Q - Is chiropractic treatment ongoing? A - The hands-on nature of the chiropractic treatment is essentially what requires patients to visit the chiropractor a number of times.

In contrast, a course of treatment from medical doctors often involves a pre-established plan that is conducted at home (i.e. taking a course of antibiotics once a day for a couple of weeks).Chiropractic treatment uses what is commonly called an “adjustment” to restore and maintain full and painfree range of motion in the spinal column.

WHY SHOULD I GET CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT WHILE I’M PREGNANT? The uterus is supported by ligaments that attach to the pelvis. If the pelvic bones are misaligned, they can put tension on those ligaments. This can cause back pain, cramping, and a difficult labor. It is important to ensure that the pelvis is aligned properly to allow optimal movement during labor. Women who have undergone chiropractic adjustments during their pregnancy report that their labor is easier and less stressful on their bodies.One of the many misconceptions perpetuated by those who have never seen a chiropractor is that it must be painful ? after all, it means twisting the neck and spine! Nothing could be further from the truth. Chiropractic treatments are administered by skilled, trained doctors and are not painful. The only discomfort a patient might feel lasts only during the few seconds of the adjustment and is quite rare.
