FAQs

Don’t be fooled. There’s nothing mystical about chiropractic care. It’s a purely natural option for healthcare that focuses on correcting the causes of your physical ailments instead of just treating symptoms. The premise is powerful and simple. When the spine and nervous system are healthy, the body is equipped to heal itself better. After all, your spine is the lifeline of your nervous system. It controls feeling, function, and movement. Our chiropractic care supports that!

The process works by restoring your body’s innate ability to be healthy. When your nervous system is working properly, the cells, tissues, and organs of the body are primed to resist disease and ill health. With the chiropractic approach, we locate and remove interferences to the nervous system. This can include subluxations and misaligned vertebrae. This improves spinal function, which improves nervous system function. The overall goal is to use specific chiropractic adjustments to remove interferences that hinder your normal health. We help your body heal itself. The key to optimal health is a healthy spine and a healthy lifestyle.

During a chiropractic adjustment, we use specific force in a precise direction. This is an art, and we apply the force to a joint that is subluxated, locked up, or just not moving right. This process is safe and natural, and the goal is to eliminate interference in the nervous system to improve spinal function and boost overall health. Gentle adjustments can revitalize your body’s immunity.

Significant spinal trauma can occur at birth. Many parents come to us to have their newborns immediately checked for vertebral subluxation. Obviously, we adjust our procedures for your child’s spine. Many common childhood health problems can be linked back to the condition of the spine. Some adult conditions can even be prevented with proper spine care in childhood. Many of our patients report that children who get chiropractic care are healthier than their peers.

Yes, chiropractic care has a long history of safety. It is a conservative and natural healthcare option that avoids invasive procedures or addictive drugs. Just look at the malpractice rates between chiropractors and other healthcare professionals. Chiropractors pay far less in premiums than medical doctors.

Not all chiropractic adjustments produce a sound. However, many adjustments do create that sound of a spinal release. This is usually a popping sound. It’s created by gas rushing in to fill the partial vacuum created when the joints are slightly separated. The sound is painless and completely harmless.

No, chiropractic care must be provided by a trained professional. Chiropractic adjustments use a specific force in a specific direction on a specific joint. Therefore, it’s virtually impossible to adjust yourself correctly and accurately. You may be able to bend or twist in certain ways to get a pop, but this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive. It can make an already unstable spine even more unstable. It can even be dangerous. Spinal adjustments are not for amateurs!

Yes, we can work with patients who have had back surgery. Unfortunately, up to half of people who have spinal surgery have their symptoms return months or years later. This is known as Failed Back Surgery Syndrome, and it leads many people to repeat surgeries. Chiropractic care can prevent this cycle. In fact, many patients can avoid surgery altogether with proper chiropractic care.

Of course! There’s never a bad time to support your nervous system’s functionality. Many pregnant mothers report that chiropractic adjustments improve their pregnancy and make delivery easier for themselves and their babies. We cater our adjustments to the mother’s size, weight, age, and overall condition.
