Frequently Asked Questions in Reno NV

Chiropractic is a healthcare profession focused on the musculoskeletal system and utilizes manipulation and mobilization of your body’s joints, which helps reduce pain, improve range of motion, and helps you move more efficiently.

Chiropractors treat anything involving your musculoskeletal system, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint stiffness, muscle tension, and other movement-related issues.

A chiropractic adjustment utilizes a targeted force on a joint that lacks motion relative to the surrounding joints to restore normal movement patterns, decrease pain, and increase range of motion.

When performed by a licensed chiropractor, chiropractic adjustments are considered very safe. The most common side effect is mild soreness, which typically resolves within a day or two.
