Q: Do adjustments hurt?
A:
When a patient is in an acute traumatized situation, traditional manual adjustments may cause some initial discomfort. At Giovanni Chiropractic, we use additional techniques which are low-force and non-painful. The Sigma Instrument Technology is an FDA regulated computerized technology which detects where the problem in the spine is and then the chiropractor adjusts without twisting or turning the spine.
We also use Activator™ therapy which is another low-force adjusting instrument.

Q: Are adjustments safe?
A:
Yes. All reputable chiropractors should perform an initial examination including X-rays, if necessary, to first determine if the patient is a chiropractic candidate or not.
Once the determination is made that a subluxation exists in the spine, then, chiropractic adjustments are the only treatment course available. Chiropractic adjustments are very safe, especially when utilizing low-force technology, such as Activator and Sigma Instrument techology techniques.

Q: If I start with chiropractic care, do I have to continue the rest of my life?
A:
Chiropractic care has several stages, and it is completely up to the patients where, when and how it fits into their lives. Some patients want initial, pain-relief care and once out of pain want to return to their previous life style. Others understand that the symptoms which brought them into the chiropractic's office is usually an accumulation of years of poor spinal and lifestyle choices which can take significant time to resolve. At that point, they choose to continue with wellness or maintain care as a lifelong positive lifestyle choice.
No one is ever forced or coerced into making health decisions which are not right for them. It is always the patient's decision what to do with their body.

Q: Is chiropractic care safe for children?
A:
Absolutely, and necessary. From birth traumas to toddler falls to school bumps and bruises, children are little by little developing spinal subluxations which may not be detected as “problems” for years to come.
By getting regular chiropractic check-ups, they will be assured of having the best choice of living a healthy life.
Dr. Giovanni has adjusted children for over 30 years without ever having any adverse effects. Her own children are 8 and 11 years old and both have been adjusted from birth and get regular chiropractic adjustments. They are both healthy and have rarely been to a medical doctor for anything other than a wellness check-up.
