Do you offer same-day appointments?
Yes, walk-in appointments are welcome, and same-day visits are available!
Do you have payment plans?
Yes. Payment plans for individuals and families are available at Davis Chiropractic Center.
I work all day. Can you accommodate my schedule?
Yes. Dr. Gary and Dr. Preston are here during both early and late hours. We also see people during lunchtime to ensure that we work around your busy day.
Do you collaborate with other healthcare providers, including medical doctors?
Yes; we are happy to work in a team to co-manage your case with your other health care professionals. We collaborate with medical doctors, refer patients when needed, and often keep your family doctor informed of your care.
Will I receive treatment or an adjustment on my first visit?
Yes. We understand that when you’re suffering, you require immediate attention. Our chiropractors provide treatment—including adjustments—on the first visit.
Will I need X-rays?
X-rays are not required for everyone. Based on your history and exam, our chiropractors will determine if they are necessary. If so, we have on-site digital X-rays read by board-certified radiologists. When needed, we refer out for advanced imaging like MRI or CT scans.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Absolutely! Long-term research shows that chiropractic manipulation is one of the safest approaches for relieving pain compared to many medical options.
Once I go to a chiropractor, will I always have to go?
No, you don’t have to go forever. Treatment plans vary based on your condition, goals, and response to care. Most patients choose ongoing maintenance once they see the benefits of chiropractic care.
Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?
Adjustments are typically painless; some people report soreness similar to a hard workout. Our chiropractors tailor treatments to each patient and are happy to accommodate any concerns.
What chiropractic techniques do you practice?
Our chiropractors are highly skilled in a variety of techniques, including:
• Diversified
• Thompson Drop Table
• Activator
• Webster Technique (for breech pregnancies)
• Pediatric chiropractic care
• Sports chiropractic
• Extremity adjustments (TMJ, shoulders, hips, etc.)
• SOT Blocking

What can chiropractic help?
Chiropractic care can help with conditions such as back pain, neck pain, sciatica, bulging discs, headaches, migraines, sports injuries, pregnancy-related discomfort, plantar fasciitis, and certain types of arthritis.
Why would I have my newborn or young child adjusted?
Our doctors provide chiropractic care for infants and children to address issues like colic, breastfeeding challenges, and developmental concerns. We coordinate with other professionals to ensure your child receives well-rounded care.
How much does it cost?
Costs vary depending on your insurance and the services provided. We are happy to verify your coverage and copays in advance. Competitive self-pay rates are also available.
Do I need a referral from my physician?
No, you do not need a referral to see a chiropractor, as we are considered primary care providers for musculoskeletal issues. However, we do receive referrals from other providers.
Will you suggest exercises or other things I can do?
Yes, we recommend exercises, stretches, posture corrections, or lifestyle changes to support your recovery and prevent future issues. These are customized to your condition.
Can someone who has had back surgery see a chiropractor?
Yes, with caution. Our chiropractors are experienced in treating post-surgical patients and use gentle techniques that avoid the surgical area. Many patients report great results even after procedures like spinal fusion or discectomy.
How long does the first visit take?
Your first visit typically lasts 30-60 minutes. It includes a health history, physical exam, possible X-rays, and treatment as needed.
