FAQs

An adjustment should not typically hurt. Patients may experience soreness after the first adjustment. This is normal; your muscles need some time to get used to the changes in your spine’s alignment!

As long as you are putting stress on your spine, you will need to do something about it! Chiropractic is a lifestyle choice. Most often, when patients see how great they feel after getting adjusted, they want to continue to stay healthy for life.

A subluxation is an area of the spine that has misaligned to the point that it is causing nervous system interference and dysfunction in the body. Chiropractors locate and correct these for you, restoring your body’s connections and helping you feel much, much better!

Stress! Repetitive small traumas, major traumas, sports injuries, car accidents, physical stress, emotional stress and even chemical stress can affect the health of your spine.

The more adjustments you miss in your care plan, the longer it will take to see the results you are looking for. Stay on track–it’s worth it!

The number and frequency of adjustments vary from person to person. Most sense some progress within a week or two. As supporting muscles and ligaments heal, visits may become less frequent. Cases of long-term spinal neglect may require visits over many months or years.

Your spine did not get like this overnight, and it definitely won’t go away overnight. The key to success is consistency and repetition in order to retrain the body and spine to stay in the correct position.

The pop you hear is just air being released from the joint. When you forcefully pop your spine, especially without understanding which areas are in need of realignment, it can cause a lot of damage. Chiropractors are trained to adjust only in the necessary places to relieve your pain and dysfunction.
