FAQs
How often do I need to get adjusted?
Frequency of care depends on your condition, severity, and health goals. Acute issues may require several visits a week initially and maintenance care for general wellness may be once a month. Consistent chiropractic care can help maintain spinal health and prevent future injuries, and our chiropractors in Coquitlam and Burnaby will create a schedule that suits you.
Does chiropractic really crack the spine?
The “cracking” sound associated with chiropractic adjustments is not the spine breaking or cracking but the release of gas bubbles from the synovial fluid within the joints. This is called cavitation. When joint pressure is reduced during an adjustment this happens. While the sound can be cool, the presence or absence of it is not an indicator of the treatment success.
Is chiropractic safe during pregnancy?
Chiropractic care is considered safe and beneficial during pregnancy, so long as you don’t have complications that your doctor would advise caution for. Adjustments can address pregnancy related discomforts like lower back pain, pelvic pain, and sciatica and promote optimal fetal positioning for birth. Talk to your doctor about chiropractic care, and meet with one of our chiropractors to discuss any concerns so that you can proceed with treatment safely and peacefully!
