Chiropractic care is a healthcare discipline that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, particularly the spine. Chiropractors use hands-on manipulation and other alternative treatments to properly align the body's musculoskeletal structure, aiming to enable the body to heal itself without surgery or medication.

Chiropractors commonly treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain (including knees and shoulders), and certain musculoskeletal injuries. They also provide preventive care to maintain overall health and wellness.

During your initial visit, your chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may request diagnostic tests if necessary (such as X-rays). Based on this evaluation, they will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Chiropractic adjustments are generally painless, though some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness afterward, similar to after exercising. Your chiropractor will communicate with you throughout the treatment process to ensure your comfort.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on the condition being treated, its severity, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. Your chiropractor will discuss a recommended treatment plan with you after your initial assessment.

Chiropractic care is considered safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. Chiropractors undergo extensive education and training to ensure they can provide safe and effective care. They will also consider your medical history and any existing conditions before recommending treatment.
