Is Chiropractic Effective?

Why Should I See a Chiropractor?

What is Subluxation?

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?




Are Adjustments safe?
Yes, they are very safe. When vertebrae are out of place or subluxated, overall systemic effects from the central nervous system occur. Without proper alignment and flow of all nerve impulses to the organ and musculoskeletal systems in the body from the brain, we can’t function at our peak.

An adjustment is a gentle force applied from the chiropractor utilizing the hands or an instrument to move a vertebrae back into place. This happens with a quick movement and is painless the majority of the time. You may hear a noise that sounds like you’re cracking your knuckles which is referred to as joint cavitation. It is the release of gases such as oxygen and nitrogen from the joint.

What Can I Expect from My Visit to a Chiropractor?

What results can I expect from treatment?
Chiropractic is based on the idea of removing imbalances both structural and postural in an effort to allow our body to heal itself. For this to happen the network of nerves and signals from your brain, down your spinal cord, and out to the rest of the body must be allowed to flow freely without any interruption. Chiropractors have the ability and skill to remove these interruptions or misalignments and allow the body to perform as it was meant to.


Allowing a chiropractor to get you back on track will bring your body back to the proper state it should be in order to perform at its peak.
