Chiropractors activate your own ability to be heal by restoring function in the nervous system. The nervous system controls communication to all the cells, tissues and organs of your body designed to resist disease and restore health.
Our Minnetonka chiropractors take a noninvasive, natural approach to wellness by finding and removing interferences to your body’s innate ability to heal through chiropractic adjustments and proper alignment.
A chiropractor (Doctor of Chiropractic, DC) is primary care doctor specializing in spinal health and well-being. Our Minnetonka chiropractors focus on the prevention, diagnosis and conservative care of spine-related issues and other joint and soft tissue issues. In addition to chiropractic adjustments, chiropractors also provide therapies, lifestyle recommendations, fitness coaching and nutritional advice.
Most people initially seek chiropractic care as an effective, noninvasive way to treat back pain, neck pain, and headaches and migraines. However, Doctors of Chiropractic also treat other injuries and disorders involving muscles, ligaments and joints throughout the body. The benefits of holistic chiropractic care with an experienced chiropractor extend well beyond correcting and preventing structural issues.

You may hear a popping sound during your chiropractic adjustment when the joints release little pockets of air, much like when people “crack” their knuckles.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DC’s) apply specific movement to joints using their hands or tools to restore proper alignment and function. They use a variety of highly controlled techniques with minimal force and gentle pressure that vary by the needs of each patient. We also incorporate muscle work and stretching into your adjustment for a holistic and effective approach that help your muscles relax and hold your adjustment.
Chiropractic adjustments rarely causes discomfort. Instead, most patients feel relief immediately after. Mild soreness can occur, like discomfort felt when starting a new exercise program. We can help you with tips after your first visit to help ease any discomfort and promote healing.

This varies by each patient. Many patients often seek chiropractic care to alleviate pain (referred to as active care). Others choose to continue with wellness care on a less frequent basis as part of their preventive care, much like regular dental cleanings. Read more about active vs. wellness care here.
Chiropractic care works much like orthodontics. Repeated visits are typically needed to retrain the bones, muscles, and ligaments into proper alignment and range of motion. At the beginning of active care, some patients see immediate results while others take longer. Maintaining consistency is key. Sticking to your individualized plan of care will help you achieve the results you want faster and keep you feeling better longer.
As with braces, the time it takes to achieve this will depend on the condition of the individual’s spine, overall health, daily activities, posture, age, and many other lifestyle factors. Often, underlying problems have been around for a long time, even before symptoms appear. Just as they take time to build up, it can take time to reverse.
We will gather information during your first visit to help develop a personalized treatment plan with your health and goals in mind. At your second visit, called a Report of Findings, your chiropractor will discuss the treatment plan and expectations with you.
We often have same day chiropractic appointments available. Please give us a call or schedule online.
