Growing up, Dr. Kris always wanted to work with babies and children, knowing that teaching kids to be healthy at a young age would greatly impact their adulthood. After graduating with her BS, she had the opportunity to work in a chiropractic office and it completely changed her direction, from pediatrician to chiropractor. Watching the chiropractor work with pregnant moms and new born babies, seeing the effect of a gentle adjustment calm a screaming baby, or watching the pregnant mom get off the table with less pain was a game changer.
Dr. Kris is a chiropractor who aims to help your family be happy and healthy through adjustments, focusing on proactive care that will keep each family member at their best. She is certified in Webster technique through the ICPA, and loves working with babies of all ages.
Dr. Kris’ Top 10 Questions Answered
1. What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a health science based on correcting interference in the nerve system. This interference is caused by physical, chemical, and emotional stress. Specific, gentle chiropractic adjustments remove that interference so your body will function at its optimum potential. (That means you will be the best YOU ever.)
2. What is an adjustment?
Adjustments can be performed in different manners. In our office, we do a blend of light touches along the spine and specific, non-invasive “thrust” delivered by hand which is called a “manual adjustment” or delivered by a spring loaded instrument called an Activator. The process is gentle and non-painful. The purpose of the adjustment is to remove nerve interference from your body.
3. Will my adjustment hurt?
No! Dr. Becker has safely adjusted people of all ages from newborn babies, small children, pregnant women, right up to practice members ninety-five years old with our gentle adjusting techniques. The style of each adjustment is tailored to each person-their history and their preferences.
4. Can you help my sick child?
We help lots of children, which makes their parents rave about their healthy child. Children respond incredibly well to chiropractic care. Schedule an appointment to have your child checked to see if I can help them.
5. How many times do I have to come?
That’s easy . . . . come as often as you want to heal, feel great, defy age, and live pain-free! Since each individual is unique on every level, it is difficult to know how many times you will need to be adjusted in order to reach each of your health goals. For practical purposes we can estimate your initial schedule, but that is subject to change according to your rate of progress and goals. One thing is for sure: YOUR goals and expectations will determine your care plan – frequency and duration.
6. Will I feel better after getting adjusted?
Your care is unique to YOU, and how your body heals and responds is also unique. Most
people are very happy with the results of chiropractic care. Many of them feel relief from pain almost immediately after an adjustment. In some cases, you may experience a temporary increase in your symptoms before they start to get better. No matter what course your recovery takes, you should also know that beyond the removal of your symptoms, chiropractic care offers an opportunity for pain relief, correction much greater overall health, if you choose to use it for that purpose as well.
7. Will chiropractic care be expensive?
That depends on how you define “expensive”. You are always in control of your finances. Is it going to require more of your money than an over-the-counter or prescription drug? Probably so. Is it as expensive as surgery or a life surrendered to drugs and their side effects? NO! Considering the benefits, the experience at this office, the all inclusiveness of our services, and the cost of providing you with the best health care, our fees are very reasonably priced.
8. What services do you offer?
We offer the most personalized supportive chiropractic care possible cutting edge chiropractic adjustments, and a true community of practice members who care about their health and the well-being of those around them, to encourage and support you on your own journey towards well-being.
9. How long will it take to get adjusted?
Even the busiest practice members commit to making chiropractic care a priority in their lives and find the benefits well worth their time. Your adjustment may take between ten and fifteen minutes. That is it! If, however, you want to schedule extra time one-on-one to discuss a particular issue, just ask and we will schedule appropriately.
10. What if I feel fine? Do I need to keep coming back?
That is always up to you. The truth is that those who stop care when they are “feeling fine” often return later with the same problem, only it is sometimes worse. On the other hand, those that commit to regular care find their problem rarely returns: as well, they enjoy a higher quality of life and health. If regular chiropractic care keeps you “feeling fine”, why would you choose to stop
doing what’s working for you? It is kind of like this: if your teeth feel fine, do you stop brushing them?
