Most of the time adjustments are very comfortable. Most patients can’t wait to get their adjustment because they know how good it is going to feel and how much relief they are going to get. However, it is normal to have soreness after your first adjustment. The soreness may feel like you recently exercised. It shouldn’t last any longer than a day, and in most cases is doesn’t last that long. Chiropractic treatments are extremely safe for individuals of all ages. Chiropractic treatments are safe because we only use natural and noninvasive methods of care. Research consistently shows that care from chiropractors is among the safest care available and is literally light years ahead of traditional medical care in terms of “safeness”.

YES! Most people benefit from chiropractic. We can help treat anything from neck pain, mid back pain and low back pain, headaches, muscle pain, disc herniations, whiplash, nerve pain, sports injuries, shoulder injures, foot, ankle, knee and hip pain, arthritis, fibromyalgia disorder, carpal tunnel syndrome, TMJ dysfunction etc. Chiropractic adjustments help to restore motion in fixated joints.
