FAQs
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractic treatments can be used to treat conditions including, but not limited to: back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints, headaches, extremity pain, and pregnancy induced pain.
How are Chiropractic adjustments performed?
When performing a chiropractic adjustment, the hands are used to manipulate the joints of the body, primarily the spine, in order to reduce pain, and restore joint function. A chiropractor can adapt the procedure to meet specific needs of each patient.
Why is there a popping sound?
Adjusting a joint may result in the release of a gas bubble between the joints. The noise is caused by the change in pressure within the joint.
Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic has been widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. However, no health treatment is completely free from potential adverse effects. Please read our Informed Consent Form for more information.
Is chiropractic appropriate for children?
Yes. Children can be treated with chiropractic adjustments. These adjustments are adapted for each patient, and even very young children may benefit from treatment.
