General Questions
Here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding our services.
Chiropractic is usually regarded as one of the safest non-drug, noninvasive approaches to treating neuromusculoskeletal disorders. Despite chiropractic’s remarkable safety record, no health treatment is without the risk of side effects. Chiropractic, on the other hand, carries extremely few dangers. Many patients report rapid relief after chiropractic therapy, but others may have slight soreness, stiffness, or discomfort, similar to what they might experience after some form of exercise.
Doctors of Chiropractic (DCs) at Chiro Healthcare and Wellness treat people of all ages with a wide range of health problems. They’re notably well-known for using highly skilled manipulations or chiropractic adjustments to treat patients with back pain, neck discomfort, and headaches. DCs also treat patients with musculoskeletal injuries and disorders, which include damage to the muscles, ligaments, and joints. These painful disorders may involve or have an impact on the neurological system, resulting in referred pain and dysfunction far from the injury site. Patients can also get counselling from chiropractors on a diet, nutrition, exercise, good behaviours, and occupational and lifestyle changes.
The hands-on nature of chiropractic treatment is essentially what necessitates multiple visits to the chiropractor. This is also because a chiropractor may give acute, chronic, or preventive therapy, which necessitates a set number of visits.
Medication is not typically utilised with chiropractic care since chiropractors rely on the body’s natural healing abilities. Chiropractors commonly employ ice or moist heat to relieve pain and muscle spasms.
Chiropractors utilise chiropractic adjustments to reposition bones that are out of alignment, or subluxated. The vertebrae can be adjusted in a variety of ways. Any of these strategies may be employed, depending on the patient’s age, health, and the doctor’s expertise and experience. The adjustment’s goal is to clear any hindrance in the nerve system, improving spinal function and overall wellness. Chiropractic adjustments are fully natural and safe for people of all ages.
Receiving chiropractic therapy to ensure that your spinal joints are working appropriately is an important component of staying healthy, according to us.

Everyone, from the young to the elderly, must be able to walk, think, and eat properly. Whether or not you have a specific problem, we believe that frequent chiropractic examinations can help discover and treat issues before they become more serious.
