What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care offers a drug-free and surgery-free solution to pain and lack of mobility, addressing underlying causes of discomfort rather than simply treating symptoms. At our clinic, we emphasize the importance of understanding that chiropractic care is focused on eliminating stress from the nervous system, which controls every aspect of your body. With a whole-person approach that includes adjustments, manipulation, massage therapy, rehabilitation, exercise, nutrition, stress management, posture, ergonomics, sleep hygiene, and more, we strive to promote wellness and reduce issues such as headaches, dizziness, TMJ, carpal tunnel, and scoliosis by addressing the root causes and alleviating stress on the spine and nervous system.
What does a chiropractor do?
Chiropractic care focuses on identifying and correcting subluxations or trapped nerves through adjustments and manipulations, with the goal of relieving stress on the nervous system. By restoring proper communication between the brain and the body, chiropractic care promotes overall wellness and allows the body to heal and function optimally. While many patients seek chiropractic care for neck, back, or shoulder pain, they often experience improvements in other areas such as migraines, headaches, and digestive issues as well.
How long do chiropractic adjustments take?
Chiropractic adjustments, which focus on the spine and aim to relieve pain and promote wellness, are typically efficient and do not take much time. The initial consultation may take around 20-40 minutes to assess the needs of the patient, but subsequent follow-up adjustments usually only require 15-30 minutes, making chiropractic care convenient for busy lifestyles.
Is chiropractic painful?
During a chiropractic adjustment, some patients may experience slight discomfort, but it is typically not severe. Any residual aching in the days following the adjustment is normal and usually subsides, serving as a positive indication of the body's response to the treatment. Cracking or popping sounds during the adjustment are common and safe, and the minor discomfort associated with the adjustment is minimal compared to the potential pain associated with surgery.
Is chiropractic safe?
As with any medical procedure, there are inherent risks involved in chiropractic adjustments. It is crucial to seek treatment only from certified and accredited professionals. Dr. Jared Nichols is a fully trained, accredited, and experienced chiropractor who can provide safe and effective adjustments to promote wellness, alleviate pain, and address conditions such as spine issues, headaches, TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, and more.
What is a Chiropractor?
Chiropractors are skilled doctors who specialize in adjusting the spine to optimize posture and alignment of the body. Through adjustments, manipulation, massage, and other therapies, chiropractors aim to improve mobility and reduce pain by facilitating better coordination among muscles, joints, and vertebrae.
By promoting wellness through proper posture, ergonomics, exercise, lifestyle, nutrition, stress management, sleep, and fatigue reduction, chiropractic care can also help address issues such as headaches, dizziness, TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, and more.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic medicine offers comprehensive treatment for muscle, bone, and joint issues, and can serve as an alternative to physical therapy and rehabilitation, promoting increased mobilization and pain relief. In addition, spinal manipulation in chiropractic care has been associated with benefits beyond musculoskeletal health, including improvements in digestion and other wellness concerns.
Through a combination of adjustments, manipulations, massages, therapies, exercises, lifestyle changes, nutrition, stress management, posture and ergonomics, proper sleep, and fatigue reduction, chiropractic medicine addresses various health issues such as headaches, dizziness, TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, and more.
How Does Chiropractic Care Work?
Chiropractic healthcare focuses on aligning the spine to relieve pressure on vertebrae and discs, promoting smooth functioning of the nervous system. This can lead to improved posture, increased mobilization, and relief from pain, along with other health benefits.
By addressing spine alignment, chiropractic care can provide holistic wellness benefits, addressing issues such as headaches, dizziness, TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, and more, through a combination of adjustment, manipulation, massage, therapy, rehabilitation, exercise, lifestyle changes, nutrition, stress management, ergonomics, proper sleep, and fatigue reduction.
Conditions Treated by Chiropractors

With a holistic approach that may include adjustments, manipulations, massages, therapies, rehabilitation, exercise, lifestyle changes, nutrition, stress management, posture and ergonomics, proper sleep, and fatigue reduction, chiropractic care aims to promote overall wellness and alleviate symptoms associated with headaches, dizziness, TMJ, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, and other disorders.
