FAQ
What exactly does a chiropractic adjustment do?
At QC Chiropractic, an adjustment is more than just a "crack." It’s a precise, controlled correction that restores motion to joints that have become restricted — usually from stress, posture, injury, or just life doing what life does. When your spine is out of alignment, it puts pressure on nerves, messes with muscle function, and throws your whole system off. Adjustments help reset that — so your body can stop compensating, start healing, and actually move the way it’s supposed to.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. Most people feel relief instantly — and some even say it's their favorite part of the visit. It's quick, safe, and always tailored to your body.
What’s the difference between chiropractic care and physical therapy?
Think of it like this: chiropractic focuses on correcting the structure so your body can function properly, while physical therapy works more with muscle strength and movement patterns after injury. At QC, we combine the best of both — spinal adjustments, mobility training, and hands-on therapies — so you're not just stronger, you're moving with alignment and purpose. We don't believe in picking one lane when real results come from treating the whole system. W'’re not here to hand you a printout of exercises and call it a day. You get a full plan, guided care, and a team that actually pays attention to what your body needs to function at its best.
Does laser therapy hurt or have side effects?
Nope — zero pain, zero downtime, and no weird post-treatment drama. Class 4 laser therapy uses targeted light energy to reduce inflammation, increase circulation, and speed up healing at the cellular level. You'll feel a gentle warmth during treatment, and most patients leave feeling looser, lighter, and more mobile. It's safe, non-invasive, and pairs beautifully with chiropractic care when we're treating acute pain, chronic issues, or stubborn injuries. Bonus: It's one of our favorite ways to get faster results without relying on meds or guesswork.
Can chiropractic help with colic or sleep issues in infants?
Absolutely — and not just colic. Babies go through a LOT in the womb and during delivery, even in the smoothest births. Gentle chiropractic adjustments for infants can help relieve tension in the spine and nervous system, which often shows up as colic, reflux, poor sleep, difficulty nursing, and even digestive issues. We also see tons of mamas during pregnancy — because when your pelvis and spine are aligned, it supports better baby positioning, reduces low back pain, and may even help turn breech babies. Chiropractic care helps both mama and baby move better, rest better, and feel more at ease. And no, baby adjustments aren't the same as adult ones. They're soft, safe, and often done with the pressure you'd use to check a peach. We're here for growing bodies from the very beginning.
