Our Approach
Aligning with Your Wellness Goals
A Spine-Tingling Commitment to Care
Ireland Family Chiropractic focuses on helping individuals and families build long-term wellness through chiropractic care. By aligning the spine and improving nervous system function, the body can work at its best without relying on medication or surgery. Our approach is based on natural healing, proper movement, and lifestyle changes that support long-term health.
Initial Consultation & Examination
Your first visit to our chiropractic clinic begins with a conversation about your health history, concerns, and goals. Dr. Kevin Ireland will conduct an examination and, if necessary, take X-rays to assess spinal health. This process helps determine the best course of action to support your health.
Review of Findings & Treatment Plan
At your second appointment, Dr. Ireland will review your X-rays and exam findings with you. Together, we will discuss whether a short-term or long-term care plan is best for your situation. Chiropractic care is designed to improve function and help prevent future issues, so consistency is key to seeing the best results.
Long-Term Wellness
Chiropractic care is about supporting the body’s ability to function properly. Long-term care focuses on keeping the spine in alignment, reducing stress on the nervous system, and allowing the body to maintain good health. Many of our patients choose ongoing care to support an active and healthy life.
How to Be a Successful Patient
Stay Consistent
Regular adjustments create a rhythm that helps the body adapt and heal more efficiently. Sticking to a schedule is one of the most important things you can do to get the most out of your care.
Walk After Adjustments
Walking for at least five minutes after an adjustment helps your body adjust to the changes, improves circulation, and strengthens spinal alignment.
Change Habits That Affect Spinal Health
Many daily activities contribute to spinal misalignment. Pay attention to posture, movement patterns, and stress levels to support your progress.
Minimize Distractions During Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments require focus. Keep conversations brief during visits to allow Dr. Ireland to concentrate on your care. If you have questions, schedule time to discuss them outside of your adjustment.
FAQs
What is an adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment realigns the spine to relieve pressure on the nervous system, allowing the body to function better. This supports overall health by improving communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
How does an adjustment feel, and how long does it take?
Most people feel relief and improved movement after an adjustment. Some may experience mild soreness at first as the body adapts. Adjustments take only a few minutes, but their benefits can last much longer, depending on the stage of care.
What research supports chiropractic care?
Numerous studies, including research from the U.S. government, show that chiropractic care supports immune function, reduces symptoms of illness, and improves overall health by maintaining proper spinal alignment.
Should I be adjusted if I’m sick?
Yes. Adjustments help the body regain control and balance, allowing the nervous system to function better and fight off illness more effectively.
Can I be adjusted if I’ve had spinal surgery or have fragile bones?
Yes. Gentle techniques can be used for those who have had surgery, osteoporosis, or other conditions that require special consideration.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Many women find relief from back discomfort during pregnancy through chiropractic care. Adjustments can also support the baby’s development and make delivery smoother.
Can I adjust myself?
No. Even chiropractors receive adjustments from others. Self-manipulation can be harmful and is not the same as a precise chiropractic adjustment.
