No. Dr. Knox treats the full musculoskeletal system—cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine, as well as extremity joints including knees, shoulders, hips, wrists, and ankles. She also treats headaches, sciatica, disc problems, sports injuries, postural issues, and repetitive strain conditions. If you're unsure whether what you're dealing with is something she can address, call or text and she'll give you an honest answer.

Focused shockwave uses concentrated acoustic waves to stimulate healing in soft tissue that has become chronic and isn't responding to other treatment—common in conditions like plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and calcific shoulder pain. The sensation is often described as a deep pressure or mild discomfort at the treatment site, not sharp pain. Most patients tolerate it well and notice improvement within the first few sessions.

Yes! This is one of the core strengths of Proper Balance. Chiropractic care pairs naturally with regenerative injections for joints that need more than structural correction, red light therapy to reduce systemic inflammation and accelerate healing, and medical weight loss programs for patients whose body composition is contributing to spinal load and pain. Dr. Knox sees the whole picture. If other services belong in your plan, you'll hear about them—and understand why.

It depends entirely on what we find, how long the problem has been developing, and your goals. Dr. Knox will give you an honest, specific timeline during your report of findings—not a vague answer designed to keep you coming indefinitely. 

This is the most common thing we hear from new patients—and it's a fair concern. Most chiropractic experiences that don't stick follow the same pattern: a brief exam, an adjustment, and a discharge without a real plan. The problem isn't chiropractic—it's that the underlying structural issue was never fully diagnosed, the correction wasn't stabilized with rehabilitation, and the body was never taught to hold its new position. At Proper Balance, the diagnostic process, the report of findings, and the rehabilitative component exist specifically to address why short-term adjustments don't last.
