Yes, chiropractic care is generally safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. It is a non-invasive, drug-free approach to pain relief and mobility improvement.

A typical session includes:

• A health assessment and discussion of symptoms

• Physical examination, possibly including X-rays

• Spinal adjustments, manual therapy, or other treatments

• Personalized recommendations for posture, stretches, or exercises

Most adjustments do not hurt. Some patients feel immediate relief, while others may experience mild soreness similar to post-exercise discomfort, which usually fades within 24-48 hours.

The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated. Some patients experience relief after one or two visits, while others with chronic conditions may need ongoing care.
