What Is An Adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is the art of applying controlled force in a precise direction to correct structural alignment to a spinal joint that is not moving properly. The results for the patient with a chiropractic spinal adjustment is reduced pain, inflammation, and improved general health.

Does It Hurt?

Chiropractic manipulations rarely cause discomfort, due to the minimal amount of force applied. Any discomfort that occurs can be eased with some light stretching following your first visit. Most patients feel immediate relief following a treatment.

What Is The Loud Popping Sound?

The popping sound you hear during chiropractic adjustments is a gas bubble that has formed in the joint fluid and then is released.

Chiropractors are well-known for treating back pain, neck pain, and headaches. However, we also treat an array of different disorders and injuries, including sports injuries, joint problems, neuropathic pain, and other types of acute and chronic pain.

Is Chiropractic Care Suitable For Children?

Pediatric chiropractic care is available for children and even infants. Children respond quite well to chiropractic care; it is a natural, holistic treatment that is a safe way to ensure children are developing properly, without any health issues. Recommended times to schedule a chiropractic wellness appointment for your child are:

  • Right after birth
  • When starting to be able to hold up their head while on belly
  • When crawling begins
  • When they first begin to sit
  • When they first learn to stand
  • When they start learning how to walk

For older children, the most common application of chiropractic care is following an accident. They could throw out a vertebra throwing a ball or twist their spine doing other athletic activities. A pediatric chiropractor can also treat conditions such as:

  • Ear infections
  • Asthma
  • Upset stomach
  • Constipation

Questions About Our Chiropractic Wellness Centers

What To Expect During Your Appointment?

Flex Chiropractic’s individually-focused examinations include tests for disc bulges, slipped discs, pinched nerves, range of motion, postural examination, weight distribution analysis, and x-rays as needed. We compare previous imaging like MRI scans, CAT scans, and x-rays of your spine and use this information to determine the precise cause of your condition. We then build a treatment plan based on your needs and if we don’t find that your problem can be helped with chiropractic medicine or spinal rehabilitation at our office, we will send you to someone who can help. We also see many generations of families, most of the time starting during pregnancy. Our doctors make house calls for newborns and postpartum moms after delivery, as birth is the most common place misalignment in the spine first occurs.
