Frequently Asked Questions in Upland CA

Chiropractic care has an amazing safety record. After an adjustment, you may feel sore and stiff but this is the most adverse reaction you will have. Studies have shown that you are more likely to be injured driving to and from your chiropractor's office than you are to be injured by your chiropractor. The risks of chiropractic care are so rare that they cannot truly be researched. So have no fear, when you are with your chiropractor, your spine is safe.

As many as your body needs! After your extensive new patient appointment with Dr. Castillo, a treatment plan will be prescribed for your and your specific conditions. This can be anywhere from an adjustment once every two weeks to adjustments three times a week for six months! Your body, your x-rays, and how well you are responding to the adjustments let Dr. Castillo know how intensely to prescribe your treatment plan to get you to your most optimal health.

Our office is very unique and different from other chiropractic offices. We specialize in Spinal Corrective Care. This means we work with different tractions, therapies, and exercises to put the natural curve back into our patient’s spines. With this care that is specifically tailored to each of our patient’s spines, along with our amazing staff, we can achieve great results with our patients and improve their health.

In our office, we use multiple different chiropractic techniques. For all of our adjustments, Dr. Castillo uses an activator and a drop table. Both of these techniques are used to activate your spine and your vertebrates to be ready for an adjustment. Once Dr. Castillo has activated your spine and used the drop table, he will start with the manual adjustment. From here, he will adjust your entire spine as well as any extremities that made need adjustments as well.

A Chiropractor is a spine specialist. In the same way, a cardiologist is a heart specialist and diagnoses and treats conditions of the heart, and a chiropractor diagnoses and treats conditions of the spine. Chiropractic care is not only effective in treating back pain and neck pain, which are the two most common reasons people seek out chiropractic care, but a wide variety of diagnoses. Chiropractic care not only helps to treat your immediate symptoms but to eliminate the cause of your conditions.

After an automobile accident, your body has just experienced immense trauma. You may not feel the adverse effects right away, but the coming days will bring much pain and discomfort. Chiropractic care helps to release the tension caused by the force of the accident. Your first appointment after you have been involved in an accident is quite extensive. Castillo will ask you many questions and perform extensive physical exams to get you the treatment to get you back to feeling normal after a traumatic accident.

Of course! Chiropractic care is absolutely safe for pregnant mothers and can help to relieve back and hip pain for those who are expecting. Pregnant women who are experiencing back pain can see an improvement in only one week of consistent chiropractic adjustments. Chiropractic care can also be great in improving the delivery process. A study in 2007 from the Journal of Chiropractic Care reported that moms who receive regular chiropractic care during their pregnancy have a 25% reduction in the length of labor. Keeping your baby and your spine healthy is our number one priority!

All spines are not the same; therefore all adjustments are not the same. All spines have different conditions that warrant specified adjustments for effective treatment. At Castle Health and Wellness Chiropractic, we take our own in-office x-rays to find out what is causing your condition and to help create a specific treatment plan that is tailored to your spine’s needs.

Yes! Chiropractic is not only appropriate but it’s great for children. Children are always active, running, jumping, playing, and falling. Chiropractic care keeps children active and moving freely and helps to prevent back pain in the future. Getting children introduced to chiropractic care in their earlier years will pave the wave for a healthy spinal structure later on in life.

Spinal adjustments help to improve nervous system function and help improve blood flow, two things that help to improve stress and anxiety. Adjustments also help to relieve tension in your body and help improve the overall function of your spine. Stress and anxiety tighten the muscles in your body, pulling your spine out of alignment. Chiropractic adjustments help to release muscle tension, re-align your spine, and help to relieve stress and anxiety throughout your body.
