Yes. Chiropractic treatment is one of the safest and least invasive methods of treating spine-related problems. According to the scientific research, proper chiropractic care guided by a qualified chiropractor is rarely associated with any serious complications. The report from ?The American Journal of Medicine? by Stevenson and Ernst estimated the risk of complications following spinal manipulation to between 1 in1-2 milion to 1 in 400,000 treatments, and even there the adverse reactions are usually mild and short ?lasting.

During the first visit we will conduct a detailed interview and examination, including neurological, orthopedic and chiropractic examination. In addition, we may conduct a computer EMG spinal scan to determine the degree of your problem. Based on the information, we can also order additional investigations like an x-ray or MRI scan. At the second visit, we will explain the cause of your problem and perform first chiropractic treatment. Each patient will receive an individual plan of care based on the presenting problem and examination results.

Duration of treatment depends on the problem and examination results and can range from a few to several sessions. In our clinic we constantly monitor patient?s progress for the best effectiveness of individual treatment plan.
