Can Chiropractic Help With My Neck Pain?
yes! Neck pain is often caused by spinal misalignments, poor posture, or tension that puts pressure on nerves. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and relieve that pressure—naturally and without medication. Many patients report reduced pain, better range of motion, and fewer headaches as a result.
Can My Kids Have Subluxations?
One of the most frequently asked questions we hear from our patients with children is “Can my child have a spinal misalignment or suffer from subluxations?” The answer to this question is yes without a doubt, children are very susceptible to subluxations and spinal misalignments, in fact kids are especially prone to back or neck injury due to their active lifestyles.
Can You Adjust Yourself?
Are self-adjustments safe? Can I give myself an adjustment? These are two questions that we are frequently asked by our patients at Wilbeck Chiropractic. The answer to both questions is no, there is no real way to perform a safe spinal self-adjustment and it’s impossible for an individual to manipulate the spine like a chiropractor would without causing further injury or harm to the spine.
Do Athletes Need Chiropractic?
Most professional athletes and sports organizations utilize some form of chiropractic care or chiropractic team to keep themselves or the athletes they employee performing at the highest level. Athletics and chiropractic care go hand in hand because of its ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and boost the immune system naturally by correcting spinal misalignments.
Does Chiropractic Help with Pain Between my Shoulders?
Yes, it often does! That pain is commonly caused by poor posture, spinal misalignments, or tension in the upper back and neck—all things chiropractic care is designed to address. Through targeted adjustments and soft tissue work, we help relieve pressure, restore mobility, and reduce the muscle tension causing that nagging discomfort.
Does Wilbeck Chiropractic Offer Free Consultations?
The answer is yes! Your initial consultation with the doctor is completely free—we’ll sit down, discuss your concerns, and see if chiropractic care is the right fit. If the doctor determines that further evaluation is needed, we offer affordable new patient specials that include a full exam and digital X-rays.
Does Wilbeck Chiropractic Offer Chiropractic Discounts?
As of July 2025, we’re running a New Patient Special—you’ll get a consultation, full exam, and any necessary X-rays for just $29 (subject to change).
How Do I Know if I Have a Subluxation?
What Does Spinal Subluxation Feel Like?
One question we get from patients on a frequent basis is how do I know if I have a spinal subluxation or what does a subluxation feel like?
Subluxation is not limited to the spine; subluxation can occur wherever joints are located throughout the body. At Wilbeck Chiro we specialize in treating the most common form of subluxation and that is a subluxation of the spine.
How Do I Know if my Infants Needs Chiropractic care?
Often a patient or parent will wonder why an infant could possibly need chiropractic treatment when they are so young. The answer is there are many contributing factors as to why an infant may be suffering from a spinal misalignment, with the most common being the birthing process. As one could imagine the birthing process is an extremely traumatic experience for both mother and child. The amount of force that is put on an infant’s head and neck during birth can have lasting negative effects on the health and wellness of a newborn baby.
How Does a Chiropractor Work?
A chiropractor is a healthcare professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions, particularly those affecting the spine and nervous system. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques, primarily spinal adjustments, to restore proper alignment, improve mobility, and relieve pain without the use of medication or surgery.
How Does a Motor Vehicle Accident Appointment Work?
A question we are frequently asked at Wilbeck Chiropractic is, “Do we offer treatments for car accident-related injuries or how does a motor vehicle accident appointment work?” The answer to the first part of this question is, yes. At Wilbeck Chiropractic we offer top rated Car Accident Care that is safe, natural, and non-invasive.
With regards to how our motor vehicle accident appointments work, these appointments are like our normal chiropractic evaluations in that we conduct a full exam with digital x-rays if necessary, discussing, and diagnosing pain in the areas affected. The difference between this type of care and our normal wellness or pain treatments is that our Doctors will want to spend extra time evaluating the neck area due to the possibility of trauma caused by whiplash.
How Does Insurance Work at Our Chiropractic Office?
One of most frequently asked questions we hear at Wilbeck Chiropractic is “Will my insurance work at your clinics?” The answer to that question is, most likely, but for your benefit we want to be sure.
We ask that every patient schedule a consultation with us to determine whether chiropractic care will be covered by their insurance provider. We don’t want patients paying out of pocket if they don’t have to.
How Many Chiropractic Treatments Will I Need?
One of the more frequently asked questions we get from patients is how many treatments will it take to fix my problem? The short answer to that question is, it totally depends on the type and severity of the injury a patient is dealing with. Naturally the more significant the injury the more time it’s going to take to fix, another thing we need to consider is the time a patient has been dealing with the injury.
How Many Adjustments Will it Take to Fix My Issue?
A common question we get is, “How many adjustments will it take to fix my issue?” The honest answer is—it depends. Every person’s body, health history, and condition is different. That’s why we don’t guess.
How to Find the Best Chiropractor Near You?
Start by looking for someone who is experienced, takes time to understand your needs, and offers personalized care—not a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s also important to check online reviews to see what real patients are saying. Our offices consistently rank among the highest-reviewed chiropractic clinics in Wichita, and we’re proud of the trust our community places in us.
Is Chiropractic Care Affordable?
One of the most common concerns we hear is, “Is chiropractic care affordable?” The good news is—yes, it absolutely can be. In fact, chiropractic care is typically more cost-effective than physical therapy and significantly less expensive than injections or surgery.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe During Pregnancy?
Yes—absolutely! In fact, it’s not only safe, it’s highly recommended by many healthcare professionals. Gentle, pregnancy-specific chiropractic adjustments can help relieve low back and pelvic pain, improve posture, reduce tension on the uterus, and even help the baby move into an optimal position for birth.
Is Chiropractic Care Safe for Kids & Infants?
Yes, absolutely! Chiropractic adjustments for kids and babies are very gentle, safe, and specifically tailored to their age and development. Parents often seek chiropractic care for common issues like colic, ear infections, latch difficulties, sleep problems, and posture concerns.
It’s a natural way to help the body function properly—without relying on medications or foreign substances, which can carry risks or side effects.
Is Everyone Adjusted the Same?
For example, we wouldn’t want to adjust a high school athlete the same way that we adjust an elderly or pregnant patient. Different body types or conditions factor into our diagnosis and treatment options. Not everyone’s spine needs the same adjustment, it depends in your history, daily routine, and what we find from x-rays during your initial exam.
What are the Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy?
At Wilbeck Chiro we have a team of board-certified chiropractors who specialize in pregnancy and pediatric related care. Chiropractic care is an excellent way for expectant mothers to reduce stress, prepare the body for labor, and effectively treat neck, back, and pelvic pain safely and naturally, without putting unwanted stress on the body or relying on potentially harmful medication.

This is a question that we get asked almost every day. Will your insurance company cover chiropractic care? This will depend on your insurance company, coverage, and plan.
