The chiropractor will evaluate you first to determine where an adjustment needs to be made. A traditional “cracking“ adjustment will usually be performed. I tend to use in adjusting instrument often as a lot of people don’t like being “cracked.“ It’s common to feel soreness for a day or two after the adjustment, but then the soreness goes away. Most people in our office tend to feel reduce stress and reduce discomfort after adjustments.

The spine is the motor that drives the brain. When the spine is off, it will effect brain function. The brain controls everything in your body, so if that’s off, there are endless possibilities as to how that would present itself in a person... headaches, anxiety, pain, digestive issues, insomnia, fatigue, etc. The list could go on and on. Scoliosis will definitely throw off the biomechanics of the entire body leading to pain in the spine and a lot of times the joints in the legs/knees.

I personally get adjusted every week, because I want to feel and function at my best all the time. Chiropractic improves brain function, and if brain health directly controls body health, I’m doing that as much as I can. I suggest that to my patients if they are able to do so. At a minimum we should be getting checked once a month, preferably twice a month. Once a week for maintenance is optimal.
