Frequently Asked Questions

First, you’ll meet with Dr. Riham Alnaji to discuss your health situation. If we think we can help, we’ll conduct a thorough examination to identify the likely cause(s) of your problem. We’ll tell you what we found, what we can do to help, how long it may take, and how much it will cost. If we feel that we cannot help you we will refer you to someone who can best treat you. We experience high levels of patient satisfaction because we explain everything in advance.

Chiropractic is a great natural, whole-body, drug-free approach to treating a variety of healthcare conditions.

Many patients who visit a chiropractor for neuromusculoskeletal conditions often end up noticing non-musculoskeletal benefits as well. These benefits include improved respiratory function, digestive function, vision, and circulation. In another study, chiropractic adjustments were shown to decrease blood pressure preventing heart attacks and strokes. Finally, many chiropractors work to care for the person as a whole from general wellness to disease prevention.

While Chiropractic has mainly focused on spinal manipulation in the past, it now includes a variety of treatments. These treatments include manual or manipulative therapies, posture correction, stretches and therapeutic exercises, nutritional counseling, supplements, custom orthotics, ultrasounds, and laser therapies.

There is a growing number of research studies and reviews that show the treatments provided by chiropractors are clinically safe and effective. You can read more about this on the American Chiropractic Association website. However, just like with any other doctor or treatment, make sure you do some research to find a good one with proper credentialing.

There are many clinical research studies showing the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for spine-related injuries, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, spinal manipulation in general, and more.

In the March/April 2007 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, the researchers reviewed nine previously published trials and found “high-quality evidence” that patients with chronic neck pain showed significant pain-level improvements following spinal manipulation. (ACA) Also, all groups showed positive improvement even 12 weeks after treatment. There are several more studies like this one on the American Chiropractic Association website.

Here are some other research studies:

• Chiropractic BioPhysics® is the most researched chiropractic technique in the world with over 200 Peer Reviewed Publications

• ScienceDirect has a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for migraines.

• The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has a comprehensive collection of research studies, chiropractic case studies and other published papers which show the efficacy of chiropractic care for children and pregnant women. (ICPA)

• ChiroACCESS has two studies showing medical research supports chiropractic maintenance care.

• Dr. ERICZ has 10 chiropractic research studies on neck, back, leg pain, and more.
