Answers to some of our most frequently asked questions

​

​

Does Dr. Russ "crack" everyone's spine?

Most people need very few forceful "cracking" adjustments, some people need none. I work with soft tissues mostly, because this is where tension is held and where issues begin.

​

Does Dr. Russ "crack" anyone's spine?

Yes. Sometimes, that is exactly what the patient needs (and wants), and I am happy to provide that! It can be incredibly powerful, fast-acting and long-lasting when it is applied at the right place at the right time.

​

How often does Dr. Russ want to see his patients?

This again is highly individualized. There is no formula. I consult with each patient to determine their needs, goals, and make recommendations for frequency or number of sessions. The decision always rests with the patient, and I will honor the decision that each patient makes. My philosophy is that I want to see people when they want to be seen, which is hopefully before they need to be seen.

​

Why are there different appointment lengths?

It gives us more flexibility to tailor the sessions to the patients needs and schedule, and provides options for access and affordability.

​

Which appointment type should I make?

If you're new or haven't been in for more than 3 years, please make a New Patient appointment. If you like or need extra time and can afford the higher fee, make a 45 minute appointment. If time or money are tight, make a 15 minute appointment. The 30 minute appointment is standard and usually will work, so if you're not sure, make one of those.

​

​What about Dr. Russ's YouTube page?

It's here and we're very proud of it. I demonstrate my methods, have exercises you can do along with me, encourage mindful movement, and connect with other providers who want to work the way that I work.

​

I see some very weird and scary things that chiropractors do on YouTube. Does Dr. Russ do that neck-yanking "ring-dinger" with a strap?

Goodness, no. No. I'm very gentle and precise. Check out the YouTube channel to see how gentle. If you're looking for great big cracks and dramatic adjustments, you can find that elsewhere.
