Spinal manipulation, or a chiropractic adjustment, is a technique where the chiropractor uses their hands to apply a controlled force to a specific joint in the spine. This is done to restore normal movement, reduce pain, and improve the function of the affected area. The goal is to improve the alignment of the spine, which can help alleviate symptoms of pain, stiffness, and inflammation.

During your first visit, you can expect a comprehensive evaluation, which may include:

• Health history review: The chiropractor will ask about your symptoms, lifestyle, medical history, and any prior injuries or surgeries.
• Physical examination: The chiropractor will perform a physical exam, which may include assessing your posture, range of motion, and muscle strength.
• Diagnostic tests: Depending on your condition, in some cases the chiropractor may order additional tests like X-rays to get a clearer picture of your spine and joints.
• Discussion of treatment options: After the evaluation, the chiropractor will discuss their findings and recommend a treatment plan tailored to your needs. This may include spinal adjustments, exercise therapy, or other soft tissue modalities.

Chiropractic care can help reduce the physical symptoms associated with stress and anxiety, such as muscle tension, headaches, and neck or back pain.

Yes, chiropractic care can be effective in managing headaches and migraines, particularly those related to tension or musculoskeletal issues. Chiropractors often treat headaches by addressing soft tissue restrictions and/or spinal misalignments in the neck and upper back, which can contribute to tension and nerve irritation that lead to headaches. Chiropractic care, along with lifestyle advice and exercises, may reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches or migraines.

The duration of chiropractic care depends on the individual and the specific condition being treated. Some people may need only a few visits to experience relief, while others may require ongoing maintenance care for long-term results.
