Isn’t chiropractic just for neck and back pain?
Chiropractic offers more than relief from pain. It focuses on the body’s design to heal itself and the nervous system. The brain and the spinal cord (the nervous system) send messages to every single muscle, tissue, organ and cell in the body. If something interferes with those messages, the body will not do what it is designed to do and therefore do its own thing. It may produce pain, yet we see patients of all ages with digestive problems, dizziness, asthma, lowered energy levels. Click on our interactive spine for more details.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is what chiropractors do to help the body regain optimal health. It is the art of using a specific force and a precise direction applied to a joint that is not functioning properly. This natural approach removes nerve interference and restores the natural balance in the body.

Is chiropractic safe?
Yes. Chiropractic has an excellent safety record. It is a natural and conservative approach to restoring health. As proof, malpractice premiums of chiropractors are a small fraction of medial doctors.

Why do kids need chiropractic?
The birth process itself can be traumatic and cause physical stress to the body. A lot of problems we see with adults begin in childhood. Children experience physical, chemical and mental stresses. For example, physical stresses such as falls and playing sports, chemical stresses such as colas, food additives, medications in addition to emotional stresses of school and family situations.

What is that noise?
Depending on the type of adjustment, a patient may hear a popping noise. This is simply the release of gas when a specific segment is adjusted. It’s similar to the noise a cork makes when opening a champagne bottle.

When is a good time to start chiropractic?
As we mentioned, many people experience their first subluxation during their birth process. It is much easier to eliminate/reduce a subluxation before it has done decades worth of damage so we recommend getting checked as early in life as possible. Parents who understand the chiropractic lifestyle have their newborn child checked as soon as possible.
