Frequently Asked Questions about Chiropractors
Not sure how one of our Scarborough chiropractors can help you? Curious to find out how adjustments works? Want to know exactly when you need a chiropractor? Here are some of your most common questions answered
What is that cracking sound in chiropractic adjustments? Is it safe?
An adjustment (also known as joint manipulations) is when your chiropractor applies directed & controlled force to your joints to restore limited range of motion, decrease pain, and reduce nerve irritation.
The “crack” you hear during your adjustment is just the joints opening up. Think about a suction cup releasing from a wall. It is NOT your bones “cracking”. When your joints are stiff, there’s a lot of pressure that is built up in the joint space – and the “pop” is just the sound of that pressure releasing.
Yes – adjustments are safe! Chiropractic Doctors are trained for years in the art & science of proper joint manipulations. They will always perform a thorough assessment to ensure adjustments are safe and beneficial for you – and will always work within your comfort level.
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors are manual therapists who provide diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, nervous system, extremities and joints.
They can use many different techniques including acupuncture, active release therapy, graston, soft tissue relea, joint mobilizations and of course joint adjustments!
