What to expect from your practitioner
At your first visit, you will be asked questions related to your health history and our practitioner will perform a series of physical examination, with particular attention to your spine and joint health. If necessary we may also recommend other examinations or tests, such as X-rays based on your physical condition.
During the procedure
During your treatment session, you will be placed in specific positions to treat affected body area. You will be positioned lying face down on a specially designed, padded treatment table. The practitioner then uses his/her hands to apply a controlled force to your joint to adjust it back into alignment. You may hear popping or cracking sounds as your chiropractor moves your joints during the treatment session.
