Is chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic is among the safest of the healing arts. The risk factor
is estimated to be less than one million to one.
Does Chiropractic hurt?
Under normal circumstances, adjustments don't hurt. The patient may
experience a minor amount of discomfort during the adjustment and some
minor soreness for a day afterward.
Is it bad to "crack" your own neck or back?
The desire to pop the neck or back is caused by tension from a jammed
or fixated vertebra, which can cause another part of the spine to
compensate too much by making a "popping" sound. The jammed part of the
spine should be adjusted by a chiropractor so that the spinal column
will be balanced and stop being so noisy.
Am I adjusting myself by cracking my own neck or
back?
No you are not adjusting yourself, you are merely giving yourself
temporary relief, because the cause of the spinal tension has not been
corrected!
At what age should Chiropractic care begin?
Newborns have received spinal adjustments, especially after difficult
or traumatic births. There are case histories of infants close to death
who were adjusted in hospitals with seemingly miraculous recoveries.
Is Chiropractic just like massage?
No chiropractic care deals with the nervous system and bony structures,
Massage therapists deal with muscle tension.
Can Chiropractic prevent back surgery?
In the majority of cases, The answer is "YES".
What kind of medical conditions can Chiropractic
help with?
Chiropractic is used most frequently to relieve low back pain, but
there are many conditions that chiropractic care can help with, such as
migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, carpal tunnel syndrome,
fibromyalgia.
I am not sick or hurting should I still see a
Chiropractor?
YES. Symptoms are not a good way of judging your health. Some problems
only surface after years of body malfunctioning.
