Care that supports your body’s ability to heal

At Halsey Chiropractic we believe the body has a remarkable ability to heal itself when it is given the right support. Dr. Kyle Harders has built his practice on that idea, providing hands-on care to patients across Tulsa with a personal, patient-first approach.

Maybe you are dealing with chronic back pain, a recent injury, or general stiffness that has been slowing you down. Dr. Harders takes the time to understand your situation first, then builds a care plan around your own health goals rather than a standard routine.

What chiropractic care involves

Chiropractic care is the diagnosis and treatment of problems in the muscles, joints and nerves, especially those involving the spine. Dr. Harders uses manual adjustments and spinal manipulation to correct misalignments, restore proper movement and reduce nerve interference throughout the body.

An adjustment is a quick, controlled movement applied to a joint that is not moving the way it should. Getting that joint moving again takes mechanical stress off the surrounding muscles, ligaments and nerves. That is why many patients notice the tightness easing before the pain fully settles. Over a course of treatment, many people find real improvement in their pain, their mobility and how well they sleep and move through the day.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health publishes a plain-language summary of what research shows about spinal manipulation, which is a useful read if you are new to chiropractic care.

Conditions we treat

Chiropractic care helps with much more than simple back pain. Dr. Harders regularly treats patients with these problems:

Low back pain
Neck pain and stiffness
Headaches
Sciatica
Joint stiffness
Sports injuries
Hip pain

Your first visit

The first appointment starts with a conversation. Dr. Harders asks what hurts, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and what your work and home life demand of your body. He then checks your posture, your range of motion and how each part of the spine is moving.

You hear what he found in plain language before anything is decided. If adjustments are a good fit, he explains the plan, roughly how many visits it should take and what should change along the way. If your problem needs imaging or a different kind of provider first, he will tell you that too.

How treatment progresses

Early visits are often closer together, because a joint that has been stuck for a long time tends to slide back into old habits. As it starts to hold its movement, visits spread out. Dr. Harders checks your progress at each appointment and changes the plan when your body is telling him something new, which is what patients describe in their reviews.

You will usually get simple things to do between visits, like a stretch, a change to how you sit at work, or advice on sleeping positions. Care goes further when the habit that caused the problem changes too.

After an adjustment

Some people feel mild soreness after their first few visits, a lot like the ache after a new workout. It usually fades within a day or two. Drinking water, moving gently and skipping hard exercise that evening all help. Call the office if soreness is sharp or lasts longer than expected.

FAQ

Chiropractic questions patients ask

What conditions does a chiropractor treat?

At Halsey Chiropractic, Dr. Harders regularly treats low back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, joint stiffness and sports injuries, along with injuries from car accidents. For many of these conditions chiropractic care is the primary treatment. When other medical conditions are involved, it works alongside the care you already receive.

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in Tulsa?

No. You can call the office directly and book an appointment. Dr. Harders will take your history, examine you and explain what he finds before recommending a plan.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Adjustments are precise and controlled, and Dr. Harders makes them as comfortable as possible for each patient. Most people feel pressure and then relief. The popping sound some joints make is gas moving in the joint fluid, not bones cracking. Tell him if anything feels painful and he will change the approach.

How many visits will I need?

It depends on the problem and how long you have had it. A recent strain often improves in a few visits, while long-standing pain or an injury from a wreck usually takes longer. Dr. Harders will give you his estimate after the exam and adjust it as you progress.

Can chiropractic care help with headaches?

Many headaches start in the muscles and joints of the neck. When that is the cause, adjustments to the upper spine and work on the surrounding muscles can reduce how often they happen and how bad they get. A sudden, severe headache is different and needs emergency care.
