Frequently Asked Questions

We are in-network with a few insurance companies, but if you don't see us listed on you insurance list (sometimes that happens) Just call us and let us verify your chiropractic benefits for you!! NO STRESS!

After the initial consultation, treatment may be provided during the same

office appointment. In many cases, the patient typically has their follow-

up visit the next day. During this appointment, Dr. Shelton will go over

your x-rays and proceed with treatment. Every treatment varies and is

uniquely designed for the patient depending on his or her condition. You

can expect the doctor to perform chiropractic adjustments, stretching

techniques, and exercises that will adjust the alignment of your body.

Commonly, treatments also include dietary and nutritional counseling

and lifestyle modification counseling. You will be surprised how simple

adjustments in your diet can improve how you are feeling. In addition,

modifying how you exercise, sleep, and perform everyday activities can

dramatically improve the discomfort you are experiencing.

While chiropractic services are typically associated with joint pain and

spinal alignment, good chiropractic care can help with a lot of different

issues you may not have considered. Dr. Melissa Shelton cares for the

whole patient, not just the current problem, so patients can live fuller,

healthier lives. In many cases, where you feel pain is not the source of

the problem, for example, a sore calf muscle may be caused by a tight

hip flexor or a pinched nerve. At Global Chiropractic in Plano, TX,

Dr. Shelton encourages her patients to talk about all their health

concerns so she can develop a chiropractic treatment plan that offers you

the most relief. Some of the most common conditions and complaints
