Chiropractic adjustments are generally gentle and should not cause significant pain. However, it's common to feel some mild discomfort or soreness in the treated area as your body adjusts to the realignment. This discomfort is often temporary and subsides quickly, leaving you feeling improved and relieved.
Chiropractic is a healthcare discipline that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal issues, particularly those affecting the spine. Chiropractors use manual adjustments and other non-invasive techniques to correct misalignments in the body's structure, with the aim of reducing pain, improving mobility, and enhancing overall wellness.
The duration of the initial visit to a chiropractor can vary depending on various factors, such as the complexity of your condition and the clinic's protocols. Typically, the first visit involves a comprehensive consultation, including a discussion of your medical history and current symptoms. Additionally, a physical examination and possibly diagnostic tests may be conducted. In general, the initial visit can last anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. The chiropractor will provide a more accurate estimate based on your specific needs during the appointment.
