Family Chiropractic Care

There are many ways that chiropractic care can help every member of your family.  A variety of health conditions can derive benefit from seeing a chiropractor regularly.  Chiropractors focus their treatments on the nervous and musculoskeletal systems, using their hands for manipulation of the body.  

The initial visit to Riverview Chiropractic Center will begin with an examination to determine what course of treatment is best for the needs of each individual.  

Most patients come to a chiropractor because of some type of pain, usually back pain or neck pain.  Both of these areas are common areas of complaint and can usually benefit from chiropractic treatment.  After treatment, you may be sent home with instructions on home exercises to help keep the pain under control.  

Chiropractic treatment is painless.  There should be no discomfort during the appointments.  An adjustment is used to help move a joint further than the patient can accomplish on their own.  A snap is heard when the joint releases air bubbles. After the joints are manipulated, the muscles and tendons may need stretching or massage.   

Chiropractic care is also beneficial to children, especially if they are involved in sports.  The treatments and adjustments also may be very supportive to the overall well-being of children and adults alike.  Relieving pain and stress on the body can benefit the entire family.
