FAQ
Q. Is chiropractic care effective?
Absolutely! Every year, more than 22 million people in the U.S. turn to chiropractors to improve their health and performance. Chiropractic is the fastest growing and the second largest primary care profession. There are numerous scientific studies demonstrating the efficacy of chiropractic care for a variety of conditions including neck and back pain, headaches and sciatica. Chiropractic care is not only effective but has been documented as superior in many areas of health care.
Q. What is a chiropractic adjustment and does it hurt?
The purpose of the adjustment is to normalize structural function to reduce nerve interference as described in the vertebral subluxation complex. An adjustment is applied through the use of a specific force in a precise direction applied to a joint that is not moving properly. Chiropractic adjustments are not painful, however there is an associated popping sound known as an audible release. This sound is gas being released from a joint much like plastic bubble wrap popping. There is nothing ‘cracking’ or ‘breaking’ as some patients would believe.
Q. How long will it take for me to get better?
Patient results vary depending upon many factors. How long have you had you problem? Did you keep all of your appointments? Are you getting the proper rest, exercise and nutrition? Are you in otherwise good health? The length of your care depends on the problem you have and its severity. For most patients pain relief occurs within the first few visits.
