Chiropractic Care That Goes Further

Last reviewed by Dr. Jeremiah Shaft, DC on May 21, 2026

Chiropractic care at True Health Chiropractic is built on a distinction that matters: there is a difference between feeling better and actually getting better. Many patients have been through rounds of care that provided relief between visits but never resolved the underlying problem. We take a different approach. Every care plan starts with understanding specifically what is driving your symptoms and follows a structured, phase-driven plan designed to produce lasting results.

What Chiropractic Care Is And How It Works

A chiropractic adjustment is a controlled, targeted movement applied to a joint that has lost normal motion or position. Performed most often on the spine but applicable throughout the extremities as well, adjustments restore proper joint mechanics, reduce the neurological interference that results from restricted segments, calm local inflammation and muscle guarding, and create the conditions the body needs to repair and function normally.

At True Health Chiropractic, chiropractic is the foundation of a broader care model called the Regenerative Longevity Framework. Rather than treating each visit as a standalone event, we organize care into four defined phases: Reset, Restore, Regenerate, and Sustain. This means every adjustment is part of a plan with a clear purpose and a defined destination, not a series of appointments with no end in sight.

What Chiropractic Care Can Help With

Chiropractic care at True Health supports a range of treatment goals depending on what the evaluation shows and what you are working toward.

Pain relief. Adjustments reduce joint restriction, decompress irritated nerves, and calm the muscular guarding patterns that amplify back pain, neck pain, and radiating symptoms.

Restored mobility. Restoring normal joint motion allows surrounding muscles and soft tissue to return to balanced function, reducing the stiffness that has gradually become your baseline.

Disc and nerve recovery. Techniques designed specifically for disc conditions, including flexion distraction, can reduce intradiscal pressure, relieve nerve compression, and support recovery of radiating symptoms in the arms or legs.

Headache relief. Many headaches originate from tension and restricted joint motion in the cervical spine. Adjustments that restore normal cervical mechanics often reduce both the frequency and severity of recurring headaches.

Athletic performance and recovery. Maintaining optimal joint mechanics reduces injury risk and allows the body to move with less restriction under load, supporting both recovery and performance.

Posture and structural correction. Chiropractic care addresses the compensatory patterns that develop from years of postural strain, improving structural alignment and reducing chronic tension over time.

A Structured Plan, Not a Series of Appointments

Our Approach to Chiropractic Care

Most chiropractic care follows a simple pattern: you come in with pain, you get adjusted, and you come back when the pain returns. We do not work that way.

Our care is organized around the Regenerative Longevity Framework, a phase-driven system we developed to take patients through four intentional stages of healing and optimization.

Phase 1: Reset

We calm the nervous system, reduce inflammation, and stabilize your body. This is where immediate relief begins, and it is built on a foundation designed to last.

Phase 2: Restore

We restore proper movement, joint mechanics, and spinal alignment. This is where function comes back and the patterns that caused your pain in the first place are addressed.

Phase 3: Regenerate

We support tissue repair at a deeper level using advanced therapies including Class IV laser and shockwave therapy alongside your chiropractic care. This phase is where lasting structural change happens.

Phase 4: Sustain

We equip you with the strategies, nutritional guidance, and lifestyle support to maintain your results and continue building on them. This is the phase most clinics never reach. For us, it is the goal.

Is a chiropractic adjustment painful?

Most patients experience relief during or immediately after an adjustment, not discomfort. Some patients feel a mild soreness after their first few visits, similar to what you might feel after a new workout, and it typically resolves within a day. We always adjust our technique to match your comfort level and your body’s response.

How long does a chiropractic appointment take?

Your first visit is longer because it includes a full consultation and examination, and often a Report of Findings. Follow-up appointments typically run 15 to 30 minutes depending on your care plan and what is being addressed that day.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends entirely on your condition, your goals, and how your body responds to care. After your examination we will give you a clear recommendation and explain the reasoning behind it. We do not put patients on indefinite plans. We build toward defined outcomes.

Do you see children?

Yes. We offer pediatric chiropractic care, using gentle, low-force techniques appropriate to younger patients. Children respond very well to chiropractic care, and addressing spinal concerns early can have meaningful long-term benefits.

Do you offer chiropractic care during pregnancy?

Yes. We offer prenatal chiropractic care, including the Webster Technique, which supports pelvic alignment and function during pregnancy. Our approach is safe, comfortable, and specifically adapted for expectant mothers.

Do you accept insurance for chiropractic care?

Yes. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Aetna, United Healthcare, Priority Health, Medicare, and Auto Accident coverage. Our team will verify your specific benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.

What makes your approach different from other chiropractors in the area?

We use the full range of chiropractic techniques, from gentle no-force methods to traditional manual adjusting, and we match the approach to the patient, never the other way around. We also integrate chiropractic into a broader, structured care plan that includes soft tissue work, advanced therapies, and nutritional support when appropriate. The goal is never just to relieve pain. It is to get you well and keep you that way.
