MVMT Chiropractic uses a three-phase approach: (1) Pain Relief — addressing acute symptoms quickly with the most appropriate treatment combination; (2) Return to Sport or Activity — a progressive, guided return to full function; and (3) Wellness and Performance Care — periodic maintenance and optimization for patients who want to stay at their best long-term. Your experience is non-negotiable at every phase.

How many chiropractic visits will I need?

The number of visits depends on your condition, its severity, and your goals. Most patients in the pain relief phase visit 2 to 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks. Your chiropractor will discuss a recommended plan at your first appointment and adjust it as you progress.

What is spinal decompression and what conditions does it treat?

Spinal decompression uses gentle, computer-controlled traction to relieve pressure on compressed spinal discs and nerves. It is most effective for disc herniations, bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, facet syndrome, and neck and back pain with a disc component. MVMT Chiropractic uses the Accu-Spina IDD Therapy system for precise, level-specific decompression.
