What Is Chiropractic and Is It Based on Science?

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on optimizing the body's natural healing abilities. Supported by scientific research, chiropractors are trained to address musculoskeletal issues and promote overall wellness. With origins dating back to 1895, chiropractic has evolved into a widely recognized and regulated healthcare profession in the United States and around the world.

Is Chiropractic Safe?

Yes, chiropractic care is safe for patients of all ages. As a drug-free and non-invasive treatment option, chiropractic offers a safer alternative to traditional medical interventions such as surgeries and medications. With individualized treatment plans tailored to your specific needs, chiropractic care provides a targeted approach to healing and recovery.

What Does Chiropractic Treat?

Chiropractic care can address a wide range of issues affecting your physical well-being, including:

Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Hurt?

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful and are performed with minimal force and gentle pressure. While you may experience a popping noise or sensation during the adjustment, most patients report feeling immediate relief following treatment.

Will I Be Sore Following a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Some patients may experience mild soreness or discomfort following a chiropractic adjustment, similar to starting a new exercise program. However, this discomfort is usually temporary and should subside within a day or two. Staying hydrated and doing light stretching before and after your adjustment can help minimize any discomfort.

How Should Patients Dress for a Chiropractic Adjustment?

Comfort is key when dressing for a chiropractic appointment. Wear soft, loose-fitting clothing that allows your chiropractor to effectively palpate areas of your body. Opt for fabrics that stretch and avoid stiff or restrictive clothing.
