At Dadvand Chiropractic we often use spinal adjustments as a treatment method.

Should chiropractic adjustments not suit your comfort level, we will suggest to you our other treatment options.
What do Chiropractors do?
Chiropractors practice a manual approach to health care that includes patient assessment, diagnosis and treatment. In particular, chiropractors assess patients for disorders related to the spine, pelvis, extremity joints, and their effect on the nervous system.
What is an adjustment?
Adjustment is the most common form of treatment utilized by chiropractors in clinical practice. Also known as spinal manipulative therapy, an adjustment is a non-invasive, manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed through four years of intensive chiropractic education. Adjustment is a carefully controlled procedure delivered by a skilled practitioner to dysfunctional spinal or extremity joints. The primary goal is to decrease pain and restore function by improving areas of reduced movement in the joints and supporting tissues, and decreasing muscle tightness or spasm. Research has repeatedly shown that Chiropractic care is one of the most effective ways of treating musculoskeletal injuries.
What are some of the benefits of chiropractic care?
There are many reasons to seek chiropractic care. Some of the more common reasons include back pain, neck pain, headache, whiplash, strains and sprains, repetitive strain injury (RSI), work and sports injuries, arthritis, limited range of motion in the back, shoulder, neck or limbs and for general health and well-being. Chiropractic care can improve movement in your neck, shoulders, back and torso. It can improve your posture, provide relief from headaches, neck and back pain, help prevent work-related muscle and joint injuries, enhance athletic performance, improve your flexibility and range of motion, relieve pregnancy-related back ache and correct gait and foot problems.
Is chiropractic adjustment safe?
Chiropractic adjustment is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of headache, and neck and back pain. Chiropractic adjustments have an excellent safety record. However, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. Even common over-the-counter medicines carry a risk. Most chiropractic patients experience immediate relief following a chiropractic adjustment, however, some may experience temporary pain, stiffness or slight swelling. Some patients may also experience temporary dizziness, local numbness, or radiating pain. However, adverse effects associated with chiropractic adjustment are typically minor and short-lived.
