Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Treatment
 What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic can be defined as conservative care of the body. It is
the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of illness without the use
of prescription drugs or invasive surgery. Chiropractic uses the
most modern clinical techniques such as manipulation of the spine
and other joints in conjunction with physical therapy modalities
to treat injuries and disease. We welcome any questions you might
have regarding your care and we will strive to respond fully to your

 What is a typical visit?
Your doctor will meet with you one-on-one to discuss your personal
health needs and how you can best be treated through chiropractic care.
Then, a thorough examination will be performed, utilizing orthopedic,
neurological and chiropractic tests.
To help evaluate your condition, an X-ray or MRI may be taken. The
doctor will analyze your history, examination findings, X-ray or MRI
and determine what your condition is and if you can be helped with
chiropractic treatment.
If the doctor decides you will benefit from chiropractic
care, you will be prescribed an individualized treatment program that
will be tailored to your needs. Post treatment rehabilitation to strength
and stabilize your condition is an important part of your care, therefore,
an exercise program will be designed to help get you back to your active
lifestyle as quickly as possible.
What is an adjustment?
An adjustment, otherwise known as spinal manipulation, is the act of
moving a joint slightly beyond its’ active range of motion causing
a cavitation, with its’ classic “popping sound”,
in an attempt to increase the joints range of motion while decreasing
adhesion formation (scar tissue).
Are adjustments painful?
Most spinal adjustments are not painful or uncomfortable. Most patients
report that they feel good and free of pain almost immediately. Adjustments
have no harmful or dangerous side effects.
