FAQ: Does Chiropractic Hurt? Answer: No!

Chiropractic care is helpful in treating a variety of medical conditions, namely those related to back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and other musculoskeletal problems. If you schedule a chiropractic appointment for chronic muscle and joint pain, chances are, you'll be please to discover just how much your Estero chiropractor can help.

Some patients new to chiropractic worry whether chiropractic adjustments will cause any side effects. Medical researchers have analyzed the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care, and concluded that chiropractic adjustments present a very low risk for adverse events or side effects. The only complaint some patients may have is a small amount of soreness after their initial adjustment.

Understand, however, that soreness is temporary. It’s simply a matter of getting your spine used to adjustments - just like starting a new exercise routine. After a new workout you probably expect some soreness. But the longer you keep with the routine, the less pain you feel. It’s the same with chiropractic care. It's important to look at the bigger picture and think of your overall health. It also helps to know any soreness typically goes away with a couple days, and for many patients, you may not even experience this initial soreness at all.

Our Estero chiropractors can use low-force, instrument-assisted adjustments on patients with gentler needs, such as children and the elderly. Gentle massage therapy can also ease muscle tension and pain. Contact Chiropractic Care and Rehab Center for effective pain relief today in Estero, FL today.
