Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during a chiropractic adjustment. You may hear a popping sound, which is simply gas releasing from the joint — similar to cracking your knuckles. Some patients feel mild soreness for a day or two after their first few visits, much like after a workout. Dr. Chavez at Back 2 Health uses gentle, precise techniques to maximize comfort while delivering effective results.

The number of visits depends on your condition, its severity, and your individual health goals. After your initial exam, Dr. Chavez will provide a personalized care plan with a recommended treatment schedule. Acute conditions often improve within 6–12 visits, while chronic issues may require a longer course of care. Many patients at Back 2 Health Chiropractic choose to continue with periodic maintenance visits to stay feeling their best.

Dr. Chavez may recommend X-rays during your initial consultation if they are clinically indicated to better understand your spine’s structure and identify any underlying issues.

Not every patient requires X-rays, and Dr. Chavez will discuss his recommendation with you during your exam.
