The length of your chiropractic treatment will depend on the nature of your condition and the recommended treatment plan provided by your chiropractor. Typically, your initial consultation and examination will take about 30 to 60 minutes. During this time, your chiropractor will assess your condition, discuss your symptoms, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Follow-up treatments typically last between 15 to 30 minutes. The frequency of treatments varies based on your individual needs. Your chiropractor will work with you to establish a schedule that suits your recovery goals, and you can expect periodic reassessments to ensure that you’re progressing toward your goals. For more about the length of treatments, check out our Chiropractic Adjustments page.

During your first visit to East Coast Injury Clinic, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation from one of our experienced chiropractors. The first step is to conduct a detailed physical exam where your chiropractor will assess your posture, spinal alignment, and any specific areas of pain or discomfort. 

They will also take a thorough medical history to understand your current health status and any previous injuries or conditions that might be relevant. After reviewing your symptoms and discussing your goals for treatment, the chiropractor will recommend a personalized care plan that may include chiropractic adjustments and other therapeutic treatments. If appropriate, the chiropractor may perform an initial adjustment or therapy session during your first visit.

The cost of chiropractic care depends on several factors, including the type of treatment you require, the number of sessions needed, and whether you have insurance coverage. At East Coast Injury Clinic, we work with a wide range of insurance providers to help reduce your out-of-pocket expenses. 

If you’re concerned about the cost, our team can help you explore your insurance options, and we will provide a breakdown of any out-of-pocket expenses so that you can make informed decisions about your care. Our goal is to make the costs of your care clear before treatment begins.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally safe and well-tolerated by most patients. Some individuals may feel slight soreness, similar to the feeling after a workout, but this typically subsides within 24-48 hours. 

Your chiropractor will communicate with you during the treatment to ensure you’re comfortable, and if you experience any discomfort, they will adjust the technique to your needs. For more on what to expect from your chiropractic care, check out our Chiropractic Adjustments page.

The time it takes to feel relief varies depending on the severity of your condition, how long you’ve had the symptoms, and the type of treatment you are receiving. Some patients report feeling better after just one treatment, while others may need a series of treatments to experience significant relief. 

It’s important to note that chiropractic care is a process, and while you may feel some immediate relief, long-term improvements often require a series of treatments. Your chiropractor will work with you to monitor your progress and adjust your care plan to help you achieve the best possible outcome.

We offer a variety of therapies to relieve pain and promote healing. These include chiropractic adjustments, shockwave therapy for musculoskeletal pain, myofascial release for muscle tension, and physical therapy techniques to rehabilitate injuries and improve movement. Our goal is to provide a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your specific needs to ensure the best possible outcomes.

Some patients report feeling less tension after chiropractic care, especially as neck or back pain eases. However, chiropractic care is not a treatment for anxiety or stress disorders. If stress or anxiety is affecting your daily life, talk to your doctor.
