Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractors diagnose and care for problems of the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Using gentle, hands-on adjustments and supporting therapies, we help restore movement and ease pain by addressing the root cause — not just the symptom — without drugs or surgery as the first step.

For most people, chiropractic adjustments are very safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. We begin with a thorough history and exam to make sure care is appropriate for you, and we tailor the technique and force to your age, comfort level, and condition.

Most patients feel little to no discomfort, and often immediate relief. You may hear a soft "pop," which is simply gas releasing from the joint. If you are sore, tense, or prefer low-force care, we offer gentle and instrument-assisted techniques.

No. You can book directly with us — no physician referral required. If you plan to use insurance and your specific plan happens to require a referral, let us know when you book and we will talk through the details before your visit.

It depends on your condition, how long you have had it, and your goals. After your exam we recommend a specific, time-bound plan with a clear endpoint — never open-ended treatment. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within the first few weeks.

Coverage for chiropractic care varies from plan to plan, so the best first step is to check your specific benefits — including any deductible, co-pay, or visit limits — with your insurer. Have questions about insurance or payment? Call our office before your first visit and we will be glad to talk it through.

Common reasons people see us include back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, disc problems, whiplash and auto-injury, sports injuries, and poor posture. Care can also support everyday mobility and overall wellness.

Dr. Kincaid is Webster Technique certified and an accredited prenatal chiropractor, and every visit uses gentle, pregnancy-safe techniques and positioning adapted to each stage of pregnancy.

Yes. Pediatric chiropractic uses very light, age-appropriate pressure to support comfort, posture, and healthy development. Dr. Kincaid has advanced training in pediatric spinal and cranial assessment and adjusting, tailors every visit to the child, and always keeps parents involved.

Your first visit starts with listening. We take your history, perform a thorough exam, explain what we find in plain language, and — when clinically appropriate — provide your first gentle adjustment the same day.

That sound is called cavitation — a small release of gas, like bubbles, from the fluid inside your joint. It is normal, painless, and not your bones cracking. Some gentle techniques produce no sound at all.

They overlap and often work well together. Chiropractic focuses on restoring proper joint motion and nervous-system function through adjustments, massage targets soft tissue, and physical therapy emphasizes rehabilitative exercise. Alongside adjustments, we use targeted soft-tissue techniques such as myofascial release and trigger point therapy when they fit your goals.

No. We build a plan with a real finish line. Some patients choose occasional maintenance or wellness visits because they simply feel and move better, but that is always your choice — never a requirement.
