What to expect from your chiropractor
At your first visit, you will be asked questions related to your health history and our chiropractor 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 chiropractic table. The chiropractor 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.
Results
Depending on the extent of your problem, chiropractic care helps patients feel noticeably better shortly after receiving treatment. The general rule of improvement is within 2 to 4 weeks from starting chiropractic therapy. In the absence of progressive worsening of a condition during chiropractic care, a common chiropractic program is 3 times per week for 2 to 4 weeks, followed by a re-evaluation.
Many extensive research has shown that chiropractic helps in improving life quality.
