:::::Frequently Asked Questions:::::

What does a Chiropractor do?

A Chiropractor practices the medical art of healing by adjusting, or manipulating, the spinal column. A healthy, well aligned spinal column moving with full range of motion allows the nervous system to perform properly, which is vital because it controls every function of your body. To be licensed, chiropractors must have completed three years of university followed by four years at a chiropractic college.
 

Does it work?

The efficacy of chiropractic has been traced back to the Ancient Greeks. Today, almost 20 million people visit chiropractors in the United States each year. In 1999, The British Medical Journal reported in a research study for low back pain that, “chiropractic is one of the safest forms of treatment available.”
 

What is an adjustment?

A Chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific force in a precise direction, applied to the spine or a specific joint that helps return the spine or the joint to its normal function. Adjustments help return the bones to a more normal position or motion, restoring body's natural healing.
 

What does it do?

Adjustments help return the bones and spine to a more normal position or motion, restoring body's natural healing, and avoiding bone and soft tissue degeneration. When nervous system function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing process.
 

What do adjustments feel like? Does it hurt?

Chiropractors excel at making adjustments comfortable and effective. Many patients report an improved sense of well-being or a feeling of calmness. Others feel improved mobility. Patients with inflammation or muscle spasms may experience some delay in noticing results.
 

Why Should I Go?

Researchers tell us that over 80% of the general population will suffer from one of the great variety of spinal disorders. These disorders include pain in the neck and back, tension headaches, migraine headaches, dizziness, neuralgia, pain in the shoulders and arms, certain types of pain in the chest and abdomen, pain in the hips, knees and legs (sciatica), disc disorders, certain digestive disorders and problems with menstrual cycles, and arthritis.

Many of these disorders can be helped by chiropractic care.

How safe is chiropractic?

Chiropractic is recognized as one of the safest types of health care in the world. Chiropractors use a combination of exact, gentle manipulations and natural treatments appropriate for your condition. Chiropractic care is safe, comfortable, and benefits everyone - including infants, the elderly, and pregnant women. Your chiropractor may also recommend diet and exercise programs to get you back into tip-top shape.

Isn’t it expensive?

No. Many of the pain-killers and drugs purchased to treat pain and illness cost more than chiropractic care. Yet these drugs do nothing more than mask the underlying causes of the pain. Chiropractic care treats more than the symptoms of poor health, it treats the underlying cause. Chiropractic also helps to restore and maintain good health - without using any drugs.
