Treatment & Conditions
Can chiropractic care treat migraines or tension headaches?

Can chiropractic care support recovery post-surgery or during rehabilitation?
In many cases, yes. Chiropractic care can safely complement rehab by restoring joint mobility, reducing scar tissue, and supporting overall healing. We always coordinate care with your physician when needed.
What to Expect / Safety
Are chiropractic adjustments painful?
No. Most patients find adjustments comfortable and even relieving. You may feel mild soreness after your first session, but it typically fades quickly—similar to post-exercise muscle fatigue.
What is a chiropractic adjustment, and what does it involve?
An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint to restore alignment and function. The process is quick, targeted, and adapted to your comfort level.
Why does my back “pop” or “crack” during adjustment?
That sound is harmless—it’s simply gas releasing from the joint space. It’s a normal part of the process and doesn’t mean bones are “cracking.”
Is it safe to get chiropractic care if I have conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, or heart issues?
In most cases, yes. Chiropractors use modified, gentle techniques to avoid stressing vulnerable areas. Your health history is always reviewed first to ensure safe and effective treatment.
How quickly might I feel relief, and how many sessions are usually needed?
Some patients notice relief right away, while others improve gradually over several visits. The number of sessions depends on your condition, overall health, and personal goals.
Are there chiropractic techniques for sports injuries?
Yes. Athletes benefit from customized adjustments that promote faster recovery, improve flexibility, and reduce the chance of repeat injuries.
