FAQ Chiropractic

What should I expect during a chiropractic adjustment?

During a chiropractic adjustment at Concept Chiropractic and Regenerative Medicine in Fairfax, VA, you can expect a safe, comfortable, and hands-on procedure designed to restore proper alignment and mobility to your spine and joints. Dr. Shirine Hegazi begins with a thorough evaluation of your posture, range of motion, and areas of discomfort. Using precise and gentle techniques, he applies controlled pressure to targeted areas, helping to relieve tension, reduce nerve irritation, and improve overall function. Most patients experience immediate relief, along with improved mobility, reduced pain, and a sense of relaxation. Adjustments are tailored to each patient — whether you are seeking care for back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, or sports injuries.

How often will I need chiropractic care?

The frequency of chiropractic visits depends on your specific condition, health goals, and how your body responds to treatment. For acute pain (such as after an injury), you may need more frequent adjustments in the beginning to stabilize the spine and reduce inflammation. For chronic conditions like sciatica, herniated discs, or arthritis-related stiffness, ongoing care may be recommended to manage pain and improve function. Many patients in Fairfax and Northern Virginia choose to continue with periodic wellness adjustments even after symptoms resolve to maintain spinal health and prevent future flare-ups. During your initial consultation, we will design a personalized treatment plan and explain exactly what schedule is best for you.

FAQ PRP & Regenerative Medicine

What is PRP therapy and how does it work?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own blood platelets to stimulate healing in injured or damaged tissues. During the procedure, a small amount of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge to separate the concentrated platelets. This platelet-rich plasma is then injected directly into the area of injury — such as knee joints, shoulders, spine, or tendons. PRP releases growth factors that help reduce inflammation, repair soft tissue, and encourage long-term healing. At Concept Chiropractic and Regenerative Medicine in Fairfax, VA, we commonly use PRP for joint pain, arthritis, sports injuries, tendonitis, and back pain.

Is PRP safe?

Yes, PRP is considered very safe because it is an autologous treatment — meaning it uses your own blood, reducing the risk of allergic reaction or rejection. Side effects are typically minimal and may include temporary soreness or swelling at the injection site. Compared to traditional treatments like cortisone injections, PRP focuses on healing the root cause of the problem rather than just masking symptoms.

How soon will I see results from PRP or regenerative therapy?

Results vary depending on the severity of your condition, your overall health, and how your body responds to the treatment. Some patients notice improvement in pain and mobility within a few weeks, while others see gradual progress over 2–3 months as tissue continues to heal. Unlike medications, which offer short-term relief, regenerative medicine therapies like PRP are designed to provide long-lasting improvements by stimulating natural repair.

What conditions respond best to regenerative medicine?

PRP and regenerative treatments are most effective for conditions such as osteoarthritis, tendon injuries, ligament sprains, muscle tears, chronic back pain, and sports-related injuries. Many patients in Fairfax, Vienna, McLean, and surrounding areas come to us after traditional options have failed, and find regenerative therapy provides lasting results without the risks of surgery.

Whats Wrong With Me?

Properly identifying the source of spinal pain or various health issues almost always requires a complete consultation and examination. People should recognize that all individuals are different and not assume their pain stems from the same issue as say another family member or friend. They should also be careful not to assume that the same treatment will work for everyone with similar issues. All health conditions are unique and require individual attention and evaluation, especially with different people.

Will Chiropractic Help Me?

Millions of people all over the world have benefited from Chiropractic care and have found effective relief for all types of health related conditions, not just neck and back problems. Chiropractic has a direct relationship with the body’s nervous system and works closely with the spinal column to control all other major systems, organs, and bodily functions. By creating proper spinal structure and biomechanics, nerve irritation and joint trauma are prevented and normal health may be restored.

Does chiropractic treatment require a referral from an MD?

No, it is not necessary to get a referral by your family doctor before scheduling an appointment with a chiropractor from Concept Chiropractic and Regenerative Medicine. State and federal regulatory practices define Chiropractors as first contact physicians. Following a comprehensive consultation and detailed examination, the doctors at Concept Chiropractic will decide on a diagnosis through chiropractic care, or refer the patient to an appropriate health practitioner.

Do insurance plans cover chiropractic?

The majority of all insured American workers have coverage for chiropractic services in their health care plans. For example, the federal government’s Office of Personnel Management offers chiropractic coverage for federal employees in both the Mail Handlers and BCBS benefit plans. In addition, there is a chiropractic benefit in Federal Workers’ Compensation, and chiropractic care is available to members of the armed forces at more than 40 military bases, and is available at nearly 30 veterans’ medical facilities.

Are Chiropractic Treatments Safe and Do They Hurt?

Chiropractic treatments are extremely safe for individuals of all ages – from infants to the elderly. Not only is treatment safe for all ages, but safe for individuals with conditions varying in severity. Our treatments are safe because we only use natural and noninvasive methods of care. Research consistently proves that care from chiropractors is among the safest available and is literally years ahead of traditional medical care in terms of its safety.

How Long Until I See Results?

Every patient is different and responds to care in a different time frame. There are many factors that determine the recovery time from a health condition. The severity of the problem is an issue that will affect the healing process. Other factors such as age, activity level, previous health history, etc. also play a part in the body’s ability to respond to care. The ultimate key to progressing recovery is compliance with the treatment plan. Those patients whom are most compliant tend to get better results and recover more efficiently and long term.

Is chiropractic treatment appropriate for children?

Yes, children may benefit from conservative chiropractic care. Children are physically active and endure many types of falls and injuries from daily activities as well as from their participation in sports. These various injuries may initiate several symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always formulated on an individualized basis. It is a highly sophisticated treatment approach, and with children, very gentle.
