Safety first! 🛡️ We perform thorough spinal exams—especially after auto accidents—to determine the best course of care before any manual work begins.

We sent this person for a neck MRI and it revealed a serious disc protrusion with spinal cord compression.

By using a tailored mix of instrument-assisted adjustments, laser therapy, and exercise, we’ve helped this patient find significant relief and get back to their daily life without having to perform manual neck adjustments (cracking neck adjustments).

Feeling stiff after an accident? Put your trust in a chiropractor who will manage your care appropriately and safely.

We just received another great review on Google:

Spinal joints, just like other joints in the body like your fingers, elbow, shoulders, etc. are supposed to move. If your fingers or elbow stopped moving, you would be rightfully concerned. Your spinal joints can become restricted or reduced in normal motion. When this happens, the nervous system is affected negatively. When this happens a person can experience pain in their spine, muscles can become tight and out of balance. This leads to mechanical stress and strain on the spinal joints and tissues, inflammation of the spinal joints and tissues, and then pain.

CAN I ADJUST MY OWN NECK?
No. Some people may be able to make their joints "pop", but that's not a chiropractic spinal adjustment.

The purpose of a chiropractic spinal adjustment is to improve spinal joint motion in spinal joints that have abnormal reduced motion and to improve nervous system function.

When a chiropractor provides a spinal adjustment, the goal is to increase and improve the spinal joint motion. When some spinal joints don't move fully, others compensate and move more than normal. So when a person can "pop" their own spinal joints, it is usually that they are moving joints that already move too much. It will make them feel better temporarily, but it won't be permanent and they will feel the need to "pop' the joint again a few hours later.

When we treat people to help their spinal problems, they usually can no longer "pop" their own spinal joints and they usually lose the urge to do so. This is because their spine is now healthier and moving better and does not cause them pain and pressure and stiffness like it was before treatment.
