Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest nondrug, noninvasive forms of health care available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Many patients feel immediate relief following chiropractic treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Current research shows that minor discomfort or soreness following spinal manipulation typically fades within 24 hours.

The curriculum at the chiropractic college includes courses in basic sciences, clinical sciences, and an internship where students get hands-on experience diagnosing and treating patients.

The license requires us to stay up to date on the latest chiropractic information through continuing education and to maintain a CPR certification.
