Have questions about what we do or what to expect? You are not in the minority. Below you will find honest answers to the questions we hear most often from new and prospective patients. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, reach out. We’re happy to talk it through.
Most chiropractic offices focus on adjustments, and adjustments are a core part of what we do. What sets Lakeshore apart is that we go further. We combine chiropractic care with spinal decompression and advanced BTL therapies, including Emsculpt Neo, Emsella, and Emtone, to address not just alignment but the muscles, nerves, and connective tissue that support your spine and overall health. That means your treatment plan is designed to resolve what’s driving your problem, not just manage how it feels.
Lakeshore is a good fit for people who are tired of temporary relief and want a more thorough approach to their health. We see patients dealing with chronic back and neck pain, herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, and nerve-related symptoms, as well as individuals interested in non-surgical body contouring, pelvic floor support, or performance enhancement. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing a condition that hasn’t responded to conventional treatment, or simply investing in your long-term wellness, we’re equipped to build a plan around your specific goals.
We are currently accepting new patients and no referral is required. You can contact us directly to schedule a consultation. That first visit is an opportunity for us to learn about your history, understand what you’re hoping to achieve, and determine whether our approach is the right fit for you.
Yes, and this is actually one of the most common situations we see. Many patients come to us after experiencing short-term improvement with adjustments that didn’t hold over time. That pattern often points to an underlying muscle weakness or neuromuscular imbalance that adjustments alone can’t fully address. Our integrated approach is specifically designed for cases like this, combining structural correction with muscle retraining and nerve support to help results last.
Our chiropractic care addresses a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including low back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, and pain or numbness that radiates into the arms or legs. We also work with patients managing disc injuries, postural issues, and conditions that have developed gradually over years of strain or sedentary habits. If you’re unsure whether your condition is something we can help with, the best first step is a consultation.
Spinal decompression is a non-surgical, motorized therapy that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and pinched nerves. It creates negative pressure within the disc, which promotes retraction of herniated material and supports the flow of nutrients that help discs heal. It’s particularly effective for patients with herniated or bulging discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica, and chronic low back or neck pain that hasn’t responded well to other treatments.
That depends on the nature and severity of your condition, how long it has been present, and how your body responds to care. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within the first few weeks of a structured plan. Conditions that have been building for years typically require more time to resolve fully. We’ll give you an honest assessment during your first visit and keep you informed as your care progresses. Our goal is never to keep you in treatment longer than necessary.
Chiropractic care has a strong safety record and is widely recognized as one of the most effective non-surgical options for musculoskeletal pain. We conduct a thorough intake evaluation before beginning treatment to understand your history and identify any contraindications. If there is a reason a particular technique isn’t appropriate for you, we’ll say so and discuss alternatives. Your safety and comfort are part of the care, not an afterthought.
BTL therapies are a family of non-invasive treatments that use electromagnetic energy, radiofrequency, and related technologies to strengthen muscles, retrain nerves, reduce fat, and improve skin quality. At Lakeshore, we use BTL devices including Emsculpt Neo, Emsella, and Emtone. Depending on the device and the application, these therapies can support spinal health, improve pelvic floor function, contour the body, or address cellulite, all without surgery, needles, or downtime.
Most body contouring treatments focus exclusively on fat reduction. Emsculpt Neo does both simultaneously. It combines high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to build and strengthen muscle with radiofrequency energy to reduce fat in the treatment area. Clinical studies have shown an average of 25% more muscle and 30% less fat after a full treatment series. That combination makes it useful not just for aesthetics, but for improving functional strength and supporting the musculoskeletal system.
Emsella is a non-invasive treatment that targets the pelvic floor muscles using HIFEM technology. It’s commonly used to address urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, and related symptoms that can develop after childbirth, with aging, or as a result of prolonged inactivity. A single Emsella session delivers thousands of pelvic floor contractions that would be impossible to replicate through manual exercise alone. Patients remain fully clothed throughout the treatment, and sessions typically take about 30 minutes.
Cellulite is caused by a combination of factors: excess fat, poor skin elasticity, reduced collagen, and decreased blood flow. Most treatments target only one of these factors, which is why results are often disappointing. Emtone simultaneously delivers radiofrequency and targeted pressure energy to address all of them at once. That multi-mechanism approach produces more consistent, longer-lasting results than single-modality treatments, with no needles, no anesthesia, and no recovery time.
BTL treatments are generally well-tolerated. Emsculpt Neo produces an intense muscle contraction sensation that patients often compare to an extremely rigorous workout, noticeable but not painful. Emsella produces a similar sensation in the pelvic region. Emtone feels warm, with slight pressure during treatment. None of these therapies involve incisions, injections, or recovery time. Most patients return to their normal activities immediately after a session.
Chiropractic care and spinal decompression address the structural side of musculoskeletal problems, including alignment, disc health, and nerve pressure. But structure alone isn’t always enough. If the muscles that support your spine are weak, deconditioned, or firing incorrectly, alignment corrections are harder to maintain. BTL therapies like Emsculpt Neo work at the neuromuscular level, building the deep stabilizing muscles that hold your spine in place between adjustments. Combining these approaches produces better, more lasting outcomes than either one can achieve on its own.
You are never required to add services that aren’t relevant to your goals. Some patients come to us specifically for chiropractic care or spinal decompression, and that’s exactly what they receive. Others benefit from a more integrated plan that includes BTL therapy. Your treatment plan is built around your needs, your goals, and your preferences, not a template. We’ll explain our recommendations clearly and give you the information you need to make the right decision for yourself.
Your first visit typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes. This includes your consultation, exam, any recommended imaging if needed, and your first advanced therapy session. We take the time to fully understand your goals, assess what’s going on, and get you started on the right path before you leave.
