Yes. It is perfectly safe when a trained specialist does it. A chiropractor completes years of training and certification to practice. Be honest about preexisting conditions like spinal cancer or previous surgeries. This helps doctors to treat you safely and effectively.

No. Another name for an adjustment is spinal manipulation. It doesn’t break anything. The cracking you feel is the realignment of your spine. A chiropractor is helping your spine back into the healthiest shape, but nothing is actually breaking.

It depends on your body. It can hurt a little, but it’s over quickly! Dr. Shin is careful to minimize pain and maximize effective results. He will never do something without communicating with you about what you want. Other non-surgical treatments, such as electroshock therapy, can also help.

Some people experience lingering soreness after treatment. This will go away, and in its place you will feel much better than you did before. Adding acupuncture to your adjustment may also speed up the healing process.

First, you’ll get an x-ray and perform a simple posture test. Then what happens depends on where the pain is. If it’s all in your neck, you may lay down on your stomach the whole time. If it’s in your upper back, you may need to stand or sit.

Anyone. It’s normal for life to affect your posture. Modern technology is affecting our neck and spine. Adjustments are good for people who experience auto injuries, autoimmune issues, manual labor, or desk work.

Examples include back pain, neck pain, numbness or general body aches, headaches, pregnancy or menstrual pain, range of motion issues, allergies, and mental health issues.

Don’t be nervous! It’s nothing like a jump-scare. You’ll receive kind reassurance and clear communication throughout your treatment. Come open and leave feeling refreshed.
