Have a chiropractic-related question? We have the answer. Check out these FAQs and give us a call today for more information!

  • What is the popping sound during an adjustment?

    It's actually air moving rapidly inside the joint, similar to the sound of a cork popping out of a champagne bottle. Contact us to schedule your chiropractic care in Waukegan, IL or the surrounding areas.

  • Can children get adjusted?

    Yes, children have stress and trauma, too. We encourage learning how to treat stress healthily at a young age. We treat babies as well. Babies respond very well to adjustments for constipation, colic, and chronic ear infections. Contact us today regarding our pediatric chiropractic care in Waukegan, IL and the surrounding areas.

  • Can pregnant women get adjusted?

    Yes, back pain is very common in pregnancy. It's still safe to get adjusted during that time. We have methods to perform adjustments until the very end of pregnancy. Call us today to learn more about the prenatal chiropractic care Waukegan, IL and the surrounding areas rely on.

  • Is it normal to feel sore after the adjustment?

    The majority of people don’t feel sore; they only feel improvements right away. Some people do feel sore for a day or two, similar to when you feel achy after lifting weights at the gym. We offer post-adjustment guidance after providing chiropractic care in Waukegan, IL and our surrounding locations.

  • If I start care, do I need an extended treatment plan?

    This is a common misconception. Many people continue to get adjusted routinely for maintenance because it helps them work, function, and sleep better. Other people come in only as needed, such as when something hurts. That decision is entirely up to the patient. When receiving chiropractic care in Waukegan, IL or at our other Pope Family Chiropractic locations, ask your practitioner about possible treatment plans.

  • Do you only adjust the spine or can you help with other areas?

    Our focus is the spine because we can affect nearly the entire body by correcting spinal dysfunction and allowing the nervous system to heal and control the body at its best potential. According to The Gallup Organization, 65 million Americans suffer from chronic lower back pain. Sometimes, however, the dysfunction is in the extremities. We do adjust extremities including TMJ, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. When receiving chiropractic care in Waukegan, IL or at our other offices, inform your practitioner where your areas of concern are so they can create a holistic treatment plan.
