1. What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a drug-less healthcare profession which understands that the body has a unique ability to self-heal and self-regulate under optimal conditions.
Examination – Your chiropractor will perform a detailed chiropractic examination of the spine to determine the presence of vertebral subluxations and nerve interference. This may include:
- Feeling the spine
- Computerized sEMG Scans
- Muscle Tests
- X Ray Studies
- Motion and Gait Analysis
- Orthopedic and Neurological tests
- Other procedures that may be valuable
3. Is Chiropractic Safe?
Chiropractic care has been proven to be one of the safest healthcare professions in the world. Thousands of chiropractic adjustments are safely given everyday, with very few adverse effects.
Initially, adjustments are more frequent for the first couple of weeks. Then, as you begin to improve and the healing process stabilizes, your chiropractor may graduate you to a higher level of care that will require fewer visits.
Most adjustments do not hurt. A small percentage of patients may get sore after the first visit (similar to starting a new workout routine). This is only temporary, however.
5. Is Chiropractic Just For Adults?
Chiropractic is safe and effective for all ages!
