Chiropractic is the art, science and philosophy that focuses on the relationship between your
spine and your nervous system. Your body has an incredible ability to heal itself. It regulates
itself through nerve messages transmitted between your brain and the rest of your body. Your
spinal cord acts as a nerve “highway” for these nerve messages. Your brain is protected by your
skull but your spinal cord is vulnerable to injury because it is surrounded by the 24 moving
vertebrae which make up your spinal column. Chiropractors are trained to detect, correct and
prevent interferences in your “nerve highway” created by spinal misalignment or the incorrect
mobility of vertebrae.
No. Chiropractic care can benefit organs, tissues, systems and cells in your body by optimizing
your body’s ability to heal itself. Although it is usually associated with back pain, chiropractic
has been shown to be effective in relieving headache, neck pain, arthritis, sciatica, carpal tunnel
syndrome and many other conditions.
Yes. Chiropractic is a safe, gentle, conservative and natural approach to better health. In
repeated studies, chiropractic has been found to be beneficial and it provides an effective
alternative to drugs or surgery.
That depends on the condition you were in when you started your chiropractic care. For some,
there is immediate relief while others require more frequent visits over a longer period of time
to feel better. You may have been developing your condition for years or even decades so it is
not unreasonable to think that your treatment may take some time.
In some cases there is the feeling of a light pressure on your spinal joints and/or you may hear a
popping sound but there is rarely pain associated with an adjustment. If you came to your
appointment in pain, you may feel some pain relief or improved mobility after spinal
adjustments.
That depends on two things: your condition when you started and your overall health goals.
Relief from current pains may take only a few weeks of care after which it is up to you whether
you want to continue your care. For many, chiropractic is part of their balanced healthcare
just like trips to their dentist. They have regular spinal check-ups to maintain the spinal health
they achieved after their initial care.
