Chiropractic care or acupuncture first?

Some people ask whether they should do chiropractic care or acupuncture first when receiving both treatments. My answer is always the same: it depends on what feels best for your body.

For some patients, acupuncture creates a deep sense of relaxation, and having a chiropractic adjustment afterward can interrupt that calm feeling. In those cases, I usually recommend chiropractic care first, followed by acupuncture.

For others, acupuncture helps relax the muscles and loosen tension before an adjustment, which can make chiropractic care feel easier and more effective. In that case, starting with acupuncture may be the better fit.

There is no single right answer — every body responds differently. Together, we will find the approach that works best for you, your comfort, and your unique health story.

What does Rapha mean?

Rapha is a Hebrew word meaning "healing" — and here's why that matters to you:

God created you with incredible healing potential inside you. Your nervous system controls every action in your body, and it's protected by your spinal column. When your spine is properly aligned, your nervous system can do what it was designed to do — help you heal, function, and thrive.

My job as your chiropractor? To remove the interference through precise adjustments, so your body can tap into that innate healing power.

Here's the best part: you don't have to wait until you're in pain. Regular adjustments help keep everything functioning at its best and prevents problems before they start, so you can stay active, energetic, and living the life you want.

The real work happens in your nervous system after the adjustment. I'm just here to help unlock what's already inside you.
