  • How does chiropractic work?

    Chiropractic works by restoring your body's inherent ability to be healthy. When your body is under the proper control of your nervous system, all the cells, tissues, and organs of your body are designed to resist disease and ill health.


    The chiropractic approach will give you better health by creating proper balance and function throughout the body; improved spinal function means improved nervous system function. The goal of a Chiropractor is to remove interference that may be impairing normal health by using effective, gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments that will allow your body to heal itself.


    A quality chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR can help you improve your health in a variety of ways. If you want more information, get in touch with Pine Tree Chiropractic PC.

  • What is an adjustment?

    A chiropractic adjustment is the art of using a specific force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is subluxated, locked up, or not moving properly. The purpose of this safe and natural procedure is to eliminate interference to the nervous system, improving spinal function and overall health. An adjustment is a specifically directed force, normally by hand, designed to unlock the subluxated vertebrae to return normal motion and alignment to the spine. There are a variety of different methods used in Chiropractic to analyze and adjust the spine.


    At our clinic, the best chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR carefully selects the most effective adjustment technique for each patient to ensure optimal comfort and results. Contact us to request more information or schedule a visit.

  • Are all patients adjusted the same way?

    No, each patient has unique spinal problems that need to be addressed in different ways. To handle these differences, patients need the best chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR for their individual needs, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. To discover our methods, contact or visit us.

  • What is a subluxation (or spinal fixation)?

    A Vertebral Subluxation or Spinal fixation is the improper motion or position of the moving bones of the spine that creates nerve irritation or interference.


    When a vertebra doesn't function properly, it can also cause mechanical stress, which accelerates wear and tear on surrounding spinal muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints. Pain, tenderness, inflammation, decreased mobility, and muscle spasms can soon follow.


    Because of the direct relationship between the spine and nerve roots, vertebral subluxations can impair nerve function and lead to a decrease in the communication within the body's nervous system. This process can eventually jeopardize the overall health and wellness of the individual.


    For people dealing with this condition who ask themselves, "Where can I find a skilled chiropractor near me in Klamath Falls, OR", Pine Tree Chiropractic PC can provide an answer.

  • Could I have a subluxation/spinal fixation?

    Because the nervous system innervates (supplies) every organ and tissue within your body, interference and distortion of this vital communication has far-reaching consequences. Some of the more common consequences include:


    • Headaches
    • Neck, mid or lower back pain
    • Arthritis
    • Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
    • Sciatica
    • Chronic muscle fatigue and tension
    • Numbness or tingling
    • Scoliosis

    If you are experiencing any of these symptoms and want relief from a professional chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR, get in touch with Pine Tree Chiropractic PC.

  • Can I adjust myself?

    No. Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific direction to a specific joint, it is virtually impossible to adjust oneself correctly and accurately.


    It is possible to turn or bend or twist in certain ways to create a popping sound that sometimes accompanies a chiropractic adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive, often making an already unstable spine even more unstable, and can sometimes be dangerous. Adjusting the spine is not a 'do-it-yourself' job.


    We highly recommend leaving the task of spinal adjustments to the hands of a professional chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR. Give us a visit and let us help you improve your health.

  • Is chiropractic care addictive?

    No. If it were, there would be more healthy people around, and chiropractors would not get patients who last saw a chiropractor a few years ago when their back went out. It is possible to get used to feeling more balanced, less stressed, and more energetic as a result of regular chiropractic care.


    Chiropractic care is not addictive, but good health is. In addition, relief from pain can feel like a high all on its own. And with an estimated 619 million people worldwide suffering from lower back pain, according to Statista, many people need that relief.


    If you want to enhance your health with the help of the skilled chiropractors Klamath Falls, OR patients have relied on for years, contact Pine Tree Chiropractic PC.

  • When will I feel better?

    Most people respond fairly quickly to their Chiropractic treatments; within a few weeks, the majority of their acute symptoms (usually pain, or limited mobility) have subsided. But, because soft tissues take longer to heal, your progress is not necessarily indicated by how you feel. After the acute phase of injury is when the real work begins, and it depends on you!



    Your body has adapted over time to the soft tissue (muscle, tendon, and ligament) damage caused by uncorrected improper spinal function. Corrective care will involve chiropractic adjustments, as well as stretches and exercises aimed at retraining your soft tissues, breaking them of faulty patterns. Without corrective and continued chiropractic care, these soft tissues are predisposed to resuming unhealthy patterns, potentially leading to significant injury relapse. Wouldn't you want to keep the good spinal alignment you worked so hard to achieve?


    Continuing with wellness, chiropractic care encourages more complete healing, which helps to ensure a lasting recovery. Our experienced chiropractor in Klamath Falls, OR provides personalized care plans that support your body’s natural ability to heal and maintain long-term balance.
