Question 1

How is SpineCare different from other chiropractors in Cary NC?

Accepted Answer

SpineCare has been voted Cary's Best Chiropractor by Cary Magazine seven consecutive years from 2020 through 2026. Most chiropractic offices spend less than 5 minutes with each patient. At SpineCare every visit includes a full spinal adjustment plus hands-on myofascial release, soft tissue therapy, and targeted rehabilitation. Our patients get better faster and in fewer total visits than they have experienced at other practices.

Question 2

Has SpineCare won any awards?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpineCare Chiropractic has been voted Best Chiropractor in Cary by Cary Magazine's Maggy Awards seven consecutive years from 2020 through 2026. The Maggy Awards are voted on by Cary Magazine readers — meaning the Cary community itself has chosen SpineCare as the best chiropractic practice in the area every single year for seven years in a row.

Question 3

What insurance does SpineCare accept?

Accepted Answer

SpineCare accepts most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Medicare, Veterans Administration, Medcost, Ambetter, and Multiplan. We are happy to file your insurance on your behalf. For patients without insurance we offer affordable direct payment options. Call (919) 460-4546 to confirm your coverage.

Question 4

How quickly can I get an appointment at SpineCare?

Accepted Answer

SpineCare welcomes new patients and same day or next day appointments are often available. We also offer complimentary consultations for first-time patients at no charge. Call (919) 460-4546 to schedule. We are located at 100 Preston Executive Drive Suite 101, Cary NC 27513, serving Cary, Morrisville, Apex, West Cary, and Raleigh.

Question 5

Does SpineCare treat car accident injuries in Cary NC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpineCare treats whiplash, back pain, neck pain, and soft tissue injuries resulting from auto accidents. We accept personal injury cases. It is important to be evaluated as soon as possible after an accident — symptoms from whiplash often develop or worsen in the days following a crash. Call (919) 460-4546.

Question 6

Is there a female chiropractor at SpineCare in Cary NC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Heather Creehan is a Palmer College of Chiropractic Magna Cum Laude graduate with over 20 years of experience. She specializes in pregnancy chiropractic care and scoliosis rehabilitation. SpineCare is one of the few practices in Cary offering both male and female practitioners.

Question 7

Does SpineCare offer dry needling in Cary NC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpineCare offers dry needling in Cary NC for muscle pain, trigger points, tension headaches, neck pain, back pain, sciatica, shoulder pain, and sports injuries. Dry needling is combined with chiropractic adjustment and myofascial release in the same visit for faster, more lasting results.

Question 8

How is dry needling different from acupuncture?

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture is rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and focuses on energy pathways called meridians. Dry needling is a Western clinical technique based on anatomy and neuromuscular science — the needle is placed directly into a dysfunctional muscle or trigger point identified through physical examination. At SpineCare dry needling is always combined with chiropractic adjustment and hands-on soft tissue therapy.

Question 9

Does SpineCare treat scoliosis in Cary NC?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpineCare offers non-surgical scoliosis rehabilitation in Cary NC including corrective exercises, postural rehabilitation, and structural chiropractic care for children and adults. Our doctors have completed advanced certifications in scoliosis care and serve patients from across the Triangle area.

Question 10

Is chiropractic care safe during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dr. Heather Creehan at SpineCare is certified in pregnancy chiropractic care and regularly treats expectant mothers for back pain, pelvic misalignment, and discomfort throughout all stages of pregnancy using safe, gentle techniques appropriate for prenatal patients.

Question 11

Do you require patients to sign a contract or prepay for visits?

Accepted Answer

No. SpineCare does not require contracts, prepayment plans, or commitments to a set number of visits. You should come back because you are getting results — not because you signed a piece of paper. We earn your continued trust visit by visit.

Question 12

What if I have been to another chiropractor and did not get results?

Accepted Answer

This is one of the most common situations we see at SpineCare. Most patients who didn't get lasting results elsewhere received only a quick adjustment without hands-on soft tissue work. At SpineCare every visit combines spinal adjustment with myofascial release, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation — treating the joint, muscles, and movement patterns together. Call (919) 460-4546 for a complimentary consultation.

Question 13

Can a chiropractor help if physical therapy did not work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Physical therapy focuses primarily on strengthening and mobility but does not directly address spinal joint dysfunction or soft tissue restrictions the way chiropractic care does. SpineCare combines structural spinal correction with myofascial release, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitation in every visit. Many patients who did not get lasting results from physical therapy find significant relief with comprehensive chiropractic care at SpineCare.

Question 14

What are the signs of a good chiropractor?

Accepted Answer

A good chiropractor conducts a thorough examination before treating you, explains your diagnosis clearly, provides a defined treatment plan with measurable goals, spends meaningful time with you at every visit, does not require contracts or prepayment, has strong community reviews, and refers you elsewhere if chiropractic is not appropriate. SpineCare meets every one of these standards and has been voted Cary's Best Chiropractor seven years in a row.

Question 15

Is chiropractic care evidence-based?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SpineCare's approach is rooted in Chiropractic Biophysics, the most extensively peer-reviewed chiropractic technique in the profession. There is strong clinical evidence supporting spinal manipulation for back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica. Our doctors apply evidence-based techniques and do not make claims beyond what the evidence supports.

Question 16

Can chiropractic cause a stroke?

Accepted Answer

The association between cervical manipulation and stroke is extremely rare — fewer than 1 in a million adjustments. At SpineCare we conduct a thorough health history and examination before any treatment, specifically to identify contraindications to cervical manipulation. If we have any concern about vascular risk we modify our approach accordingly. Your safety is always our first priority.

Question 20

Does SpineCare treat tech neck or desk-related pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tech neck — forward head posture, chronic neck tightness, upper trapezius tension, and associated headaches from desk work and screen use — is one of the most common conditions we treat. SpineCare's combination of structural spinal correction, myofascial release, dry needling, and ergonomic counseling addresses the cause, not just the symptoms.
