Is chiropractic effective?

Yes. Chiropractic is safe and effective. Scientific evidence that chiropractic care works is overwhelming. Over the past 20 years, many controlled and independent research studies have shown again and again that chiropractic care is safe and effective for treating low back pain, neck pain, headaches and other conditions relating to the spine. Based on these scientific studies, the consensus is that chiropractic care is the treatment of choice for most spinal problems.

What kinds of conditions can chiropractic help?

People most frequently consult a chiropractor for relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches (migraines), disc problems, sciatica and leg pain, numbness or tingling in the extremities, shoulder, arm and hand pain, jaw pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and knee pain.

Your nervous system controls every function in your body so theoretically many conditions may respond favorably to chiropractic care. Chiropractors do not treat any disease but restore proper function to the spinal column removing pressure or irritation from nerves. This often results in better health. Our patients COMMONLY report;
