Frequently Asked Questions

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to the spine, joints, muscles, and nervous system. Chiropractors use manual technique, most commonly spinal adjustment, to restore proper joint movement and improve the function of the musculoskeletal system.

You may hear a “pop” or cracking sound during an adjustment, known as cavitation. This sound is simply gas releasing from the joint as pressure is reduced, similar to the sound made when cracking your knuckle, and is both normal and painless.

Chiropractic care is evidence-informed and non-invasive, helping patients reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term physical health without relying on medication or surgery.

Chiropractic is closed on the weekends, but massage is open by appointment only.
