Request an AppointmentChiropractic Care Questions & Answers
What does a chiropractor do?
A chiropractor evaluates and treats problems of the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. At Grosman Family Chiropractic Clinic, our doctors use spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, therapeutic exercise, and other non-invasive treatments to relieve pain, restore movement, and help your body function at its best.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Greensboro?
No. Most patients can schedule directly with our office without a referral from a medical doctor. Some insurance plans may have their own referral requirements, so our staff is happy to verify your benefits before your first appointment.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic care is widely recognized as a safe, drug-free approach to treating many musculoskeletal conditions. Our doctors perform a thorough consultation and examination before any treatment to make sure care is appropriate for your health history and condition.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Most patients feel little to no discomfort during an adjustment, and many feel immediate relief. We offer both manual adjustments and the gentle, computerized Pro-Adjuster technique, which is ideal for patients who prefer a low-force approach.
What is the Pro-Adjuster?
The Pro-Adjuster is a computerized, instrument-based adjusting system that delivers precise, gentle corrections without twisting or popping. Our clinic has offered Pro-Adjuster treatments since 2007, and it is especially helpful for patients with osteoporosis, prior surgery, or sensitivity to manual adjustments.
What should I expect on my first visit?
Your first visit includes a consultation, a complete chiropractic examination, digital X-rays if needed, and a review of your findings. If treatment is appropriate, you may receive your first adjustment the same day along with home care instructions.
How long does a typical appointment take?
Your first visit usually takes about an hour because it includes your consultation and examination. Follow-up visits are typically much shorter, often 15 to 30 minutes depending on the therapies included in your treatment plan.
How many chiropractic visits will I need?
The number of visits depends on your condition, how long you have had symptoms, and your personal health goals. After your examination, our doctors will explain a personalized treatment plan, including how often you should come in and what results to expect.
Do you take X-rays?
Yes. Our office uses digital X-ray technology, which provides high-resolution images with less radiation than traditional film X-rays. X-rays are only taken when they are indicated by your condition and examination findings.
What conditions do you treat?
We treat a wide range of conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, headaches and migraines, sciatica, herniated discs, whiplash, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciitis, sports injuries, and auto accident injuries.
Can chiropractic care help after a car accident?
Yes. Many auto accident injuries, such as whiplash and soft tissue damage, may not cause symptoms right away. Our doctors evaluate both obvious and hidden injuries and create a treatment plan to reduce pain, restore mobility, and document your injuries properly.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Prenatal chiropractic care is safe for mothers having a normal, healthy pregnancy. Our doctors use specialized techniques and positioning that keep pressure off the abdomen while relieving back, hip, and pelvic discomfort.
Can children and infants see a chiropractor?
Yes. We provide gentle chiropractic care for infants and children. Pediatric adjustments use very light pressure and are tailored to a child’s size and stage of development.
Do you accept insurance?
Our office participates in most major insurance programs, including Medicare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, the State Health Plan of NC, and VA Community Care. Call us at (336) 292-9779 and we will verify your coverage before your first visit.
What if I do not have insurance?
Patients with little or no chiropractic coverage can still receive care. Payment programs can be arranged, and all fees are discussed before any services are provided.
Do you accept workers’ compensation and personal injury cases?
Yes. We accept auto accident, personal injury, and workers’ compensation cases. Our team can help you understand the process and coordinate with the appropriate parties.
What is wellness or maintenance care?
Wellness care is a long-term plan that follows your initial corrective phase of treatment. Periodic adjustments help keep your spine and nervous system working efficiently and can help prevent pain from returning.
What are your office hours?
Our Greensboro office is open Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm to 6:00 pm, and Wednesday from 8:00 am to 12:30 pm. We are closed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
