How does Chiropractic work?

Chiropractic enables the body to heal itself by regulating the nervous system. Nerve impulses flow from your brain and down your spinal cord. Pairs of nerve roots branch off from between each spinal joint. These nerves link your brain with every cell and tissue of your body. Poor motion or positioning of the bones in your spine can impede nerve function. Chiropractors call this a vertebral subluxation. Chiropractic care will locate these areas and reduce their effect with a spinal adjustment. Health often returns with better nervous system function.

For how long will I need Chiropractic care?

Some patients depend on Chiropractic care when they have episodes of pain. Others choose Chiropractic as part of their ongoing health care. How long you benefit from care and how regularly you choose to attend is, of course, up to you.

How long until I get results?

Sometimes results happen really quickly, for other patients it can take weeks or months. Many factors affect our healing processes. Within a week or so, most patients are able to experience encouraging relief from symptoms. Long standing problems have often led to muscle weakness, soft tissue damage and degenerative changes. These problems can take longer to be corrected, different people will respond at different rates.
