Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first treatment?

Expect to spend up to 75 minutes with Dr. Hanlon as her evaluation of your health and wellness is very thorough. Most of the OMT techniques Dr. Hanlon uses are extremely gentle and slow moving. The treatment will be very relaxing. Some people even fall asleep! Dr. Hanlon may discuss exercises, stretches, medications, etc. during the visit. Please wear loose, movable clothing for optimal benefit from the treatment session.

How often do I need to come for a treatment?

This varies greatly from patient to patient but can be affected by factors including the duration and origin of the pain and the body’s response to treatment. Visits typically occur every 2-4 weeks in the beginning and will space out to every 3, 6, 12 months or just as needed.

Will I be sore after a treatment?

Some people can experience soreness after a treatment. This soreness can last up to 2-3 days and is completely normal. This is just the period where your body is adjusting to its new, more relaxed state. Other people may not feel any soreness at all. Everyone’s body reacts a little differently.

Who are the cute animals on the back of your business cards?

They are Dr. Hanlon’s cat (Leroi) and dog (Max). Feel free to ask for more pictures, we have plenty!
