do adjustments hurt? what is the popping noise?

No, when done correctly Chiropractic adjustments do not hurt. They are done precisely on a joint that is not functioning properly given nitrous gas stuck in the joint. When an adjustment is performed the gas is released helping restore the full range of motion of the joint. Not everyone is a candidate for adjustments. We will determine through detailed evaluation if it is necessary when creating your custom treatment plan.

is it safe to get adjusted when pregnant?

YES! Chiropractic is actually encouraged when you are pregnant as it supports the body with all the new changes. Pregnancy causes pressure on the joints and change in hormones to loosen ligaments leading to pain and nerve compression. Chiropractic uses a gentle approach to align the pelvis, relieve the musculature and restore the nervous system to create balance within the body. Dr. Vargas, a mother herself, will help decrease the pain so you can have a stronger connection with your baby, experience more comfort and often times have a shorter/easier labor. She has helped many women transition into beautiful motherhood.

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.

Children are very physically active and experience many types of falls and blows from activities of daily living as well as from participating in sports.

The length and frequency of treatments vary from person to person.

Some patients gain relief from one treatment while others may need a few. Any at-home recommendations that may be given could help speed up the process and create a more lasting effect.
