What is Chiropractic Care?

Chiropractic care is a patient-centered, non-invasive, hands-on, regulated health care profession focused on your spine, muscles, and nervous system. Chiropractors use a combination of treatments, all of which are predicated on the specific needs of the individual patient.

Why Use a Chiropractor (DC)?

Chiropractors are doctors who are specialists in manual adjustment of the vertebrae of the spine and other joints.

Are chiropractic adjustments safe?

Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are generally safe when performed by a licensed chiropractor. At painPRO, our practitioners carefully assess your condition and tailor treatments to your individual needs to ensure both safety and effectiveness.

Ask your chiropractor what length of treatment may better suit your needs and they will help guide you.
