Frequently Asked Questions:
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care is the service in which licensed health professionals, such as our chiropractor, use a hands-on manipulation approach for the spine and joints of the patient. The idea behind the care is to improve alignment of the body’s musculoskeletal structure. This in turn, enables the body to heal itself without the need of surgery or medication. The repeated stressors of day-to-day life such as running, working overhead, weightlifting, and even sitting at a desk for extended periods of time can lead to improper alignments. Chiropractic care was developed to solve these problems as a pain-relief alternative to treat the problems at the source.
Are chiropractor treatments safe and effective?
Chiropractic students study extensively for 6-8 years before becoming licensed to practice as a chiropractor. Spinal manipulation during our treatments is considered safe and effective for patients. It is meant specifically to help relieve pressure surrounding joints, improve inflammation (swelling), and the function of your nerves. Plus, we believe in the overall wellness approach. This may include a nutritional and exercise/rehabilitation plan to address the root cause naturally.
Do the adjustments hurt?
Thankfully, chiropractic adjustments are painless for most patients. New patients may involuntarily stiffen up in preparation for an adjustment, or they could even resist the adjustment. In these cases, the patient may experience a small amount of discomfort. After relaxing for a few moments, discomfort should subside. Our patients commonly report they feel a sense of relief, improved mobility in the joint or area, and feeling calmer after.
Do adjustments have any side effects?
There are potential, but mild, side effects. According to Mayo Clinic, “Some people experience minor side effects for a few days after chiropractic adjustment. These may include headaches, fatigue or pain in the parts of the body that were treated.” Our patients sometimes report experiencing similar side effects, though after a few days post-adjustment, the effects subside. Mobility is increased, soreness and stiffness have improved, and they’re overall feeling better than when they come in to visit us.
