How does chiropractic treatment work?
Our bones can move “out of place” and become misaligned. When this happens often the result is painful motion, muscle spasm and nerve irritation. A chiropractic doctor is trained to find the problem area and restore normal function. The doctor uses therapy to reduce symptoms and manual techniques to gently move the bones back into place. The result is pain relief and normal function without medication and surgery.
Does the treatment hurt?
Treatment often provides significant pain relief. But discomfort depends on the severity of the patient’s condition and symptoms. Dr. Norris uses soft tissue therapy and specialized chiropractic tables to help his patients relax. Rest assured the doctor will explain everything before treating you.
Can chiropractic help back pain?
Numerous studies have shown that chiropractic treatment is very effective in reducing low back pain symptoms. In fact chiropractic care was found more effective in treating acute low back than anti-inflammatory medication, physical therapy and rest. Chiropractic care is effective in treating headaches, neck and back conditions. If you or someone you love is suffering from pain considering chiropractic care is a smart decision.
What about chiropractic for kids?
Children respond to chiropractic treatments better than adults, because they don’t have degeneration in their spine. Children are very active. They run, jump and fall… all day. This activity can stress their necks and backs. Seeing a doctor of chiropractic helps restore normal function safely and gently. It helps get them back on the playground.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients have less pain within a few visits. But people are different and some conditions may require more treatment than others. Dr. Norris will give you his clinical opinion for the best outcome. Our goal is to get you out of pain as fast as possible. We never pressure our patients about appointments.
