Chiropractic Adjustments Are Essential
Spinal joints that are not articulating properly can irritate nearby nerves. Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints, reducing Nervous System dysfunction. Free up the Nervous System and health has its best opportunity to return.
Like lifting a heavy rock off your toe, our patients often report a pleasant sense of release directly following their adjustments.
Many Techniques
Sometimes a specific, highly-accurate thrust is used to correct a subluxation. However, not all subluxations or patients, for that matter are the same. Let’s say we’re dealing with an elderly patient…….more than likely, we’ll use a “low force” instrument to correct their subluxations. With certain patients, we may decide to use therapies on them for a few days before attempting to correct their subluxations. The point is, there are a multitude of therapies and spinal adjusting techniques available to us to help most every patient and most every circumstance.
Feels Great
Most patients report a sense of well-being and ease after being adjusted. After all, if our adjustments weren’t pleasant, our patients wouldn’t return or refer their family and friends to us.
Everyone Benefits
Children, seniors and even back surgery patients may be eligible to receive Chiropractic care. Naturally, adjustments are tailored to your size, age and particular health issue.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Are Chiropractic adjustments safe?
Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are “remarkably safe.” Chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record.
- Will adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are “locked up” receive adjustments. The occasional spinal joints that move too much, are passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can stabilize and heal.
- How many adjustments will I need?
The number of adjustments varies with each patient and their individual health goals.
- Can I adjust myself?
No. Adjustments are specific and take years to master. Even your Chiropractor must consult a colleague to benefit from Chiropractic care.
- What does an adjustment feel like?
Most patients report a sense of well-being or a feeling of calmness. If adjustments didn’t feel good, our patients wouldn’t return or refer their family and friends. Chiropractors are the experts at making adjustments feel good.
- Can patients with osteoporosis receive Chiropractic care?
Of course. When developing a care plan, your Chiropractor considers the unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways to adjust the spine. The method selected will be best suited to your age, size and spinal problem.
- Isn’t some back pain normal?
Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something isn’t right. Pain is the way your body signals that a limit has been reached or a problem is developing. If the underlying problem remains unattended, it can slowly worsen until it becomes more difficult and expensive to resolve.
- Can I receive Chiropractic care after back surgery?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, surgery may produce compensation reactions either above or below the surgically involved level that need to be corrected with gentle Chiropractic care.
