Life has a way of surprising us — & not always in the ways we hope for. A sudden sharp pain when lifting a child, waking up unable to turn your neck, a back spasm after a long workday, or an injury while playing sports — these moments rarely happen during regular office hours.
That’s why Ember Chiropractic offers after-hours and weekend appointment options for patients who need care fast.
Why We Provide Emergency Chiropractic Appointments
As a chiropractor who truly cares about patient outcomes, Dr. Benning understands that waiting days for an appointment isn’t always realistic. Acute pain can be intense, disruptive, and sometimes frightening — especially when mobility suddenly becomes limited.
Offering flexible scheduling ensures that members of our community have access to relief when they need it most. We’ve seen firsthand how a timely, precise adjustment can prevent a small issue from turning into something far more serious.
Common Reasons Patients Seek Urgent Chiropractic Care
A same-day or after-hours appointment can make a world of difference if you’re dealing with:
• Acute lower back spasms
• Severe neck stiffness or inability to turn your head
• TMJ flare-ups
• Migraine or tension headaches triggered by spinal misalignment
• Sports injuries
• Pain from lifting, bending, or twisting
• Sudden joint pain in shoulders, hips, or knees
Pain is your body’s way of signaling that something needs attention. With the Gonstead method, Dr. Benning can quickly evaluate the root cause using safe, specific diagnostics.
What to Expect During an After-Hours Visit
Even during an emergency visit, you can expect:
• A focused assessment to determine the cause of your pain
• Advanced tools (like NervoScope or X-rays, when appropriate)
• A safe Gonstead adjustment tailored to your unique condition
• Clear follow-up instructions to help maintain relief
• A plan for short-term or long-term care, depending on your needs
Our goal is to reduce pain, restore mobility, and help you return to normal life as quickly as possible.
