What should I expect during my first chiropractic visit in Hollister?
Your initial 1-hour session includes a health history, orthopedic and neurological testing, and a posture screening. Following a discussion of our findings, and if the exam permits, you will receive a same-day adjustment and 2 specific exercises to begin your recovery at home.
Do you require X-rays for every new patient?
Only if the exam calls for it—trauma, red flags, suspected structural issues, or an unclear picture. We refer to a local Hollister imaging center rather than selling in-house films by default to ensure you get the most accurate diagnostics.
What is instrument or low-force adjusting?
A handheld instrument delivers a precise, gentle impulse to a joint with no twisting and no popping sound. It's what we use for nervous patients, osteoporosis, older adults, and some pediatric cases.
Is therapeutic massage available at your clinic?
Yes, we have a licensed massage therapist on staff providing 30 and 45-minute sessions. These are discounted when bundled with an adjustment, allowing us to address the specific muscle patterns driving your joint dysfunction here in our Hollister facility.
What kind of home exercises will I be given?
2 or 3 moves at a time, a few minutes a day, filmed on your own phone in our office so you remember how they go. Long handouts don't get done by our busy Tres Pinos neighbors, and we stopped pretending otherwise.
Do you treat joints like shoulders, hips, and knees?
Yes. We provide extremity adjusting and soft tissue work for rotator cuff irritation, hip impingement, runner's knee, plantar fasciitis, and wrist problems for those working repetitive jobs throughout the Aromas and Paicines area.
Do you offer prenatal chiropractic for moms in the Hollister area?
We utilize the Webster technique for prenatal adjusting, which is a safe way to manage pelvic and low back pain throughout every trimester. Our specialized tables accommodate your growing belly, and we are happy to coordinate care with your local OB-GYN or midwife in San Benito County.
