If you’re new to chiropractic care, you probably have some questions about what adjustments involve and what you can expect. The good news is we at Team Chiropractic & Sports Medicine in Wakefield and Raleigh, NC are here to answer your questions about this holistic treatment approach.
What Happens during an Adjustment?
First, we will examine your spine and determine areas that may benefit from adjustment. Once we know what do adjust, the chiropractor will have you lie down on a special table. The chiropractor will then apply controlled, gentle pressure to the affected joint. You may feel some pressure or hear a “popping” noise as the joint is moved back into proper alignment.
Is the Adjustment Going to Be Painful?
Some minor discomfort may occur during the actual adjustment process and shortly after. However, you should not feel any lingering pain for too long. Proper technique does not rely on intense force or strain and any mild soreness typically dissipates within 24 hours. Adjustments should bring relief, not add pain.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
Appointments are very efficient, lasting just 15-30 minutes for the adjustment itself with other appointments being longer if they involve other treatments.
Is Chiropractic Safe?
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are largely safe so long as we take a proper medical history first. While there may be some soreness during and a little while after the adjustment, there shouldn’t be any more risk beyond that if we make sure you are healthy enough for the adjustment first.
What Conditions Can Chiropractic Care Help?
Chiropractic can help treat a wide range of musculoskeletal complaints and pain. If you are looking for neck pain treatment, back pain treatment, and sciatica treatment, chiropractic care may be just what you are looking for.
