What does an adjustment do?

An adjustment does 2 things: it physically loosens up the bones in the spine to allow greater movement and it gives proprioceptive input to the central nervous system which helps the body to better take care of itself.

Will I become addicted to adjustments?

No. The only thing that happens is you get to feel what a more ideal range of motion feels like. Then you are more aware of your body and you notice when things aren’t working right and you want to get them fixed.

Does an adjustment hurt?

Absolutely not. It should never hurt. The only time it may be uncomfortable is if the muscles in the area being adjusted are overly tight, and in that case we would try to loosen those muscles before attempting the adjustment.

Is chiropractic right for me?

Chiropractic can benefit anyone. The whole idea behind it is to get the body to take care of itself. The input provided to the central nervous system does just that. It also helps with immediate relief of sore muscles and joints. We are the only medical practitioners that can say people genuinely feel better when they leave the office.
