What exactly does a chiropractor do?

A chiropractor helps treat injuries and misalignments in the neuro-musculoskeletal system. This includes problems in the bones—typically the spine—muscles, nerves, tendons, and ligaments of the body. Chiropractors use chiropractic care to help heal spine misalignments.

Do chiropractors actually realign your spine?

Yes, chiropractors can utilize special techniques to realign your spine. Your back commonly goes out of alignment due to sudden movements, impacts, or injuries. When this happens, a chiropractor has the skill set necessary to return your body to proper alignment.

How often should you get a chiropractic adjustment?

The frequency with which you receive a chiropractic adjustment is dependent on the severity of your condition. If you are experiencing severe or chronic pain or have suffered a serious injury to your back, you will likely need more than one session in order to return to full health. Those with less severe conditions will likely need less time.

How does a chiropractor fix sciatica?

Through gentle spinal manipulation, chiropractors ease pressure off the sciatic nerve. In doing so, they help heal sciatica in those suffering from the condition.
