What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects.

The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current literature shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.

Is chiropractic treatment safe for children?
Yes, children can benefit from chiropractic care. Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports. Injuries such as these may cause many symptoms including back and neck pain, stiffness, soreness or discomfort. Chiropractic care is always adapted to the individual patient. It is a highly skilled treatment, and in the case of children, very gentle.

Why is there a popping sound when a joint is adjusted?
Adjustment of a joint may result in release of a gas bubble between the joints that makes a popping sound – it’s exactly the same as when you “crack” your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint that results in gas bubbles being released. There is no pain involved.

Others have told me that once I start getting adjusted, I have to go for the rest of my life. Is that true?
Much like a car needs tune-ups, teeth require cleaning, fitness requires consistent workouts, spine maintenance requires some level of consistency. Do you need to come every week for years? No. Each person’s history, daily practices and inherited physical traits are different, so your health needs will vary accordingly.

We feel Stone Chiropractic should be an integral part of your body maintenance team. Acupuncture, exercise, massage, and healthy nutritional practices should also be part of this team. Each person’s ideal amount of these practices varies greatly. The bottom line is that we can help you live a vibrant and full life.
