What to Expect In a Chiropractic Appointment
At the first appointment, you need to provide basic information about your symptoms and medical health to help the chiropractor determine proper treatments. Many techniques can be combined to help you relieve joint and muscle pain. These include:
– Sharp, short thrusting movements
– Spinal manipulation by applying pressure to the joints, bones, and muscles of the neck and spine
– Stretching or pulling the muscles in various directions
– Gradually moving the joints into various positions
These techniques are not typically painful. However, you might experience discomfort. Make sure to inform your chiropractor immediately when you feel pain. [4]
