Does The Adjustment/Spinal Manipulation Hurt?
• Typically, no. The degree of pain you’re in at the time of your treatment and the chiropractic technique utilized has a lot to do with this answer. Whether you’re in severe pain or minimal pain, Dr. Spear utilizes some of the most gentle techniques, such as Activator, and some of the more aggressive techniques, such as Gonstead. • At your appointment the appropriate Chiropractic Technique is determined based on your pain levels, age, gender, condition, etc. In addition, Dr. Spear is Board Certified in Physiotherapy. This means modalities such as Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Ultrasound, Quantum Laser Therapy, Ice Application, etc. may be used to further reduce your soft-tissue inflammation, spasms, and pain prior to or after the adjustment is performed.
