Chiropractic care utilizes manual manipulations of the musculoskeletal system to treat acute and chronic pain and prevent the recurrence of injuries. It also helps maintain optimal spinal column health, adjust misaligned joints, and reduce nerve stress throughout the body.

Our patients frequently experience the following alongside their back pain:

How Do Chiropractic Adjustments Relieve Back Pain?
Spinal misalignment often leads to chronic back pain, numbness, and tingling in the thighs and knee area. Chiropractic care helps to realign the vertebral column, ease muscle tension, and improve the stability of joints and other tissues. Our chiropractor uses:
- Spinal adjustments techniques for proper joints and discs alignment
- Massage therapy reduces inflammation and increases oxygen and blood circulation to improve the range of motion and flexibility.
- Therapeutic exercises to promote natural healing and prevent injury recurrence
Chiropractic adjustments free up locked spinal joints, and many patients have attested to feeling an immediate sense of stress relief after the procedure.
How Often Should I See a Chiropractor?
In the beginning, you may need to see your chiropractor every day for acute pain and, later, once or twice a week. As your condition improves, chiropractic visits may be limited to monthly sessions depending on specific needs. However, if you’re experiencing chronic pain, you may require more visits until your condition is resolved.
