Chiropractic

An adjustment is a specific high-speed, low-force technique that is applied, by hand, to a joint in the body.

The intended result of an adjustment is to help restore proper movement and thereby optimize the function of those joints. As part of evidence-based health care, there has been research conducted regarding chiropractic adjustments. Complications are rare and side effects; such as temporary discomfort are minor in nature. Consult your Chiropractor to determine if you may benefit from an adjustment and chiropractic care or if you require a referral to another health care provider.

Extensive research has been conducted in this regard and Chiropractic is recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of headache, neck and back pain. However, no health care treatment is completely free of adverse effects. The majority of patients experience immediate relief following an adjustment, however some may experience temporary pain, swelling or stiffness.

Temporary dizziness, local numbness and radiation pain may also occur. However adverse effects associated with adjustments are most often minor and temporary. We encourage you to consult with your Chiropractor in order to assist you in making your health care choices, including balancing the relative risk and benefits of any treatment option.
