Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by trained and licensed professionals, with serious complications being rare. Research supports its use as a non-invasive, drug-free approach for managing discomfort and enhancing overall wellness.

Chiropractors tailor treatments to your unique needs, health history, and goals, focusing on minimizing risks and maximizing benefits. Ongoing studies continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care, giving patients an evidence-based foundation for their choices.

If you have specific concerns or questions, your chiropractor is there to listen and provide clarity. Open communication is key to feeling confident and comfortable in your care journey.

There are many reasons to see a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, often called a DC. Chronic low back pain is a common reason, but so is restoring full range of motion to an affected area to optimize movement and prevent potential injuries.

We recommend consulting a chiropractor for back pain first. This approach can reduce the chances of needing surgery and is all-natural, so there are no drugs involved that could lead to addiction.

Chiropractors can also help with certain types of headaches. Since the central nervous system is facilitated by the spinal cord, which is encased by the spine, adjustments along the spine are crucial for maintaining nervous system health.

Chiropractic care isn’t limited to the spine. Subluxations (a technical term for restrictions of the vertebrae) can affect the body’s health in other areas, such as tingling in the feet or fingers. Chiropractors make adjustments on various parts of the body, including ankles, feet, wrists, hands, neck, shoulders, elbows, knees, and ribs. Chiropractic care can be a lifelong health regimen, from newborns (who are adjusted gently after their journey through the birth canal) to seniors (who receive care tailored to a lifetime of wear and tear).

Understanding each patient’s unique medical history, utilizing the most appropriate technique for treatment to improve the effectiveness of chiropractic care, and discussing any potential treatment plan can affect the length of your visit. A first visit may last as long as 30 minutes because of the initial paperwork and exam, but follow-up visits can be as few as five to 10 minutes. The length and severity of your condition may impact the extent of chiropractic treatment you receive, but it’s common for patients to pop into the clinic during lunch or on an errand run.

The frequency of visits is up to the professional judgment of your chiropractor and will vary from individual to individual depending on your presenting condition and overall goals. The doctor’s recommendation will be based on your specific needs. Are you an older person who simply wants to stay active and keep their body moving, or an athlete who needs explosive movements, or someone who’s trying to maintain good posture and mobility? Just as regular visits to the dentist are necessary for good dental hygiene, routine visits to a chiropractor are important for proper spinal function and health maintenance.

After your chiropractic adjustment, remember to:

• Stay hydrated and continue drinking plenty of water
• Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan
• Avoid strenuous activity
• Get adequate rest.

These steps will best support your healing process.
