HOW OFTEN WILL I REQUIRE TREATMENT?

Each patient's treatment recommendation is different depending on many factors such as type of condition and how long the problem has been present. Most patients progress well within a few weeks. Long standing conditions may require regular visits over several months. Many of our patients feel the benefit of some type of periodic care. How long you decide to benefit from Chiropractic care is always up to you.

IS CHIROPRACTIC TREATMENT PAINFUL?

Most patients find that an adjustment is not painful. With a traditional Chiropractic Adjustment a popping sound is usually heard as spinal movement is restored. This is caused by a gas release from the joint as it is adjusted and is in most cases painless. At Myers Street Chiropractic Centre we use a variety of techniques for maximum comfort and effectiveness tailored to your age, condition and individual needs. Please feel free to discuss with us if you have a particular preference of treatment method.
