Chiropractic
Chiropractic is America's most widely used natural medicine practice. Professional athletes, championship teams, celebrities, and hard-working people everywhere know it is remarkably effective.
Chiropractic care focuses on helping patients achieve correct physical alignment to relieve pain, restore function, and maintain health. Through spinal adjustments and other gentle therapies, doctors of chiropractic help correct structural problems that can cause pain, weakness, and dysfunction in the nervous system.
Is Chiropractic safe?
Chiropractic treatment is remarkably safe. Research studies by the Rand Corporation (1996) found that only 1.5 serious complications occur from every one million cervical manipulations. In contrast, drug therapy for pain is very dangerous, with over 1,000 serious complications per million from taking over-the-counter painkillers.
How long will it take to get better? Will I be coming to your clinic forever?
We know you've heard stories of Chiropractors making patients come for treatment for months on end. This won't happen to you here. Your treatment plan will be fully explained to you from the start, and we'll chart your progress together. While it may take time to fully recover from chronic conditions, you should expect to feel steady improvement, starting with the first treatment.
Will I be spending a lot of money on X-rays?
No. We don't take any X-Rays at our clinic. If you require X-rays (many patients don't) we will send you out to a professional diagnostic facility, where you'll receive expert attention. Our doctors will never push you to get unnecessary X-rays, MRIs, blood tests, or other diagnostic tests.
