Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care in La Verne
What does a chiropractor do?
Our chiropractor in La Verne is trained in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine, through non-invasive techniques. At our La Verne chiropractic center, our experienced chiropractor uses hands-on spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to restore alignment, improve mobility, and alleviate pain.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes — chiropractic adjustments in La Verne are considered extremely safe and effective when performed by a licensed, experienced chiropractor. The risk of serious complications is very low, especially compared to surgical procedures or long-term pain medication. Our highly trained La Verne chiropractor uses precise, controlled techniques to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Most chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. Patients often feel immediate relief and increased mobility. You may feel a light pressure on the joint and sometimes hear a "pop" (cavitation), which is simply the release of gas bubbles. Some temporary, mild soreness may occur afterward as your body adjusts to the new alignment, similar to how you might feel after starting a new exercise routine. Our methods are gentle and communicative.
What to expect during a chiropractic adjustment?
Our experienced La Verne chiropractor may perform gentle spinal adjustments using hands or tools to correct misalignments. The process is quick, often painless, and tailored to your needs.
How can chiropractic care help with pain?
Chiropractic care in La Verne addresses pain by targeting its root cause, such as spinal misalignments or muscle tension. Our experienced La Verne chiropractor uses adjustments, therapeutic exercises, and holistic approaches to relieve conditions like back pain, neck pain, and sciatica. By restoring proper alignment, chiropractic care promotes natural healing.
What are the benefits of regular chiropractic care?
Regular chiropractic care in La Verne offers numerous benefits, including improved posture, enhanced mobility, reduced pain, and better overall wellness. Our experienced La Verne chiropractor helps prevent injuries, boost nervous system functions, and support long-term health through chiropractic treatments.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor?
No, a referral is typically not required to see a chiropractor. Chiropractors are licensed as primary care providers, meaning you can schedule an appointment directly for an evaluation of your pain or condition. We are happy to collaborate with your other healthcare providers if needed, with your permission.
Is chiropractic care only for back pain?
No, chiropractic care addresses much more than back pain. While it's highly effective for back and neck issues, it also helps treat conditions like headaches, joint pain in the shoulders or hips, and problems related to posture or repetitive motion. The focus is on optimizing nervous system function by improving spinal and joint alignment, which can benefit overall health, mobility, and wellness beyond just pain relief.

Whether helping someone recover from an injury, supporting an athlete, or helping a patient maintain their mobility and overall wellness, his goal is to provide personalized care designed around each individual's needs.

What Can Chiropractic Care Treat?
Chiropractic care traces its origins to 1895, when D.D. Palmer performed the first recorded spinal adjustment in Davenport, Iowa, after observing that misaligned vertebrae—later called subluxations—could interfere with the nervous system and affect overall health. Today, chiropractic continues to build on this foundational understanding: when spinal joints are not moving or functioning properly, they can disrupt nerve communication, contribute to inflammation, create muscle imbalance, and lead to both acute and chronic pain.
Because the spine serves as the body’s main structural support and houses the central nervous system, even small misalignments or soft-tissue injuries can trigger widespread symptoms. Chiropractic care at Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne may help improve the following:
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Whiplash
- Shoulder Pain
- Tailbone Pain
- Knee Pain
- Elbow Pain
- Ankle Pain
- Headaches

- Ankylosing Spondylitis
- Frozen Shoulder
- Tennis/Golfer's Elbow
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Plantar Fasciitis
- Tendonitis
- Ligamentitis
- Bursitis
- Sprains & Strains
How Chiropractic Care Works
After an initial consultation to assess your condition, our chiropractor will be able to use their findings to make a diagnosis. They’ll then be able to recommend treatment options for you. Our chiropractor at Foothill Family Chiropractic believes that health can be improved and preserved by adjusting these structures, particularly the spinal column.
Deep, focused adjustments are a specialized method used by chiropractors. Their tools are their hands, and they use them to apply a low level, quick thrust to targeted and specific areas. They focus around the neck, back, and joints. These adjustments loosen up the joints, allowing them to become more flexible, which lessens the patient’s pain and discomfort. Most patients can find relief from pain without the need for prescription drugs or surgical procedures.
To make an informed choice about your care, give Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne a call today at (909) 596-1038. Before considering painkillers that may contain harmful substances or side effects to solve your pain problem, choose the natural way to resolve your health issues through chiropractic care.

What Can Auto Accident Injury Care Treat?
Injuries related to an auto accident can be tricky and often don’t appear right away since being in an accident causes a boost in adrenaline. Therefore, you should get medical attention sooner rather than later. Examination by a chiropractor after an accident is essential because when you experience a forceful impact, it can cause the spinal column to move out of alignment. Auto Accident Injury Care may help improve the following:
- Whiplash
- Neck Pain
- Back Pain
- Shoulder Pain

How Auto Accident Injury Care Works
The act of hitting a car or getting hit by another vehicle is violent and traumatizing. Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne wants you to know that even though there might be a small amount of damage done to your car, you can still experience injuries.
Our approach to addressing injuries sustained in car accidents differs from what you would expect if you went to an emergency room or a family doctor. Our top concern is addressing pain and doing all we can to identify the problem and its cause. Treatment plans can include a combination of chiropractic treatments, which may include spinal adjustments, cryotherapy, heat therapy, laser therapy, spinal decompression, and therapeutic stretches.
At Foothill Family Chiropractic, our goal is to get it right from day one, and we will identify the source of your pain and provide the appropriate treatment for your injuries. To learn more, call us at (909) 596-1038.

How Sports Injury Care Works
Chiropractors have taken on a more advanced role in sports science since understanding the neuromusculoskeletal system can help increase performance and prevent the breakdown of an athlete's body. Any physical trauma, on or off the field, can produce physical stress and shift the spine's vertebra. These shifts are called subluxations and significantly impact pain, fatigue, recovery, performance, and overall health.
Our sports injury chiropractor in La Verne utilizes a variety of non-invasive methods and techniques to help you get relief and get back to your athletic activities. Once you have healed from your sports injury, ongoing aftercare and maintenance can help maintain physical conditioning, improve mobility, and keep acute injuries under control.
Contact Foothill Family Chiropractic today at (909) 596-1038 to schedule a consultation.

How Diversified Technique Works
A chiropractor thoroughly examines the patient's medical history, family history, and signs or symptoms that help determine the problem. They also perform physical examinations and diagnostic tests, such as X-rays and MRIs, to understand the patient's source of pain or other symptoms and rule out other conditions.
The chiropractor uses a high-velocity, low-amplitude thrust adjustment to misaligned joints or vertebrae to help the patient find relief. A popping sound may occur when the pressure changes in the joint, releasing nitrogen gas. This often provides comfort and immediate improvement in the spinal area.
Learn more about how Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne can help by calling (909) 596-1038.
Applied Kinesiology
What to Expect From Your Consultation
- A conversation about your symptoms and health history

Conditions Commonly Discussed

How Applied Kinesiology Works
Applied Kinesiology was developed by chiropractor George Goodheart in the 1960s. It uses manual muscle testing as one part of a broader assessment. During a visit, the chiropractor may apply gentle pressure while you hold a position and observe how your muscles respond.
Your visit should also include a discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and goals. Depending on the findings, the chiropractor may discuss chiropractic care, movement advice, or other appropriate next steps. Muscle testing should not replace established medical tests for allergies or other conditions.

This movement causes a vacuum effect within the disc, drawing back displaced disc material to help relieve pressure on nerves and replenish the spine with essential nutrients, fluids, and oxygen to help heal the damaged disc. There is also no recovery time.

Gentle and non-invasive adjustments to the spine will help children become relaxed, and most children even fall asleep after their treatment.
Chiropractic treatments for a child begin with an extensive examination to determine the exact issue and the best treatment route. Even if your child isn't old enough to communicate or is shy, our chiropractor has the skills to work with them to find out what is bothering them before proceeding with treatment.

Repetitive stress is put on your body at work when you complete the same tasks day-to-day. Straining, twisting, and turning when lifting heavy objects on the job can lead to back pain, neck pain, and injury if not performed correctly. Another common cause of pain is from your posture during the workday.
If you are suffering from work-related pain, chiropractic care can offer relief. The earlier you seek treatment for workplace injury, the faster you can recover and get back to work. Get help today by calling Foothill Family Chiropractic in La Verne at (909) 596-1038.
Weight Loss Chiropractic Care
A Practical Approach to Weight Management
- Choose an eating pattern you can maintain
- Find physical activity that fits your abilities
- Make time for sleep and stress management
- Address musculoskeletal discomfort that limits movement
- Work with the right health professionals for your goals
When Pain Makes Activity Harder
Back, hip, or knee discomfort can make it harder to find enjoyable ways to move. We can discuss these concerns, assess whether chiropractic care is appropriate, and help you plan around your current abilities. Treating pain does not mean that chiropractic care causes weight loss.
How Chiropractic Care Can Fit Into Your Plan
There is no single treatment that replaces the habits involved in weight management. Lasting progress usually calls for an eating pattern you can maintain, regular activity that fits your health and abilities, enough sleep, and ways to manage stress. Your primary care clinician or a registered dietitian can help with individualized weight management guidance.
Chiropractic care may have a supporting role when musculoskeletal discomfort affects day-to-day movement. We can evaluate your symptoms, discuss suitable care options, and coordinate with other health professionals when needed. Chiropractic adjustments do not directly cause weight loss.
If pain is getting in the way, an assessment can help identify options for moving more comfortably. Call (909) 596-1038 or request an appointment.
