A chiropractor provides non-invasive treatments with the benefits of spinal adjustments and realigning the joints to improve the system and function throughout the body.
In general, chiropractors believe in the ability of the body to self-heal through Chiropractic adjustment with the help of modalities such as the Flexion distraction table, E-stim, Denneroll, and functional exercises. They also utilize various other treatment modalities such as ultrasound, bodywork, etc. to get patients back to health.
A Chiropractor will adjust the joints using a high velocity and low amplitude force to restore any dysfunction (pain) and/ or restrictions that exist in joints of the spine and skeletal system. A chiropractor’s main focus is the spine, as it protects the central nervous system. Some Chiropractors also exercise a very strong background in nutritional assessment, ergonomics, exercise physiology, and preventative care and primarily use a hands-on and holistic approach.
Yes, neck adjustments are a very safe treatment when performed by chiropractors as they are trained in the correct techniques to manipulate the joints safely. Chiropractors also ensure that it is clinically safe enough for the adjustment before they perform it. This is why an X-ray is required before more customised treatment can be done to ensure that your body is able to receive it.
Chiropractic adjustment should not be painful. However, in some instances when the injury is either acute (happened recently) or sub-acute(on the road to recovery), the muscles and ligaments may prove to be guarded or sensitive to the touch, these are some exceptions.
A thorough examination of your complaints and conditions can alleviate any concerns that you may have.

The benefits of getting a chiropractic treatment helps with reducing pain and increase joint mobility. We’ve written an article all about it here.
There also seems to be a lot of concern about the safety of getting adjusted by a chiropractor. We have been treating thousands of patients since 2010 and many have benefited from it. We believe in education so we have put up a blog page all about chiropractics. We hope to tell people more about chiropractics so that people can understand and appreciate chiropractics.

The number of sessions varies from chiropractor to chiropractor. Typically 12 to 40 sessions should be the ideal range, anything more may overwhelm your body. Also, frequency should taper down after 1-3 months and not 3 times a week for your entire program.
The frequency of your treatment depends on the severity of your condition(s).
Typically, patienst may come twice a week in the beginning and taper down to once a week and eventually once every 2 weeks.
Just like going to the gym once or eating healthy for 1 meal will not give you the body you desire, chiropractic will take some time & commitment to see results. You should set a goal in mind of what you want to achieve, be it pain relief, performance enhancement or postural correction. Communicate clearly with your chiropractor your goals and work with him or her to achieve them. A good chiropractor will spend time with you to customise a treatment plan and be ready to make changes when the need arises.

X-rays are recommended if you want to take care of your condition holistically and to get to the root of the issues. It is also for the patients safety and for us to rule out any possible underlying conditions that cannot be treated by Chiropractic adjustment. Just like your regular health check up, X-rays serve to give you and the chiropractor an insight to your spinal health as our naked eyes can only tell a rough story.
X-rays are a naturally occurring form of electromagnetic radiation, they are produced when charged particles of sufficient energy hit a material. Unlike CT scans, the radiation emitted from X-rays is very low. The benefits of these tests far outweigh the minimal risks involved. Typically the amount of radiation emitted from cervical spine x-rays is about 0.2msv which is equivalent to taking a few flights a year.
We usually recommend patients to take subsequent X-rays at least 3-6 months apart. Do inform your chiropractor if you had taken X-rays before and the last date of the most recent X-rays during your first visit. You are also advised to bring along those images for your chiropractor to assess if new ones are needed.
