Trusted Answers to all of your

Chiropractic Questions.

If you are new to Chiropractic care or have questions about lower back pain, Sciatica, adjustments, or what to expect, this page is for you. At Global Chiropractic Plano Frisco, Dr. Melissa Shelton believes patients should understand their condition, their options, and what to expect from care.

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions.


What happens at my first visit?

Your first visit includes a consultation, exam, and review of your health history. If needed, digital X-rays may be taken. If it is safe and appropriate, your first Chiropractic adjustment may be performed, and a personalized care plan is created so you know what to expect moving forward.

How many Chiropractic visits will I need?

It depends on your condition, how long you have had the problem, and how your body responds to care. At Global Chiropractic Plano Frisco, Dr. Melissa Shelton creates a personalized plan based on your exam findings and goals.

Does a Chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally comfortable, not painful. Many patients leave feeling better than when they came in, with less stiffness and easier movement. Each adjustment is tailored to your comfort and needs.

Can Chiropractic help with lower back pain?

Yes. Many patients visit Global Chiropractic Plano Frisco for lower back and hip pain relief in Plano and Frisco. Common triggers include bending, lifting, twisting, poor posture, and gym-related strain.

Can Chiropractic help with sciatica?

Yes. Sciatica is one of the most common conditions treated at Global Chiropractic Plano Frisco. Chiropractic care focuses on improving movement and reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve, helping relieve pain, numbness, and tingling.

Can Chiropractic help with upper back pain?

Yes. Upper back pain is often caused by poor posture, long hours sitting, or looking down at phones. Chiropractic care helps improve spinal movement and reduce tension in the joints and muscles, relieving stiffness and discomfort.

Can a Chiropractor adjust joints like the shoulder or wrist?

Yes. Chiropractic care is not limited to the spine. Joints such as the shoulders, wrists, hips, knees, and feet can also be adjusted when appropriate. Improving joint motion can help reduce pain and restore function from activities like typing, lifting, or exercise.

Our Polices and Customer/ “Patient” Service Make Us Stand Out

At Global Chiropractic Plano Frisco, we know life gets busy, and schedules can change. You’ll receive a reminder text about 2 hours before your appointment. If you need to reschedule or can’t make it, just reply to that text or give us a quick call. We’re happy to help. We simply ask for a heads up whenever possible so we can offer that time to another patient who may be waiting to be seen. If appointments are missed without notice more than once, a no-show fee may be applied. Our goal is to keep scheduling flexible, respectful, and running smoothly for everyone..

Whether you are a cash patient or using insurance, you will be provided with a form at your first visit outlining what you are expected to pay. We want you to understand your care and costs upfront, with NO surprises.
