What to Expect at
Southside Chiropractic

Chiropractic adjustments involve hands-on techniques to remove interferences between the brain and body, primarily by pinpointing and correcting vertebral restrictions (misalignments).The nervous system is responsible for controlling all the bodys processes and functions, and is directly connected to the brain and spinal cord. When the spine is restricted, it causes interference, disrupting the smooth flow of messages between the nerves. This can lead to a breakdown in the body's communication system. By receiving Chiropractic adjustments, these interferences are stimulated, allowing the body to function optimally.

Also called a cavitation, the sound that you hear when your joint is "cracking" is simply the air being released.

Adjustments are gentle & effective and generally do not hurt. It's essential to remember that the primary objective of an adjustment is to relieve tension and promote relaxation within the body, ultimately leading to a greater sense of ease.It is possible that some people may experience minor soreness, aches, or fatigue following an adjustment. This is due to the body entering a parasympathetic state, allowing for relaxation and healing.

The adjustment process is quick and efficient, only taking a few minutes. It's important to keep in mind that it's not the duration of the adjustment that promotes healing, but instead the consistent removal of interferences within the nervous system that allows the body to heal naturally. Within the next few hours, days, weeks, and months your body will continue to heal.

Each person is unique, and so is their care plan. It depends on various factors, such as the length of time your body has been under stress / in a stress response and your lifestyle choices, that determine how long it takes to feel better. You are doing the healing, it's about creating a healing environment in your physical, emotional and chemical states.Consistency is key as each visit builds on the previous one. Every visit counts as a building block towards becoming the best version of yourself.

No, you do not need to remove any clothing for your Chiropractic adjustment except shoes and heavy coats.However, in your initial consultation, you may need to remove any metal for an X-Ray, and your Chiropractor may want to briefly assess the skin around your symptomatic area.

Yes! Chiropractic care is extremely safe to get whilst you are pregnant, and is highly recommended for you and your baby/babies!Our Chiropractors are specially trained to work with pregnant women, using specific techniques that ensure comfort throughout the entirety of your pregnancy.As your baby grows heavier, pregnancy can put a strain on your body's skeletal structure. Fortunately, Chiropractic care can be an excellent way to keep your spine well-aligned and properly moving.Having your spine examined by a Chiropractor can be highly beneficial as it helps to ensure that your pelvis is in the correct position, providing ample space for your baby to grow and move around comfortably.

Just like we schedule regular dental appointments for check-ups on our teeth and gums, a visit to a Chiropractor is essential to maintaining optimal spinal and nervous system function. It's important to note that pain is not a reliable indicator of how well the nervous system is working.Issues could be developing before pain sets in, so it's best to take a preventative approach to care, rather than reacting to pain.
