Is Chiropractic care safe?
Chiropractic is among the safest of the healing arts. As
proof, one merely has to compare malpractice rates between chiropractors and
other health professionals. Chiropractors' malpractice premiums are a small
fraction of those for medical doctors, especially orthopedic surgeons.
Why are x-rays necessary?
The x-rays we take help the doctor to obtain a specific "key" to unlock the misalignment of your spine. Having the proper information keeps the doctor from guessing with your health care.
We take only the necessary views needed to accurately analyze
your problem. Our x-rays are taken with high-speed film. This means less exposure
is required for each view. You will not have x-rays taken until the doctor
determines that you could benefit from NUCCA care. The doctor uses principles
of engineering, mathematics and physics in analyzing each x-ray in order to
ensure the best possible correction for each individual patient. Post x-rays
are taken after the first adjustment as a means of determining that the adjustment
is correct. This is normally done only after the initial adjustment.
Can a person who had back surgery
see a NUCCA Chiropractor?
Yes. It's an unfortunate fact that up to half of those who had back surgery discover a return of their original symptoms months or years later. They then face the prospect of additional surgery. This too common occurrence is known as "Failed Back Surgery Syndrome." Chiropractic may help prevent repeated back surgeries. The Atlas correction is safe for patients of all ages and with most all conditions. There is no twisting, popping, or forceful adjusting of the spine. Rather, a gentle spinal correction is given to correct the misalignment and restore Body Balance.
Is it OK to see a Chiropractor if I'm
pregnant?
Anytime is a good time for a better functioning nerve system. Pregnant mothers find that chiropractic adjustments improve their pregnancy and make delivery easier for themselves and their baby. Adjusting methods are always adapted to a patient's size, weight, age, and condition of health.
