If you’re new to chiropractic, or new to our office, you probably have questions. We believe confident patients make the best health decisions, so below you’ll find clear, honest answers to the questions we hear most often from patients in Woodstock, Towne Lake, Holly Springs, Roswell, and East Cobb.
Chiropractic and Safety
What does chiropractic care focus on?
Chiropractic care focuses on how the spine, posture, movement, and nervous system work together. When these systems aren’t functioning optimally, the body may compensate often leading to pain, tension, or decreased performance.
Our approach emphasizes function first, not just symptom relief.
Is chiropractic care safe?
Yes. Chiropractic care is widely recognized as safe when provided by a licensed chiropractor. At our office, every recommendation is based on a detailed assessment and tailored to the individual — never forced or rushed.
Do I need to be in pain to see a chiropractor?
No. Pain is often what brings people in, but many of our patients seek care to improve posture, movement efficiency, athletic performance, or long-term spinal health before pain becomes severe.
First Visit Expectations
What happens on my first visit?
Your first visit includes:
- Time to listen to your concerns and goals
- A comprehensive spinal, postural, x-rays (if necessary)and movement assessment
- Establishing a clear baseline for care
We focus on understanding why your body is under stress before making any recommendations.
For a full breakdown, visit our First Visit page.
How long does the first visit take?
Most first visits last 30-45 minutes, allowing for a thorough evaluation without feeling rushed.
Will I be adjusted on the first visit?
Typically no, but everyones case is different and exceptions can be made. Safety and appropriateness always come first.
Do you take X-rays?
X-rays are not routine or automatic. They are recommended only when clinically appropriate and when they help us better understand alignment, structure, or safety before beginning care.
Corrective Care & Posture
What does “corrective care” mean?
Corrective care focuses on addressing underlying patterns such as posture, movement habits, and spinal alignment rather than only providing short-term relief.
The goal is long-term stability, function, and resilience.
Why is posture such a big focus?
Posture affects how your spine, muscles, and nervous system handle daily stress. Over time, poor posture can contribute to pain, tension, and reduced performance — even in active or “fit” individuals.
Is corrective care a quick fix?
No, and that’s intentional. Corrective care is about sustainable change, not temporary relief. Progress is measured over time and adjusted based on how your body responds.
Sports Chiropractic & Active Lifestyle
What does a sports chiropractor do?
A sports chiropractor focuses on spinal alignment, joint mobility, posture, and movement patterns that affect athletic performance.
At Turning Point Family Chiropractic, we evaluate how your spine and joints are moving and how that impacts strength, rotation, balance, and recovery, not just where it hurts.
Do I need to be injured to see a sports chiropractor?
No. Many athletes in Woodstock and surrounding areas come in before an injury becomes serious.
We commonly see:
- Golfers with limited rotation
- Runners with hip tightness
- Lifters with mobility restrictions
- Pickleball and tennis players with shoulder tension
Addressing movement restrictions early can help reduce unnecessary strain.
How is your sports chiropractic care different?
We don’t offer one-size-fits-all adjustments. Your care plan is based on:
- Your sport
- Your training schedule
- Your injury history
- Your posture and movement patterns
Whether you’re a competitive athlete or an active adult, care is tailored specifically to you.
Do you work with youth and competitive athletes?
Yes. We provide sports chiropractic care for youth, high school, and adult athletes throughout Woodstock and surrounding communities.
Care is always age-appropriate and adapted for growth, development, and performance goals.

Pregnancy and Pediatric Care
Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?
Yes. Chiropractic care during pregnancy is gentle, specific, and adapted for each stage of pregnancy. Techniques are modified for comfort and safety. We are Webster certified which is a pregnancy specific technique.
Do you provide chiropractic care for kids?
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic care uses very gentle, age-appropriate techniques. We always explain what we’re doing and ensure both parents and children feel comfortable.
What age can children start chiropractic care?
Care may begin at any age when appropriate. Recommendations are always based on the child’s needs and the parent’s comfort level.
Care Plans and Frequency
How many visits will I need?
The number of visits varies based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to care. Recommendations are explained clearly during your Report of Findings, so you can make informed decisions.
Do you offer ongoing or wellness care?
Yes. Most patients choose continued care to support posture, movement, recovery, and long-term spinal health.
