Common Questions

Pain relief questions.

How fast will I feel relief?

Many patients experience noticeable relief after their first visit. However, the speed of recovery depends on the severity and duration of your condition. Dr. Ed will give you a realistic timeline during your initial exam.

What's the difference between acute and chronic pain?

Acute pain is sudden and recent - like a new injury or a flare-up. Chronic pain has been present for weeks, months, or even years. Both benefit from chiropractic care, but the approach and timeline differ. Dr. Ed will assess your situation and recommend the right care plan.

Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?

Most adjustments are painless and many patients find them relieving. You may feel some mild soreness afterward, similar to what you might feel after exercise. Dr. Ed uses techniques appropriate for your comfort level and condition.

Do you accept walk-ins for acute pain?

We do our best to accommodate urgent cases. If you're in acute pain, call us at (586) 532-5433 and we'll work to get you in as quickly as possible. Same-day appointments are often available.
