Their education alone speaks for itself: Approximately 75 percent of Chiropractors entering school have bachelor degrees, on top of or including 90 hours of prerequisites. The DC curriculum consists of 4,200 minimum hours, similar to a medical school curriculum in that the colleges teach a broad based curriculum including differential diagnosis but emphasizes neuro-musculoskeletal conditions and biomechanical interventions over pharmacology.

We focus on adjusting the spine and adding other supportive measures like assisted stretching, exercise, and rehabilitation to get you pain free and maintain proper spinal health.

We will get your pain down, or gone, and recommend, if you choose to maintain your spinal health with regular checkups, which are usually once a month.

Yes, babies a day old can have a Chiropractic adjustment. “It is easier to grow a straight tree than fix a crooked one”, many chiropractors say. We typically use a very light, gentle adjusting tool that uses the same amount of pressure on their spines as the weight of a dime produces. Adjusting babies’ spines to reduce nervous system stress has helped a lot of our pediatric patients overcome colic, sleeplessness, digestive issues, feeding problems, growing pains, and neuro-developmental challenges.

Many daily activities and stresses can cause subluxations in children and it is important to prevent injuries or more permanent misalignment through regular chiropractic care to assist in all developmental attributes. Chiropractic is meant to be preventative care, just like going to the dentist for routine check-ups.

If Dr. Zach Kadolph does not adjust you or you do not wish to be adjusted on the first visit to Select Chiropractic, he has an array of therapies to help ease your immediate pain other than manipulation. However, it is up to the discretion of the expert doctor to consider all special circumstances. The best quality of customized care will occur after Dr. Zach Kadolph has had time to review your exam results.

The sounds that you hear when you get adjusted is pressure releasing from the joints in your spine. When your joints jam up and can’t move properly the joint fluids and gases build up, and when we adjust them, the excess gas build up dissipates. It is NOT your bones rubbing against one another. At Select Chiropractic, we can adjust our patients with adjusting devices that do not require popping and cracking if that is the patients desire.

Select Chiropractic, Dr. Zach Kadolph recommends beginning with a Complimentary Consultation and Examination to be able to better understand your goals, health history, and establish your needs. After a thorough discussion, Dr. Kadolph will then explain any recommended treatment that can vary from spinal and joint manipulation to proposed nutritional or dietary changes, etc.  Once a treatment plan is agreed upon, Dr. Kadolph will then begin care, or assist in making sure the next appointment is scheduled for the proper treatment needed along with providing any documents or resources to begin immediate care.

Every patient is different. The length of time before you feel better depends on your history, body type, commitment, and the severity of your issue. Some patients find immediate relief, but others require multiple visits. Typically after the first few adjustments our patients will feel better for 1-3 days following, and after just a few more visits the patient should find a significant reduction in symptoms.
