What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a hands-on approach to healthcare and pain management. It is non-invasive and drug-free and relies on restoring mobility and function to the body. Through the use of spinal manipulations, soft tissue manual therapies among other interventions, a Chiropractor works with your body to relieve pain, restore function and get you back to doing the activities that you love.
Chiropractic is one part of your overall healthcare plan, helping you understand your body better and helping you maintain proper mobility, strength and of course overall function. Everyone can benefit from chiropractic care, either helping to heal from injury chronic conditions or a preventative means of maintaining good function and health.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment or Manipulation?
Most people associate chiropractic wit popping sounds and fast movements. A chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a quick but small movement that is applied to a joint. The goal of the adjustment is to restore motion to a stuck joint and relax the surrounding muscles. The popping sound that may occur with an adjustment/manipulation is simply gasses that have dissolved into the joint being released, much like the pressure release of opening a can of pop.
People often wonder if chiropractic adjustments are safe, and the answer is yes. There can be confusion and even nervousness and fear based on myths around chiropractic. Your Chiropractor will assess you for any risks and suggest alternatives if adjustments are not right for you and will always provide care that is within your comfort zone.
