Most chiropractic adjustments are not painful. In fact, many patients feel immediate relief during or after their visit. The techniques used are gentle and specifically tailored to your comfort level. Some people experience mild soreness afterward, much like the feeling after starting a new workout. This is normal and typically resolves within a day or two. If you ever feel uncomfortable during care, your chiropractor can adjust the technique to ensure the experience remains safe and comfortable for you.

The clicking or popping sound you may hear during a chiropractic adjustment is completely normal. It’s caused by a quick change of pressure within the joint, which releases tiny gas bubbles–similar to the sound you hear when you crack your knuckles.This sound is not your bones cracking, and it isn’t a sign of anything harmful happening. Many adjustments don’t make any noise at all, and the effectiveness of the treatment doesn’t depend on whether you hear a click.

Recovery times vary depending on your condition and how your body responds to care. During your Report of Findings, your chiropractor will discuss your specific diagnosis, expected recovery timeline, and the steps we’ll take together to get you feeling your best.
