What is a Chiropractor?

Chiropractors are university trained and are experts in the function of the nervous system, , spinal hygiene, spinal biomechanics, injury treatment, injury diagnosis, injury prevention, and many other areas of  health, wellness and performance.

What do I need to bring?

  • Be prepared to provide your previous medical or surgical history. If you have them and if they are relevant bring scan/MRI reports, and a list of medication.
  • Your insurance card and a form of ID.

How many visits will I need?

The number of treatments will vary depending on the problem and individual. After a thorough assessment, the chiropractor will discuss their treatment plan for the spinal correction to take place.

What should I wear to my appointment?

Comfortable clothing that is not tight or restrictive with minimal jewelry so you will be comfortable during the exam and any treatments given that day if necessary.

How do I make an appointment?

You can get in touch by phone ( +207-619-4450 ) or use the form under the contact page. Alternatively use the quick and easy online booking page, which is the method we prefer.

Can pregnant women be adjusted?

Absolutely, in fact it is good for pregnant moms to get checked throughout their pregnancy as the baby grows and increased tension is put on the low back. Hormones are also changing preparing for the birth process which can affecting the ligaments in the pelvis allowing it to misalign. It is important to have a properly aligned pelvis during the birthing process to minimize complications.

We have done additional training to work with pregnant moms and are Webster Certified.

 

What age groups do you treat?

At Spineology Chiropractic we treat all age groups from infants to geriatrics.

Spinal problems can start from day one during the birthing process and can go undetected for years if there are no symptoms associated.
