Chiropractic adjustments help reduce pain and restore function to your nervous system so that your body can heal itself. It’s not truly a question about if it works or not, it’s a question of how good is your body’s ability to heal itself. We take into account your history, examination, and any xray images to help determine how long we estimate your body will take to heal.

The most common side effect of a chiropractic adjustment is soreness similar to working out for the first time.
