Question 1

What does Olive Me Chiropractic focus on?

Accepted Answer

We focus on the nervous system — the control center of the body. When the nervous system is stuck in stress or protection mode, symptoms show up as anxiety, headaches, pain, fatigue, emotional overload, or poor recovery. Our care helps the body shift out of survival mode so\ healing can actually happen.

Question 2

How is your care different from traditional chiropractic?

Accepted Answer

We don’t guess, and we don’t chase symptoms.
We assess how the nervous system is functioning, not just where it hurts. Care is gentle, specific, and based on neurological findings — not forceful adjustments or generic protocols.

Question 3

Do you just treat pain?

Accepted Answer

No. Pain is often the last sign of a deeper issue.
We see patients for anxiety, burnout, headaches, post-concussion symptoms, emotional stress in kids, chronic tension, and unresolved injuries — even when imaging looks “normal.”

Question 4

Can chiropractic care help with anxiety and stress?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when it’s nervous-system focused.
Anxiety isn’t a mindset issue; it’s a physiological stress response. When the nervous system learns it’s safe again, anxiety often softens naturally

Question 5

Why does stress show up as physical pain or exhaustion?

Accepted Answer

Because the nervous system controls muscles, posture, hormones, digestion, and sleep. Unresolved stress leads to tension, guarding, headaches, fatigue, and burnout. The body adapts until it can’t anymore.

Question 6

Can chiropractic help with burnout and low energy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Burnout happens when the nervous system stays “on” too long. Many patients notice improved sleep, steadier energy, and better emotional resilience as their system begins to regulate.

Question 7

Can kids really hold stress or emotional trauma in their bodies?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Kids process stress physically, not verbally.
Behavior changes, sleep issues, stomach aches, anxiety, and emotional outbursts are often signs of nervous system overload.

Question 8

Is chiropractic care safe for kids?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pediatric chiropractic uses very gentle, age-appropriate input.
There is no forceful twisting or cracking. Safety is always the priority.

Question 9

What kinds of kids do you see?

Accepted Answer

We commonly help kids with:

Anxiety or emotional regulation challenges
Headaches or stomach aches
Sleep issues
Sports injuries or falls
Sensory overwhelm or focus struggles

Question 10

Why do headaches and migraines keep coming back?

Accepted Answer

Recurring headaches often come from nervous system overload and tension patterns, not a lack of medication. If stress and neurological imbalance aren’t addressed, symptoms return.

Question 11

What if the concussion happened months ago?

Accepted Answer

That’s common — and important.
Ongoing symptoms mean the nervous system never fully reset. That’s exactly what we assess and support.

Question 12

Can you help athletes and hockey players?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with athletes weekly, especially hockey players.
Our focus is recovery, nervous system regulation, and safe return-to-play, not pushing through symptoms.

Question 13

What is the CoreScore assessment?

Accepted Answer

It’s a non-invasive neurological scan that measures how the nervous system is responding to stress. No needles. No pain. Takes about 15 minutes. Most kids think it’s cool.

Question 14

Why is the scan important?

Accepted Answer

Because symptoms don’t tell the whole story. The scan shows whether the nervous system is calm, stressed, or compensating — so care is specific, not guesswork.

Question 15

Do you crack necks?

Accepted Answer

No. We use gentle, precise adjustments. No twisting, forcing, or aggressive popping. Patients stay in control the entire time.

Question 16

Is chiropractic safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Chiropractic is a licensed healthcare profession. Our approach is conservative, neurological, and tailored to each individual.

Question 17

What is spinal decompression?

Accepted Answer

Spinal decompression is a gentle, non-surgical therapy that reduces pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It supports hydration, healing, and improved brain-body communication.

Question 18

Who benefits from decompression?

Accepted Answer

Decompression is helpful for:

Disc issues
Chronic back or neck pain
Pain that hasn’t responded to other care

It’s always used as part of a bigger nervous-system plan, not a stand-alone fix.

Question 19

Is spinal decompression safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — when properly prescribed and monitored. At Olive Me Chiropractic, it’s customized and used strategically, not aggressively.

Question 20

How many visits will I need?

Accepted Answer

That depends on how your nervous system is functioning. Some people notice changes quickly; others improve gradually as years of stress unwind. We focus on lasting regulation, not short-term relief.

Question 21

What if I’ve already tried everything?

Accepted Answer

Most people haven’t assessed the nervous system. If you haven’t looked at how your brain and body are communicating, there’s still a missing piece.

Question 22

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

We’ll always be transparent. Some assessments may be complimentary, and care options are discussed clearly during your visit — no surprises.

Question 23

Accepted Answer
