Frequently Asked Questions

  • Choosing a chiropractor isn’t just about finding someone nearby—it’s about finding someone who takes the time to understand your body, your goals, and what you actually need to get better.

    At Martin Family Chiropractic, care is built around a simple idea: fewer patients, more time, and better outcomes.

    Here’s what makes our approach different:

    • One-on-one, unhurried appointments
      Every visit is focused entirely on you. You won’t be rushed, rotated between providers, or treated like just another number.

    • Care tailored specifically to your body and goals
      No cookie-cutter plans or long-term contracts. Your care evolves based on how you’re actually progressing.

    • Precision, hands-on adjustments
      Care is delivered directly by Dr. Martin using a skilled, hands-on approach. If you’ve struggled to get results in the past—or feel like your body is “hard to adjust”—you’re in the right place.

    • Focused on fixing the root cause
      The goal isn’t temporary relief. We work to identify and address what’s actually causing the problem so you can stay better long-term.

    • Clear, straightforward pricing
      No insurance restrictions, no surprise bills, and no pressure. Just honest, transparent care.

    As your body adapts throughout pregnancy, it’s common to experience:

    • Low back and pelvic pain

    • Hip discomfort

    • Increased muscle tension

    • Changes in posture and movement

    Our approach is always gentle, specific, and adapted to each stage of pregnancy. Dr. Martin uses modified techniques and positioning to ensure both comfort and safety.

    Many women choose chiropractic care during pregnancy to:

    • Reduce pain and tension

    • Improve mobility and comfort

    • Support better overall movement as the body changes

    If you’re pregnant and considering care, we’re happy to discuss your specific situation and make sure it’s the right fit for you.

  • Chiropractic care is an extremely safe and beneficial option for children.

    That said, not every child needs care. We take an individualized, conservative approach and only recommend treatment when it’s truly needed.

    Kids’ bodies are constantly growing, adapting, and experiencing physical stress from things like:

    • Sports and activities

    • Falls and minor injuries

    • Poor posture (especially with screens and school)

    • Rapid growth phases

    Gentle chiropractic care can help support healthy movement, joint function, and overall physical development.

    Adjustments for children are very different from adults—they are:

    • Extremely light and controlled

    • Tailored to the child’s age and size

    • Focused on comfort and safety

    Parents often seek care for their children to help with:

    • Neck or back discomfort

    • Posture issues

    • Sports-related aches and injuries

    • General mobility and movement

    If you’re unsure, we’re happy to talk through your child’s specific situation and help you make an informed decision.

  • No Problem!

    Some patients prefer a quick tune-up to stay moving well or get relief from minor stiffness—and we’re happy to accommodate that.

    Even when you come in for a shorter visit, we take the time to understand what’s going on and deliver care that’s specific and effective.

    Our goal is to meet you where you are—whether that’s quick relief or a more comprehensive approach.

  • Chiropractic care is very effective for many musculoskeletal conditions—but it’s not always the right solution.

    You should seek immediate medical care or consult with a physician first if you are experiencing:

    • Severe or worsening neurological symptoms (significant weakness, loss of coordination, loss of bowel or bladder control)

    • Signs of fracture (recent trauma with severe pain, inability to bear weight)

    • Unexplained weight loss, fever, or systemic illness

    • Sudden, severe, or unusual headache unlike anything you’ve experienced before

    In these cases, proper medical evaluation is essential before considering chiropractic care.

    For pretty much everything else—especially joint pain, stiffness, movement limitations, and many nerve-related issues—chiropractic care is often a great first step.

    We take a conservative, patient-first approach. If your condition falls outside of what we can appropriately treat, Dr. Martin will always point you in the right direction and make sure you get the care you need.
