A spinal adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation, is a technique where trained specialists (chiropractors) use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled, sudden force to a spinal joint. The goal of the adjustment is to improve spinal motion and improve the body's physical function. This treatment can help alleviate symptoms associated with various conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches, contributing to improved health and quality of life.

During your initial visit, we will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes a full health history review and a discussion of your wellness goals. This is followed by a physical examination and your first treatment. We will also discuss a personalized care plan and rehabilitation program tailored to your specific needs. The number of follow-up visits will vary based on your individual treatment goals and response to therapy.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally not painful. Some patients may experience minor discomfort during the manipulation which quickly subsides. Many report immediate relief from symptoms after an adjustment. Our approach is gentle and tailored to each patient’s comfort level.

Our chiropractic sessions are comprehensive, typically lasting about 30 minutes. The first visit may take longer, up to an hour, as it often includes a comprehensive evaluation along with the treatment plan discussion. Subsequent sessions are usually shorter, focusing on adjustments and any additional therapies tailored to your needs.

The number of sessions required varies greatly depending on the individual's condition, the severity of any issues, and personal health objectives. Some patients see significant improvement within a few sessions, while others may need ongoing care to achieve their wellness goals. We continuously assess progress and adjust treatments as necessary.

For a chiropractic appointment, it's best to wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows for easy movement and access to the areas being treated. Athletic wear, such as yoga pants, shorts, and t-shirts, are ideal choices as they enable the chiropractor to perform adjustments and assessments without restriction. Avoid wearing dresses, tight-fitting, or bulky clothing that could hinder the treatment process. Comfort is key to ensuring you get the most out of your session.
