Yes, chiropractic adjustments can improve cognitive behavior and reduce stress. There are several physiological reasons Why spinal adjustments improve brain function. I would suggest to attend the lecture in my office on a Tuesday evening. It is too cumbersome to try to put this in writing.

Yes, you can feel sore after an adjustment. When you start getting your spine realigned your muscles and ligaments adapt just a structural change. This is similar to when you begin an exercise program your body is not used to.

There are many chiropractic techniques. There is no best technique, there is only the best technique for that person.

You’re a pain can be caused by several factors. To determine what is your best course of action you should have a spinal examination. In fact, commonly pain between your shoulder blades can be from a lack of the normal curve in your neck combined with misalignment in your mid back. You should consider scheduling an examination with a doctor of chiropractic.

Hello there, I’m not sure you can realign your hips by yourself. You can stretch your hamstrings, strengthen your core and loosen your paraspinal muscles. Beyond that, consult with a doctor of chiropractic.

Hello there, yes for sure a skilled doctor of chiropractic will be versed in several techniques which will realign your spine.

Hello there, yes you can pop your own neck. Commonly, when you’re doing that you’re getting an vertebra that have too much motion to make a noise because they are compensating for other vertebrae above or below that are locked up (a vertebral subluxation).

Hi there, it’s your back pain that has persisted for months or years. There is likely a misalignment for structural abnormalities causing nerve irritation. That is the best helped through chiropractic care. Schedule an appointment for a thorough evaluation.

Hi there and I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!

The best way to determine if your baby needs chiropractic care is to have an evaluation with a doctor of chiropractic who is skilled in taking care of children. It is a good idea to pursue this matter as the birth process itself can cause irritation to the spine, often in the upper neck. This is so important for your growing child.

Most sincerely,

Dr. Steve

Hello there, I hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Your neck adjustments are some of the most important as the nerves exit between the spinal bones, vertebrae, affecting not only a pain-free life, but also proper organ function.

Hello there,

Although most people do not experience pain after an adjustment, it is possible to be sore after the first adjustment or two. Post-adjustment, muscles are working much differently, and just like when you have not exercised in a while, your muscles may ache a little bit.

Hi there Miss 37 ears old,

An adjustment is a fine-tuning of your nervous system, which allows your body to function at its best! Does that sound like something you should do?

Hi there: there are many causes of leg weakness. One of the most common is from irritation to the nerves in the lower spine. Many chiropractic adjustment that needs to remove that pressure Hi there: there are many causes of leg weakness. One of the most common is from irritation to the nerves in the lower spine. Many chiropractic adjustment techniques remove nerve irritation and improve the function and strength of the lower extremities.
Chiropractic care is the most conservative approach for weakness and pain in the legs and should be considered first after you’re a doctor of chiropractic rules out any other possible conditions.

Hi there, no in fact chiropractors who are skilled in adjusting techniques will prevent arthritic development or progression!

Hi there,

That is a very good question! Our spines register every stress in our internal and external environment. Your spine is a fulcrum where your arms and legs pivot in and any stress of work, sleep, etc., register in your spine/nerve system. Emotional stress pulls muscles as well as changes the tone of the nervous system. Finally, and perhaps more now than ever before, your nerve system has to deal with chemical imbalances such as pesticides, preservatives in the food, garbage in the air and water, etc. All of the stresses caused the spine to misaligned, this is why I have been under care for 44 years. Most of that has been on a maintenance program except when I have more trauma to my spine and require more visits. Of course, if you strengthen your core muscles, stretch your hamstrings, keep your spinal muscles loose, eat a good diet, meditate, and reduce stress, you will need less visits to your nervous system working well! Chiropractic is a lifestyle choice just like all of the other things you do to stay healthy. Unfortunately, most people try to use chiropractic in an allopathic method, which is the treatment for problems.

Hi there,

Unless you’re in acute pain where ice would be most beneficial. I usually don’t have people do anything after their adjustment. Sometimes it’s better not to jump in your car and to go for a short walk.

Hi there, you can feel a little sore after your first few adjustments. A skilled chiropractor will change his technique to determine what works best if you were still feeling discomfort

Hi there, for sure don’t sleep on your stomach. You can try on your back with a pillow under your knees a small pillow under your neck. If you’re a side sleeper, a pillow between your knees and a slightly thicker pillow under your neck.

Hi there, the only true way to know is to see a doctor of chiropractic for a spinal evaluation. You cannot judge by symptoms as many people have not only a misalignment but wear and tear, or degenerative change (osteoarthritis) at one or multiple levels and have no symptoms. This is a fact I have observed over the last 38 years of checking peoples minds which often include x-rays.

Hi there, it is best not to leave a wrap on your ankle overnight
