Frequently Asked questions Page
What conditions do Chiropractors treat?
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) care for patients of all ages, with a variety of health conditions. DCs are especially well known for their expertise in caring for patients with back pain, neck pain and headaches...particularly with their highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments. They also care for patients with a wide range of injuries and disorders of the musculoskelatal system, involving the muscles, ligaments and joints. 
What does a chiropractic adjustment feel like?
It feels great! It can be as subtle as a light touch, or as much as a small push on specific spinal segments. Chiropractors are familiar with a variety of adjusting techniques and attempt to use the least amount of energy possible to produce the desired effect of better spinal alignment.
Are there side effects or risks associated with chiropractic adjustments?
Few. In fact, most side effects are positive effects!
Certain critics of chiropractic care will raise the issue of vertebral arterial dissection and the complications of stroke associated with getting a neck adjustment. Even after an extensive review of the scientific literature, only a handful of documented cases of this phenomenon can be found among many millions of chiropractic patients. Moreover, many of these instances are the result of neck manipulations delivered by poorly trained non-chiropractors.
