Your First Visit to Care Chiropractic

What to Expect (Besides a Better-Feeling Back)

Whether it’s your first time seeing a chiropractor or just your first time with us, we want your visit to be simple, helpful, and maybe even enjoyable (yep, we said it).

At Care Chiropractic, you’ll be seen by Dr. Sean or Dr. Casey — both highly skilled, spine-loving chiropractors who care deeply about your health and have never once recommended “just walk it off.”

First Visit and Location/hours at Care Chiropractic in Marion, IA front entrance. Care Chiropractic is located in Marion, IA. We serve the Marion, Cedar Rapids, Hiawatha and surrounding areas.

Here’s what you can expect on Day One:

You might feel taller, looser, or like your spine just got a pep talk.

Consultation

We start with a relaxed chat about your health, what’s bothering you, and your goals. No pressure, no sales pitch — just good conversation and a genuine desire to help.

Examination

We’ll check your posture, mobility, reflexes, and more to figure out what’s going on. It’s thorough, but not weird — and no pop quizzes (just the good kind of pops).

X-Rays When It Makes Sense.

We only take X-rays if necessary, and we can do them right here in the office. Already have some? Send them over — spine selfies are always welcome.

Treatment

If appropriate, you’ll get adjusted on your first visit using one of several techniques — Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson Drop, or Activator (for those who prefer gentle, clicky things over big cracks).

Therapy (If Indicated)

We may recommend extras like electrical stimulation, heat, ultrasound, or simple stretches. It’s like spa day… but for your spine.

Our Mission

We’re here to get you feeling better, moving better, and living life without your back putting up a fight. No pressure plans, no gimmicks — just honest care that works.

You can click the button above, give us a call, or stop by and say hello (we love visitors — especially ones with spines).

Whether you’re here for a big issue or just a tune-up, we’ll meet you where you’re at — and get you moving forward.

Our Values

Our Work Is Heavily Shaped by Our Core Values

Real Care, No Scare

We believe in honest, down-to-earth chiropractic care — no pressure, no fear tactics, and no “you’ll need 86 visits to fix this” talk. Just smart, personalized treatment that makes sense.

People Over Protocols

You’re not a number, a chart, or a spine on a stick. We treat real people with real lives (and sometimes, real stubborn back pain). Our care is always tailored — not templated.

Healing Shouldn’t Be Humorless

Laughter might not fix a herniated disc, but it definitely helps. We keep the mood light, the atmosphere relaxed, and the awkward silences to a minimum. Chiropractic care doesn’t have to feel like a trip to the DMV.

Results That Matter

We’re not here to keep you coming back forever — unless you just really like us (and we wouldn’t blame you). Our mission is to help you get better, faster, so you can get back to doing what you love — whether that’s chasing kids, hitting the gym, or just sneezing without pulling something.
