Initially, the improvement may be temporary and may come and go until long-term correction of the underlying condition occurs.

The cost of care can vary based on the services required and the coverage provided by your health insurance.

Manual chiropractic adjustment or manipulation involves a skilled chiropractor using their hands or a tool to manipulate the body’s joints – mainly the spine – to improve joint function and alleviate inflammation and pain. This procedure is carefully controlled and rarely causes discomfort, with the chiropractor adapting the technique to suit each patient’s needs. Patients often experience positive results immediately following treatment.

We provide care for patients of all ages and with various health conditions. Our team is known for its expertise in treating back pain, neck pain, and headaches through skilled chiropractic adjustments. We also assist patients with injuries or disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, ligaments, and joints. Such conditions can cause referred pain and dysfunction that extends beyond the injury site and may impact the nervous system. We also offer advice on diet, nutrition, exercise, healthy habits, and occupational and lifestyle modifications to promote overall well-being.

When a joint is adjusted or manipulated, it can release gas bubbles within the joint, creating a popping sound. This is similar to the noise made when someone cracks their knuckles. The sound is caused by a change in pressure within the joint, releasing gas bubbles. Generally, there is minimal discomfort associated with this.

Chiropractic care can benefit children as they are often active and may experience falls or injuries from sports and daily activities. Such injuries can cause back and neck pain, stiffness, discomfort, or soreness. Chiropractic care is customized to suit each patient and is particularly gentle for children.

Many people recognize chiropractic care as a safe and effective way to treat neuromusculoskeletal problems without prescription drugs or invasive treatments. This alternative form of healthcare prioritizes your overall health and offers natural relief for your ailments.

Many patients feel immediate relief from their symptoms after receiving chiropractic treatment. However, it is essential to know that some people may experience mild soreness, stiffness, or aching, similar to what you might feel after exercising. Despite this, recent studies have shown that any discomfort following spinal manipulation typically disappears within 24 hours. Please know that any temporary sensations you feel are a natural part of the healing process and should not cause worry.
