Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor at Complete Chiropractic Sports & Wellness?

No referral is needed. You can call our Durham office directly at 919‑908‑7170 or use our online booking page to schedule your first visit.

What conditions do you treat?

We treat back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, sports injuries, and a wide range of musculoskeletal issues affecting the spine and extremities. Our providers create individualized treatment plans rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

Do you treat children?

Yes. Our Chiropractic for Kids program offers gentle, age‑appropriate adjustments designed to support healthy growth, posture, and overall wellness for children of all ages.

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic adjustments, including neck adjustments, are considered very safe when performed by a licensed, trained provider. Serious complications are extremely rare. Our team will review your health history and goals before recommending any treatment.

What is Cranial Facial Release (CFR), and do you offer it?

CFR is an advanced technique that addresses neurological and structural issues by restoring the upper airway tract. Dr. Kevin McLaughlin is one of only six CFR specialists in North Carolina, and our office is proud to offer this specialized care.

What are the benefits of Cranial Facial Release (CFR)?

CFR is a non-invasive, drug-free technique that addresses the structural and neurological root causes of many chronic conditions, delivering results that medications or standard care often can’t. Benefits include improved breathing and sinus health, relief from chronic headaches and migraines, better mental clarity and sleep quality, facial pain and TMJ relief, and improvement in neurological symptoms like vertigo and tinnitus. Most patients complete treatment in just four sessions.

Do you offer treatment for pregnant patients?

Yes. We offer Webster’s Technique for Pregnancy, a gentle method that helps optimize pelvic balance and supports a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy.

What other services do you offer besides spinal adjustments?

In addition to chiropractic adjustments for adults and kids, we offer Dry Needling, Cold Laser Therapy, MSK Therapeutics, Spinal Decompression Therapy, Shockwave Therapy, Shockwave Sculpting for Cellulite Reduction, Functional & Holistic Therapy, Personal Injury Services, and Cryotherapy.

What are the benefits of Dry Needling?

Dry Needling therapy offers a wide range of benefits for patients dealing with pain, muscle tension, and injury recovery. By inserting thin needles into trigger points and muscular knots, our providers can help you experience: relief from chronic pain by directly targeting the source of discomfort; improved muscle function and flexibility through better blood flow and range of motion; faster injury recovery by stimulating the body’s natural healing response; reduced muscle tension from overuse, stress, or injury; enhanced athletic performance — many of our patients, including competitive and Olympic-level athletes, use Dry Needling to stay ahead of injuries; and personalized, targeted treatment tailored to your specific problem areas and goals.

Do you accept insurance?

We are in‑network with a wide range of insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Veterans Affairs (VA), Curative, and Allied. Contact our office to verify your specific coverage.

Do you treat patients with personal injury or accident‑related cases?

Yes. Our Personal Injury Services provide specialized care designed to relieve pain, restore mobility, and support recovery after an accident or injury.

Do you work with athletes?

Yes. We are trusted by Olympic athletes, as well as athletes from UNC and Duke University, and offer sports chiropractic care tailored to active individuals and competitive athletes.

What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit typically includes a discussion of your health history and goals, a physical evaluation, and the development of a personalized treatment plan. Our providers take the time to understand your specific needs before recommending care.

How long should I rest after Dry Needling?

Recovery time varies by individual, but most patients can resume normal activity the same day, with some mild soreness possible for a day or two afterward. Your provider will give you specific aftercare guidance based on your treatment.
