If you have a spine, you should see a chiropractor to make sure your nervous system is functioning at 100%.  Even if you do not have symptoms, getting your spine checked is the best way to take control of your health and prevent issues down the road.

Very Low risk. Although some adjustments may look scary, they are very gentle and extremely safe.

Every persons body responds differently. Some people may immediately feel relief, while others may take weeks to see some changes. The issue usually did not happen overnight so you cannot expect it to go away overnight with one adjustment. You must be patient with your body as this is a healing process rather than a quick fix.

Depending on the cause of your pain, the problem may take some time to correct therefore it may take time to feel better.

You can expect to feel a decrease in pain and an increase in mood/energy. You can also expect to have better sleep and a stronger immune system. These results usually do not occur immediately after your adjustment because it can take some time to fix the cause of your specific problem. Some people feel immediate relief while others feel mildly sore after their first adjustment which is a totally normal response.

This is all dependant on your exam and X-Ray findings. A care plan will be tailored to your spine so each person’s healing journey will be a little bit different.
