Frequently asked questions

Will the adjustment hurt?

Adjustments generally don't cause the patient any discomfort, and are very gentle. Sometimes, a clicking sound, or cavitation, is produced during an adjustment. This is a result of carbon dioxide leaving the joint.

I've had spinal surgery in the past. Can I get adjusted?

It is very important that you inform your chiropractor of your previous surgical procedure. Your chiropractor will want to know the approximate date and spinal location in which the surgery was performed. The chiropractor will then perform the appropriate imaging and tests to determine if chiropractic will be a good fit.

Even if you've had surgery, a chiropractor may still be able to help. If it's determined that chiropractic is not appropriate, your chiropractor will refer to another healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Preventing problems before they start is more effective and less expensive.

Is chiropractic care expensive?

Compared to other types of health care procedures, chiropractic is much less expensive. Even the most minor surgery is more expensive than an entire chiropractic treatment plan.

I don't have pain. Why should I get adjusted?
