and more.
Im pregnant, how can you help me?
Congratulations! Chiropractic care during pregnancy is amazing and can help mama and baby flourish as they grow together. Adjustments during pregnancy are great at aligning mama's pelvis to provide optimal growth for baby to grow, allow for ease in delivery and allow for mama to have decreased pain and remain active during pregnancy.
Adjustments also help to regulate your nervous system so that your muscles, ligaments, organs are working at their optimal level to support growing your little one!
Do you take insurance or HSA/FSA payments?

This plan is catered to your needs and can include adjustments, cupping, scraping, stretching and corrective exercises.
