Van Meter Health Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways to restore proper joint motion, improve mobility, and decrease pain. When a joint stops moving the way it should, the surrounding muscles and nerves compensate creating stiffness, discomfort, and poor movement patterns. Our approach focuses on identifying these restrictions and correcting them with precise, evidence-informed adjustments.

It’s a targeted intervention based on assessment, biomechanics, and how your body actually moves. Whether you’re dealing with back or neck pain, headaches, chronic stiffness, or athletic limitations, restoring proper joint function is often the first step toward long-term improvement.

General Chiropractic FAQ

Most adjustments are comfortable and provide immediate relief. You may feel a quick pressure release or light stretch, but treatment should never be painful. If you’re sensitive or prefer low-force methods, we can adjust techniques to match your comfort level.
It depends on your condition, how long the issue has been present, and your activity level. Some patients feel significantly better after one or two sessions, while others benefit from a short treatment plan paired with rehab. During your first visit, we’ll outline exactly what you can expect.
Yes. Restrictions in the neck and upper back commonly contribute to tension headaches and migraines. Restoring proper motion and decreasing muscular tension often reduces both frequency and intensity.
Absolutely. Chiropractic care improves joint mechanics, mobility, and loading patterns — all essential for athletic performance. Many athletes rely on chiropractic to move more efficiently and reduce injury risk.
Comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely works best. Gym attire or anything with stretch is ideal, especially if we incorporate movement assessment or rehab.
You might, but it’s not required for a successful treatment. The sound is simply gas releasing from a joint — not bones “cracking.” We can use non-audible, low-force options if preferred.
