Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to relieving pain and restoring function in the body. Chiropractors use precise adjustments to realign the spine, improve nerve function, and promote natural healing.

A subluxation occurs when a vertebra in your spine shifts out of place, leading to nerve interference and reduced mobility. This can cause pain, numbness, or tingling in different parts of the body. Chiropractic adjustments correct subluxations, restoring proper nerve function and overall wellness.

Chiropractic care is beneficial for a wide range of conditions, including:

• Back pain – Especially for chronic or persistent lower back pain.
• Neck pain – Often caused by poor posture or spinal misalignment.
• Headaches & migraines – Many headaches stem from spinal tension and nerve interference.
• Joint pain – Including knee, hip, ankle, and wrist discomfort.
• Sciatica – Relief from nerve pain radiating down the legs.
• Posture problems – Correcting misalignment to reduce strain and pain.
