Chiropractic Care
The main goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore motion in that region of the body. With restored motion comes better movement and more range of motion, which allows you to move better. Chiropractic care is not and should not be painful, if you have had painful chiropractic care, we encourage you to give us a try, as our treatments are not forceful or painful.
​
Chiropractic care is suitable for all body types and ages. Whether you are a first-time chiropractic patient or a lifelong chiropractic patient, Dr. Grimaldi will walk you through your treatment experience and explain what is occurring, as patient education plays a vital role in chiropractic care.

What is the noise?
The "popping" sound you hear when an adjustment is performed, is a gas release from the affected joint. Pressure is released from the joint, thus leading to an audible "pop".
It is important to note that if a "pop" is not heard, the adjustment may still happen. An audible noise does not indicate a successful adjustment or treatment.
What is occuring?
The natural motion of the spine is restored. An increase in mobility of the "adjusted" region occurs. ​​The joints that were manipulated are now able to move more freely, than in their previously restricted state.
​
It is important to note that no joints or bones are being "put back into place". The chiropractic adjustment restores motion to spinal segments, it does not "re-align" your spine.
