Is Chiropractic care only for pain relief?

Contrary to popular belief for pain relief, chiropractic care addresses underlying issues which manifest as postural dysfunction, muscle stiffness, gait disturbances, restricted range of motion and when viewed with Xray, spinal degeneration. Hence, chiropractic care is more effective when we look at the bigger picture and address the root cause of the problems.

Is Chiropractic care safe?

When performed by highly skilled and trainer chiropractor, which includes doing a comprehensive consultation and examination, including X-ray analysis of the spine before adjustments are given is very safe.
The first chiropractic school has existed nearing 130years and since then many advances in these field has existed whilst maintaining its core philosophy. Chiropractic care is being utilized for injury prevention and maintaining good spinal hygiene throughout the world for example Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States and Singapore.

There will be cases where it is not appropriate for us to manage conservatively depending on the state of your health hence, we will refer you to the best medical provider.

Is the louder the popping sounds during an adjustment better?

Considering everyone who will walk into the chiropractic office, there will be cases where an accurate and effective adjustment will not provide a sound for a joint that is mis-aligned or sub-luxated. There are many factors to consider as we look at the health of the vertebrae joint that is sub-luxated as well as the surrounding tissues around it. There will be cases where the spine needs low force techniques for adjustment or “non-adjustive” techniques such as S.O.T (Sacro-Occipital Technique) or Thompson Drop techniques.

At peak health we tailor the adjustment to what your spine needs to positively influence your spinal health towards the right direction.
