Frequently Asked Questions in Riverview FL

Chiropractic is a complementary and alternative medicine focused on diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system and their impact on overall health.

A chiropractor primarily treats neuromusculoskeletal issues, including but not limited to headaches, neck pain, upper extremity problems such as carpal tunnel, lower extremity problems like knee pain, and low back pain. Chiropractic care can provide relief from these conditions by addressing the underlying musculoskeletal issues, promoting natural healing, and improving overall health.

The chiropractic adjustment, also known as “spinal manipulation,” aims to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force to the joints and surrounding tissues. This procedure is safe and effective, and it can alleviate pain, reduce muscle tightness, and support the body's healing process.

Chiropractic care is not a one-size-fits-all approach. It is tailored to each patient's individual goals and needs, ensuring you receive the best possible care.
