This is a very important question. I am sure you have Googled Chiropractic or Chiropractic Adjustments - there are many different ways to adjust a patient. Dr. Shelton uses a technique called "Prone Specific". It is a very gentle and effective way to adjust the spine.

We are in-network with a few insurance companies, but if you don't see us listed on your insurance list (sometimes that happens) Just call us and let us verify your chiropractic benefits for you!! NO STRESS!

After the initial consultation, treatment may be provided during the same office appointment. In many cases, the patient typically has their follow-up visit the next day. During this appointment, Dr. Shelton will go over your x-rays and proceed with treatment. Every treatment varies and is uniquely designed for the patient depending on his or her condition. You can expect the doctor to perform chiropractic adjustments, stretching techniques, and exercises that will adjust the alignment of your body. Commonly, treatments also include dietary and nutritional counseling and lifestyle modification counseling. You will be surprised how simple adjustments in your diet can improve how you are feeling. In addition, modifying how you exercise, sleep, and perform everyday activities can dramatically improve the discomfort you are experiencing.

While chiropractic services are typically associated with joint pain and spinal alignment, good chiropractic care can help with a lot of different issues you may not have considered. Dr. Melissa Shelton cares for the whole patient, not just the current problem, so patients can live fuller, healthier lives. In many cases, where you feel pain is not the source of the problem, for example, a sore calf muscle may be caused by a tight hip flexor or a pinched nerve.
