In short, no — patients will experience little to no pain during a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic adjustments are safe when done by a trained and licensed professional in spinal care. At Lazar Spinal Care, we believe that regular spinal adjustments facilitate healing and a better quality of life.
What Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Do?
A chiropractic adjustment is a holistic option where a chiropractor uses their hands or assistive tools to correct your spinal alignment. These corrections are needed to alleviate symptoms connected to the musculoskeletal system — even some conditions you may not realize are connected to your spine. The most common conditions that can be alleviated with regular adjustments include:
- Arthritis
- Migraines or frequent headaches
- Joint pain
- Neck pain
- Upper and lower back pain
- Stiff or aching muscles
- Sciatica
- Healing after an accident
What to Expect During a Spinal Adjustment
Typically, your first appointment at a chiropractor's office will consist of a physical exam, where diagnostic imaging is done to better understand your musculoskeletal system. These initial pictures will give your chiropractor a good idea of where to start and compare your future progress.
A chiropractic adjustment plan is based on your exact needs. At Lazar Spinal Care, we practice QSM3 — a progressive upper cervical procedure to correct the misaligned spine. This approach involves a light touch at the affected area to help the body release tension, stress and compression. No pressure or force is needed.
Following your adjustment, your chiropractor may give you further care instructions to do at home, including stretching, icing or heating the affected area.
