What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care consists of conservative healing solutions for injuries and imbalances involving the body’s spine, joints, and soft tissues.
Chiropractors use manual and instrument-assisted techniques to manipulate, balance, and align the spine and compromised joints. These modalities alleviate pain at its source, improve function, and promote overall health and wellness. Because of their gentle nature, almost anyone can benefit from chiropractic care treatments.
Chiropractic care can help you recover from injuries in many ways; some include:
Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic care centers on adjustments, also known as manipulations. Chiropractors use their hands or a specialized instrument to apply controlled force to affected joints, often in the spine; however, these forces can also be delivered to many other joints throughout the body.
An adjustment corrects misalignments that generate pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. It aims to restore correct alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and improve overall function so you can move freely without pain.
Pain Relief
Chiropractic care can provide rapid and significant relief for acute pain, especially in the neck, back, and joints. By realigning the spine and joints, these treatments can reduce nerve pressure and alleviate pain associated with chronic conditions such as sciatica and arthritis.
This approach targets the root cause of pain to activate both immediate and lasting relief with real results without the need for pain medication.
Improved Range of Motion
Chiropractic treatments boost joint mobility and flexibility, offering significant advantages for injury recovery and post-surgical rehabilitation.
Common benefits include:
- Preventing muscle stiffness
- Accelerating the healing process
- Restoring normal range of motion
- Reducing downtime
Chiropractic care improves joint function, supporting a faster, more complete return to daily activities and physical performance.
Muscle Relaxation
Chiropractors use soft tissue therapies to relax tight muscles and reduce muscle spasms. This can help relieve pain associated with muscle tension and inflammation affecting surrounding joints, vertebrae, and discs.
By addressing tissue dysfunction and supporting muscle relaxation, the joints and spine can function better and move properly.

Does Chiropractic Care Hurt?
Our team is here to reduce your pain, not contribute to it. Our chiropractic care treatments typically generate no discomfort; however, more sensitive patients may experience soreness likened to after a hard workout or deep tissue massage. This usually occurs after the modality is applied.
During a session, most patients feel some level of immediate relief and relaxation, with no painful or stressful physical effects.
Chiropractic Care Solutions We Offer
Dr. Samantha has extensive expertise in offering a wide range of chiropractic care treatments and services. Although most people associate chiropractic care with adjustments, this field has many different methods of treatment.
The chiropractic care we offer includes the following:
