MYTH: Chiropractors just crack backs
Although the chiropractic adjustment is a big part of what we do, it is much more than "cracking backs". A spinal manipulation or chiropractic adjustment is the act of using high velocity low amplitude force to induce movement into an otherwise restricted joint. The "cracking" or "popping" noises that can happen are due to a gas release in those joints. This is a specific therapy to help your joints move through their full range of motion.
Here at ChiroSport, we pride ourselves on taking a holistic look at the patient sitting in front of us. We want to help our patients achieve their health goals in any way we can. This could mean using chiropractic adjustments, therapy modalities, nutrition, acupuncture, or referrals when necessary. We are primary care providers here to help with all aspects of your health, not just "cracking backs"!
