How do I schedule an appointment?
You can text or call our office at 402-915-4029, you can fill out our contact us form on our website, or you can scheduled yourself on our booking website. We will gather your demographic information from you and then find a time that you can come in for your first visit. Once that appointment is booked, your paperwork will be sent to you to fill out electronically before your appointment time. You will get a text 48 hours prior to your appointment to check in and sign any additional paperwork.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes! We are currently taking new patients; both insurance and self-pay. Typically, we can get new patients in within the week; sometimes even same day. Please text or call our office if you need an appointment sooner than what is available to book online. We know it's tough being in pain; we want to get your care started as soon as possible to help you get back to being you and doing what you love!

Do you do massages?
Although we do not offer massages, we tend to do a lot of muscle work during an adjustment visit. By releasing or stretching the muscles it helps the body “hold” the adjustment longer and often helps patients respond to care faster.

Family and Kids Questions

How soon can my baby get adjusted?
Babies can be adjusted fresh out of the womb. We tell new parents that as soon as they can get into the office their sweet babe can get adjusted. Adjustments on babies are very gentle; there is no clicking, popping, cracking, quick movements, or rough handling. A lot of babies sleep through their visits at our office!

Why do toddlers get adjusted?
Have you ever watched a toddler just learning how to walk? Or a baby learning how to sit up and crawl? Or watched a kiddo bump their head while running at full speed? While most of the time these minor events do not create an issue, if the body is already stressed or tired sometimes these incidents can create a subluxation. Instead of waiting for their body to grow with that subluxation for the next several decades before it produces symptoms, getting a baby or toddler checked regularly can help their bodies grow without interference from a chiropractic perspective. Our goal is to correct subluxation while creating a happy experience that is comfortable for the child and their caregivers! We are your Omaha pediatric chiropractor, and we want to take care of your family chiropractic needs!

Why do kids and teens need chiropractic care?
Sports injuries, growing pains, constipation, headaches, frequent illness or ear infections, general aches and pains, and trouble sleeping are just a few of the reasons we see kids, adolescents, and teens. Although we know chiropractic isn’t magic, it can have an effect on a lot of different symptoms that someone might be dealing with. We want your child to have such a good experience at our office that they keep asking “when can I go back to the chiropractor?” We have extra training in pediatric chiropractic, and we love adjusting kids!

Pregnancy/Webster Questions

Do you do Webster for pregnancy?
Yes! Both Dr. Hannah and Dr. Amber are certified in Webster Technique through the ICPA (ICPA4kids.org). We do a full sacral analysis and correction and will do the extended Webster protocol to be sure your bones, muscles, and ligaments are balanced for pregnancy care! It is important to see a Webster Certified (prenatal, perinatal, and pregnancy) chiropractor throughout your pregnancy journey.

When can I start getting adjusted during pregnancy?
It is typically safe to get adjusted throughout the entirety of pregnancy. How the adjustment is performed will depend on the mother’s comfort level, risk factors, and how her body is subluxated. It is imperative that you find a Webster Certified chiropractor that is trained in pregnancy care. More information can be found at https://icpa4kids.com/training/webster-certification/webster-technique/ with a list of pregnancy chiropractors with Webster training at https://icpa4kids.com/find-a-pediatric-chiropractor/.

How soon after I give birth can I get adjusted?
It is never too early to get adjusted after birth. What the adjustment entails depends on the type of birth you had. We can change the adjustment if laying on the stomach is uncomfortable, if a c-section was performed, or if tearing occurred. All of these are taken into consideration and an appropriate adjustment is applied.

Acupuncture Questions

Does acupuncture hurt?
While acupuncture isn’t painful, it isn’t painless either. There is a very small needle being inserted into your skin so typically patients will feel a tiny prick. Once the needle is in, you really shouldn’t feel it. Occasionally, there is a chi, or energy sensation, that can feel like pulsing or throbbing briefly, but it should go away within a couple of seconds.

How does an acupuncture or cupping appointment work?
We will spend the first part of your appointment going over what symptoms you are having and your goals of acupuncture care. Then, you will lay on the acupuncture table either on your belly, on your back, or on your side. We will ensure that the temperature is comfortable for you and you feel at ease. We will place the needles and/or cups and then typically the provider leaves the room for 10 to 20 minutes while you relax, checking on you occasionally if you desire. Once your time is up we will remove the needles and/or cups and send you on your way, hopefully feeling calm and balanced!

Chiropractic Questions

What type of adjustments do you do?
The chiropractors are trained in a variety of adjustment styles, and we strongly feel there is not one perfect type of adjustment for everyone. Different bodies respond well to different techniques. We will find what works best for you and your body. We offer hands on manual adjustments where you might hear clicking, popping, or cracking. We offer table-assisted drop adjustments. Or you might prefer an activator or instrument-assisted adjustment where we use the “clicker” for a very light adjustment.

How many times do I have to come? I went to a chiropractor once that wanted me to sign up for an expensive care plan.
We are a visit to visit clinic and do not offer care plans. How many times it takes to experience symptom relief can vary greatly depending on what is going on. You are coming to us for our experience and expertise so we will give recommendations for a treatment schedule, but your care is always up to you, and we are eager to guide you on figuring out the best course of care for you and your life.

I’ve heard that once you go to a chiropractor you have to keep going back forever! Is this true?
The real answer is that NO, this is not true. However! Hopefully you will feel so good and notice such big changes that you will WANT to keep coming back! We truly feel that even if a person had just one good adjustment in their life, they are much better off than if they had never gotten adjusted!

Can you help with headaches?
Typically, yes, chiropractic care often helps lessen the frequency or severity of headaches, especially if they have a musculoskeletal component (there is a lot of muscle tension in the neck or upper back, misalignment of the spine in those regions, or scar tissue or adhesions present). Headaches are often caused by a lot of different factors including dehydration, too much/little caffeine, lack of sleep, poor diet, medication, etc. A lot of times getting adjusted is enough to bring your body into a more balanced state so headaches are not as prevalent!
