A Chiropractic adjustment is the application of a specific force in a precise direction, applied skilfully to a spinal joint that is fixated, “locked up”, or not moving as it should. This can help improve or restore motion to the joint, helping the spine to gradually regain more normal motion and function. Restoring better spinal function can help improve mobility, vitality, and endurance.

Chiropractors use skill, not force or strength to conduct specific chiropractic adjustments, and treatment techniques are modified to suit the age and health profile of each individual.

Regardless of the approach used, you can rest assured that chiropractic care has an excellent safety record when performed by skilled practitioners. While it carries a very low risk, especially compared to invasive spinal treatments, all forms of manual therapy have the potential for adverse reactions in some people.

There are many different techniques that we use to improve alignment and restore function. They are generally classified as either manual or low force techniques. We may use Manual Diversified (HVLA), Activator, Drop-piece, Biomechanical blocks, Cranial and Soft Tissue modalities.

Chiropractors are trained to modify their techniques and methods to suit the presenting complaints and/or the age of the patient - from newborns to nonagenarians! We will discuss our plan to ensure you are comfortable before we proceed with any treatment.

A manual adjustment creates a rapid and gentle stretch in your spinal joints, producing a small pop. This is the result of pressure changes causing gas to release from the synovial fluid within a joint capsule. This gas reabsorbs within about 30 minutes, but the benefits to the joint capsule and ligaments remain. The sound is not your bones cracking, as is commonly believed!
Some techniques make no audible sound at all, yet remain effective.

That is completely up to you! Much like the choice of how often you service your car, visit the dental hygienist or how often you exercise, the decision is always yours.  

If you have pain however, chances are it didn’t develop overnight. Most issues stem from chronic dysfunction caused by physical, chemical or emotional stressors.

Expecting a chronic and/or severe problem to be healed in one visit is unfortunately a totally unrealistic expectation.  Any change you wish to make to your body – whether it be to get out of pain, lose weight or build muscle mass, takes time and repetition.

As chiropractors, through a thorough history and examination, we form a working diagnosis before providing recommendations based on evidence, clinical experience, and your personal goals.

I will provide you with all of the necessary information so that you can make an informed decision with clarity and certainty. The ball is always in your court.

While every patient comes to us with their own individual circumstances, we find that care generally falls into the following broad categories:

Relief Care – The emphasis is on relief of pain and symptoms. It does not necessarily address the root cause of your problem and is not geared toward long term results. We’re here when you need us!

Restorative Care – A deeper, more structured approach, tailored to your goals. Regular adjustments, lifestyle guidance, and small, sustainable changes that help create lasting improvements. Commitment leads to better results.

Maintenance Care – Just like exercise, maintaining spinal health requires consistency. Many patients find a maintenance adjustment once every 1-3 months keeps them moving, functioning and feeling well. As with every healthcare decision, you are in control and get to decide what works for you and your family.
