What is chiropractic?
Chiropractic is the largest drug free primary health care profession
in the world.
A chiropractic adjustment refers to a chiropractor applying
manipulation to the vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns
or fail to function normally.
The objective of this chiropractic treatment is to reduce this
subluxation, with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing
nerve irritability & pain and improving function.
Can I see a chiropractor while pregnant?
Yes. Chiropractic is safe and helpful for pregnant women, and you
can be adjusted the whole way through your pregnancy.The altered
posture as baby develops puts increased strain on the low back and
pelvic joints.
Is chiropractic safe for children?
Yes. Children can be adjusted. Chiropractic technique for children
is obviously lighter than for an adult. Kids are just as likely to
have falls and spinal sprains/strains as an adult. Children should
also be checked for scoliosis.
