The spine is continually growing in a certain direction as a result of previous and current stress patterns. The spine is never �out� or �in�� it is growing. As a result of this, continuous input of adjustments is necessary to allow the spine to re-grow, in time, to as close to normal as possible. Muscle habit patterns and body matrix changes take time to re-grow. Certainly, there are immediate physiological changes with Chiropractic care, however spinal restructure takes time and repeated adjustments. 

Do adjustments treat actual injuries?

No. The Vertebral Subluxation Complex is found in the spine and because of that, the chiropractor relates what he does to the spine. As the Vertebral Subluxation Complex is eliminated, the body will be better able to treat its own spinal problems. A good example of how this works is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. 

What is the noise?

Some people have noisy joints, for example, when they stoop, they can hear their ankles and their hips and their knees make noises. Those of you who are noisy will hear noises when you receive an adjustment. Those of you who are not, will hear nothing. The noise is not related in any way with the effectiveness of the adjustment. 

Can I have adjustments if I have spinal disease or have had spinal surgery?

Yes. It is the Chiropractor�s responsibility to know the spine he is working on. Each spine is as unique as a finger print. A Chiropractor is a specialist in determining the exact areas and degrees of spinal subluxation. He knows how to work with or around any areas in the spine and how to do exactly what is necessary to release the most subluxations possible during each visit.
