Chesapeake Chiropractic

Chiropractic treatment is actually one of the safest and noninvasive forms of healthcare available. The risks are miniscule. You may experience mild aching or soreness after your visit with your chiropractor, but the discomfort usually subsides within 24 hours.

Chiropractic treatment is appropriate and beneficial for children in many ways. Because of a child’s activity levels, daily life mishaps, and minor injuries, they can experience pain or discomfort in the back and neck, just as adults do. Our treatment is always personalized to what the patient’s body needs and we adapt treatment to individuals of any age.

The popping sound you hear when a joint is adjusted is the release of an air bubble between your joints. This also occurs when you are individually cracking your knuckles or back because there is a change in pressure within the joint.

Because chiropractic treatment is mostly hands-on, the treatment is ongoing to provide accurate, chronic, and preventive care. When your doctor determines your treatment, he will be transparent with you on the duration expectation. Your treatment may include home exercises and extensive visits with your doctor to achieve maximum relief and results.

Chiropractors are primary healthcare providers and must undergo four years of pre-medical undergraduate studies and lab work experience before attending medical school. Throughout education and training, there is an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the spine, and the nerves supplying these systems.
