Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic adjustments may be used as part of a treatment plan for a variety of musculoskeletal concerns. Depending on your individual needs, they may help:

• Improve joint mobility and movement

• Reduce certain types of neck and back pain

• Improve comfort with everyday activities

• Address joint stiffness

• Support recovery alongside exercise and other rehabilitation strategies

What makes your approach different from other chiropractors?

At Synergy Chiropractic, we focus on individualized, one-on-one care. Your treatment begins with a thorough assessment so we can understand your concerns, movement limitations and goals. We tailor treatment to your needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.

What can I expect during my first chiropractic appointment?

Your first appointment includes a 45-minute consultation and assessment. We'll discuss your health history and concerns, assess your movement and determine an appropriate treatment plan. Treatment may also be provided during your first visit when appropriate.

What To Expect

Is chiropractic care safe?

Chiropractic care is generally considered safe when provided by a qualified, licensed chiropractor. As with any treatment, there can be potential risks and side effects. Your treatment approach will be based on your health history, assessment findings and individual needs.

What does a chiropractic adjustment do?

A chiropractic adjustment involves applying a controlled force to a joint to help improve its movement. Adjustments may be used to address joint stiffness and certain types of musculoskeletal pain, including neck and back pain.

What causes the “popping” sound during an adjustment?

The popping sound sometimes heard during an adjustment is caused by a rapid change in pressure within the joint, which releases dissolved gases from the joint fluid. This is called cavitation. The sound is not necessary for an adjustment to be effective.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Most people tolerate chiropractic adjustments well. You may feel pressure or mild discomfort during certain techniques, and some people experience temporary soreness afterward. We can modify techniques based on your comfort level and preferences.

Do I have to receive manual adjustments?

No. We use a variety of techniques, including manual adjustments, drop-table techniques, instrument-assisted adjustments and flexion-distraction. Treatment is individualized, and we can discuss alternatives if you prefer not to receive manual adjustments.

How many chiropractic appointments will I need?

The number of appointments varies depending on your condition, symptoms, goals and response to treatment. After your initial assessment, we'll discuss appropriate treatment options and expected timelines. Your progress will be reassessed as needed.

Do you offer direct billing?

Yes, we offer direct billing to most major insurance providers. Coverage depends on your individual insurance plan and available benefits.
