What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care focuses on your spine, nervous system, and musculoskeletal health. It is based on the principle that good spinal alignment supports better overall function and can reduce pain without the need for surgery or medication.
We use safe, manual techniques to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve how your body moves. Chiropractic is suitable for people of all ages and activity levels. Treatments are tailored to your specific needs, with an emphasis on improving posture, mobility, and quality of life.

Chiropractic FAQS

Chiropractic Risks
Chiropractic is considered safe when performed by qualified practitioners. Possible side effects include:
- Temporary muscle soreness
- Mild fatigue or headache
- Rarely, injury to nerves or discs
- Extremely rare complications with neck manipulation (stroke risk is very low)
Patients with certain conditions should get medical clearance before starting.
Rare Complications Associated With Chiropractic Treatment
- A herniated disk or a worsening of an existing disk herniation
- Compression of nerves in the lower spinal column
- A certain type of stroke after neck manipulation
Don't seek chiropractic adjustment if you have:
- Severe osteoporosis
- Cancer in your spine
- An increased risk of stroke
- A known bone abnormality in the upper neck
Book your first chiropractic appointment to take the first step toward feeling better and moving freely again.
At your first session, we take a detailed history and perform a physical examination to make a clear diagnosis. We then discuss and begin treatment if appropriate. Most people experience pain relief and improved movement within a few visits. Ongoing care can help maintain spinal health, prevent injury, and keep you doing the activities you love.
