Actually they are among the most conservative and safest methods available in health care today. Part of the purpose of the Hall Chiropractic FREE consultation and exam is to determine any contra indications to various treatment techniques.

Not always; pain is often the last thing to come to a condition. A subluxation is like a dental cavity; you may have it for a long time before symptoms appear. That’s why regular chiropractic care is so important Always remember that something in your body for example, a joint, is functioning normally or nature is in the process of taking it away from you.

If you have a particular preferred chiropractic technique, let us know.

Since a chiropractic adjustment is a specific force, applied in a specific direction to a specific joint, it is impossible to adjust oneself correctly and accurately. It is possible to turn or bend or twist in certain ways to creating a “popping” sound that sometimes accompanies a chiropractic adjustment. Unfortunately, this type of joint manipulation is usually counterproductive, damaging joint capsules and making an already unstable spine even more unstable, and can sometimes be dangerous. Adjusting the spine is not for amateurs. Don’t do this in your own home!

The insurance companies use this tactic because it works to their benefit! But it doesn’t have to be so. In reality research shows a substantial number of injuries occur in crashes with little or no property damage. Property damage is an unreliable predictor of injury risk or outcome in low velocity crashes. WE will help you get well and receive the compensation you deserve!
