Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes. Dr. Sierra uses controlled, evidence-informed techniques and adjusts her approach to each patient's condition, age, and comfort level.
What is the difference between a chiropractic adjustment and spinal rehabilitation?
An adjustment is a hands-on correction to restore normal joint motion, while spinal rehabilitation uses targeted exercises to strengthen supporting muscles and help the correction hold. Dr. Sierra typically combines both for lasting results.
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes, when performed by a chiropractor trained in prenatal techniques. Dr. Sierra uses gentle techniques specifically adapted for pregnancy, including the Webster Technique.
Do I need to have pain to benefit from chiropractic wellness care?
No. Many patients pursue wellness care to maintain mobility, support posture, and stay proactive about their spinal health, even without current pain.
Is nutrition counseling a separate service from chiropractic care?
Nutrition consultations are offered as part of Dr. Sierra's whole-body wellness approach, complementing chiropractic adjustments rather than replacing them.
Who can attend a wellness workshop?
Workshops are open to the community, whether or not you are already a patient, and cover topics like spinal health, posture, and nutrition.
