An adjustment is a highly skilled and precise movement usually applied by hand to a joint of the body. Adjustments loosen the joint to restore proper movement and optimize function. The popping noise you may hear during an adjustment is caused by gas bubbles releasing within the joint capsule.

Chiropractic care can:

• Improve movement in your neck, shoulders, back, and torso

• Improve your posture

• Provide relief from headaches, neck and back pain

• Help prevent work-related muscle and joint injuries

• Improve your flexibility and range of motion

• Relieve pregnancy-related pain/discomfort

• Correct gait and foot problems
  

Chiropractors are highly educated and extensively trained to assess, diagnosis, treat and prevent conditions or disorders of the spine, joints, muscle and nervous systems. These disorders may include back pain, neck pain, headaches, referring pain in your arms and legs, etc.

Many patients seek chiropractic treatment for wellness care. Others, like seniors, find that treatment helps them to maintain mobility and good range of motion. Pain should never become a way of life, especially when there is qualified help available.

At your first visit, the Chiropractor will want a detailed history of both past and present health concerns. He will ask you to complete a personal health questionnaire to better understand all aspects of your health. This will all be completed prior to entering the treatment room.

Once in the room, the Chiropractor will ask you question about the symptoms that you are presently concerned with and perform a comprehensive exam in which he will assess your range of motion and mobility, as well as any pain you may have.

He will then use all the information gathered to let you know if the concerns would be best treated with Chiropractic care. If so, you will have your first treatment during that visit, if not, they will refer you to someone that they feel is better suited to help your individual needs.

Your first visit will last between 30-45 minutes.
