Frequently Asked Questions
HOW SAFE ARE CHIROPRACTIC ADJUSTMENTS? Very Safe. Statistically, chiropractic adjustments are safer then aspirin, muscle relaxers, and back surgery. The highly-respected New Zealand government inquiry into chiropractic care reported that chiropractic adjustments are "remarkably safe."
Do chiropractic adjustments hurt?
Although you will feel the adjustments, Dr. Fox almost never causes pain. If any pain is felt, Dr. Fox will use an alternative method. Dr. Fox is also trained in low force techniques which caused virtually no discomfort.
What makes the popping sound that is sometimes heard with a chiropractic adjustment?
Very simply, the popping sound occurs when fluid comes out of the joint and air goes in. Just like popping your knuckles.
