WHO CAN BE ADJUSTED?
Just about anyone can be adjusted. Newborns, infants, children, seniors, and even failed back surgery patients can benefit. Dr. Schwartz and Dr. DeRosier will tailor your chiropractic care to your size, age, and unique health problem.
WHAT ARE SUBLUXATIONS?
Many things can interfere with the accurate transmission of nerve impulses. The moving bones of the spine are common culprits. Improper motion or position of spinal bones can choke or irritate nerve tissue, degrading or distorting essential nervous system messages. These are called subluxations!
WHAT DO ADJUSTMENTS FEEL LIKE?
After the brief thrust, many patients report a sense of well-being. Others feel improved mobility. Inflammation or muscle spasms may delay these positive effects. Our doctors do their best to make adjustments comfortable and effective for each patient.
ARE ADJUSTMENTS SAFE?
Yes!! A New England government study concluded that chiropractic adjustments are "remarkably safe." Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever is about 100 times more risky!!
WHAT MAKES THE SOUND?
Lubricating fluids separate the bones of each spinal joint. Some adjusting methods can produce a sound when the gas and fluids in the joint shift. It's like opening a soda can or removing a suction cup. Although the sound may be interesting, it isn't a guide to the quality or value of the adjustment.
CAN I ADJUST MYSELF?
No. Some patients can make their joints "pop" but that is not an adjustment! Even the Dr. must consult other colleagues to benefit from chiropractic care.
