Yes. Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of treatment available for musculoskeletal conditions. Dr. Stiso conducts a thorough evaluation before beginning any treatment to make sure chiropractic is appropriate for your specific situation.

If it is not the right fit, he will tell you and point you in a better direction.

Most patients experience little to no discomfort during an adjustment. Some report a mild soreness afterward, similar to how you might feel after a good workout, which typically resolves within a day or two.

Dr. Stiso uses multiple techniques and will always choose the approach that is most comfortable for you. If you are uncomfortable with manual adjustments, gentler options like the Activator Method or drop table technique are available.

That depends entirely on your condition, how long you have had it, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients feel significant relief after just a few visits. Others with chronic or complex conditions benefit from a longer care plan.

Dr. Stiso will give you an honest assessment after your first visit and will never recommend more care than you actually need.

Most major insurance plans cover chiropractic care and Stiso Chiropractic, Acupuncture & Massage Therapy participates in most major plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare.

Our staff will verify your benefits before your first visit so you know exactly what to expect.

In most cases, no. New Jersey allows patients to see a chiropractor directly without a physician referral. If your insurance plan requires one, our staff can help you navigate that process.

It can in some cases and the explanation is mechanical rather than mystical. The cervical spine and the surrounding musculature play a role in the drainage of fluid from the Eustachian tubes. When the upper cervical vertebrae are misaligned, they can contribute to restriction in the surrounding soft tissue that impairs that drainage. Gentle chiropractic adjustments to the upper cervical spine can help restore proper alignment and mobility, supporting better drainage and reducing the environment in which ear infections develop and recur.

This is not a claim that chiropractic cures ear infections. It is a recognition that recurrent ear infections in children sometimes have a mechanical component that chiropractic care can address. Many parents bring their children in after repeated rounds of antibiotics or when tubes are being discussed as an option. In appropriate cases chiropractic care can be a worthwhile conservative option to explore before more invasive interventions.
