Injury Blog - Path to Recovery

When most people think of chiropractic care, they often associate it with back or neck pain—but the truth is, chiropractors help with a wide range of conditions that affect the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. At Rainey Chiropractic, we see patients dealing with everything from injuries to chronic tension and mobility challenges.

If you’ve ever visited a chiropractor—or even just explored chiropractic care—you’ve likely heard the term subluxation. But what exactly does it mean, and why is it such a core part of chiropractic philosophy?

When most people think about going to the chiropractor, it’s usually after an injury or when they’re already in pain. But chiropractic care isn’t just about responding to problems—it can also be a powerful part of a preventative health routine.

One of the most common questions we get at Rainey Chiropractic is: “How often should I come in for an adjustment?” The answer isn’t the same for everyone—it depends on your unique health goals, current condition, and how your body responds to treatment.

Most people seek chiropractic care when they’re in pain—whether it’s back discomfort, a stiff neck, or headaches that just won’t go away. But what happens once the pain is gone? Should chiropractic care end there?

Chiropractic care isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. In fact, there are several different techniques chiropractors use to adjust the spine and joints, depending on the patient’s condition, comfort level, and specific needs. At Rainey Chiropractic, we tailor every treatment plan to each individual, using the most appropriate techniques to promote healing and improve function.

When you're dealing with back pain, headaches, or other musculoskeletal issues, you might wonder: Should I see a chiropractor, a physical therapist, or my primary care doctor? Understanding how chiropractors differ from other healthcare providers can help you make informed decisions about your care.

If you’ve never had a chiropractic adjustment before, it’s natural to feel a little unsure about what to expect. At Rainey Chiropractic, we believe that understanding the process helps patients feel more relaxed, confident, and prepared for their visit.

When you visit a chiropractor—especially for the first time—you might wonder what to expect during your evaluation. At Rainey Chiropractic, our goal is to understand the root cause of your discomfort and develop a personalized care plan that supports long-term wellness. That all starts with a thorough spinal assessment.
