Chiropractic care is highly beneficial for pregnant women, especially for addressing back pain, pelvic pain, and postural changes that occur during pregnancy. At Elevation Chiropractic in Charlotte, NC, many of our prenatal patients find that chiropractic adjustments improve their pregnancy experience and can even make delivery easier. Dr. Luis Medina and Dr. Mary Nutt use gentle, safe techniques tailored to each patient to alleviate discomfort and improve mobility throughout pregnancy.

Many parents are choosing to be proactive with their children's health, rather than reactive. Chiropractic is both proactive and preventive when it comes to wellness. Pediatric chiropractic care is safe, gentle, and helps a child thrive right from the start. At Elevation Chiropractic in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Luis Medina and Dr. Mary Nutt provide gentle pediatric chiropractic adjustments to support healthy spinal development, improve posture, and promote whole-body wellness for children of all ages.

The sound is simply the release of gas from the synovial joints — completely normal and nothing to worry about. In some cases a chiropractic adjustment can occur without any audible cracking at all. The goal of every adjustment at Elevation Chiropractic is to improve joint mobility, restore proper spinal alignment, and reduce pain or discomfort.

The cost of chiropractic care varies depending on your condition and its severity. At Elevation Chiropractic, we build a customized treatment plan for each patient and provide transparent pricing after your initial consultation. New patients can get started for just $59 — which includes your consultation, exam, and first adjustment.

Elevation Chiropractic does not bill insurance directly. However, if your plan covers out-of-network chiropractic care or physical therapy, we will provide you with a Superbill (medical receipt) so you can seek reimbursement directly through your insurance provider.

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and nerves. At Elevation Chiropractic in Charlotte, NC, we use spinal decompression to treat back pain, neck pain, herniated discs, and sciatica — helping patients find lasting relief without surgery or medication.

Shockwave therapy uses acoustic sound waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissues, reduce pain, and improve circulation. At Elevation Chiropractic, it's one of our most effective treatments for chronic pain, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and sports injuries — delivering results that traditional therapies often can't achieve alone.
