By understanding your movement habits, we can recommend simple changes to your posture, workspace, or daily routine. These changes may help reduce tension, improve mobility, and prevent future discomfort. Small adjustments can lead to meaningful improvements in how your body functions and feels each day.

Originally from Michigan, Dr. Traci Levy began her journey with The Joint Chiropractic in 2017, and is so excited to join the team in Hickory, N.C. She graduated with a bachelor of science degree in liberal studies from Excelsior College, and earned her doctorate of chiropractic from Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, S.C. in 2006. She has a diverse background, having been an owner, associate doctor, as well as clinical director at the Joint Fort Mill, where she was a finalist for chiropractor of the year in 2018.

“I absolutely love having an impact on so many people in our community, not only helping them feel better, but function better,” Dr. Levy says. “It is amazing to walk a patient through stabilizing an issue when they first come in all the way through to wellness and prevention.”

In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, paddling, practicing yoga, and traveling with her husband Ryan. She is often found at home preparing healthy meals for her family. They have a dog (Lucy) who is very spoiled and often is found adventuring around the Carolina’s with them.

She was moved to pursue chiropractic after a terrible childhood event. “My mom was involved in a severe car accident when I was a teenager,” Dr. Levy says. “I was able to see how chiropractic care enabled her to get off of pain medication and resume normal activities, even after having a spinal surgery.”

She says the thing she likes the best about working at The Joint is the people.

“I love our patients,” Dr. Levy says. “I warn each and every person when they first come in that they will get adopted as part of one big family. I love getting to care for whole families and really get to know them.”

We know your schedule is full, so our care is designed to be both effective and efficient. Your first visit may take up to 45 minutes to an hour, which gives you time to complete initial paperwork while the doctor evaluates your needs and begins care based on your condition, goals, and treatment plan. After that, follow-up visits are usually just five to 10 minutes. Because our doctors focus on the specific adjustments your body needs at each visit, care can be streamlined without losing its effectiveness. By staying consistent with the treatment plan recommended for your needs and long-term goals, it becomes easier to get the right care at the right time and keep moving through your day with less disruption.

Your first visit includes a consultation, exam, and adjustment with a licensed chiropractor. Your chiropractor will talk with you about your health history, lifestyle, and care goals, then recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Keep in mind that you should plan to be at the clinic for about 45 minutes. This allows time for new patient paperwork, your consultation, exam, and adjustment. Walk-ins are always welcome, but we recommend booking an appointment to ensure a smoother first visit experience, especially during busier clinic hours.

After your adjustment, your chiropractor will walk you through a recommended treatment plan tailored to your care goals. They may also share simple wellness tips to help you feel and move better between visits.

Every patient undergoes a thorough consultation and exam before performing any care. If the doctor deems imaging is necessary based on the patient’s history, symptoms, or mode of injury, they will provide a referral. For most patients that is not the case.

How often you should see a chiropractor depends on your body, your lifestyle, and your personal health goals. Some people come in with acute pain like a stiff neck, a sore back, or nagging headaches. Others are managing old injuries, muscle tension from long workdays, or simply want to feel and function better every day.

Your chiropractor will create a care plan tailored to your needs, which often follows three key stages of chiropractic care:

  1. Relief care focuses on reducing pain and improving mobility as quickly as possible.
  2. Recovery care aims to support healing, strengthens the body, and helps restore normal movement patterns.
  3. Wellness care helps maintain the progress you’ve made and may prevent future issues from developing.

Once your pain improves, many people choose to continue with routine chiropractic care as part of their long-term wellness routine. Regular adjustments may help you move more freely, sleep more soundly, and manage the daily wear and tear that life throws your way.
