A Chiropractic Opinion About Second Opinions In the world of healthcare, there are lots of opinions inside of any profession and even more, when you start asking different professions like chiropractors and surgeons about similar symptoms.  Many people often make the false assumption that all doctors have been taught the same thing or even more unlikely that all professions have been taught the same information.  Even if this was true, which it most certainly is…

  Can a Chiropractor Adjust Too Much? This is a complicated question that will find different answers amongst chiropractors for a couple reasons.

comment 1 Comment
Are Self Chiropractic Adjustments Recommended? No. A chiropractic adjustment is a clinical procedure. Chiropractic Adjustments take years to learn and master and should only be applied by a doctor of chiropractic.  The procedure is very safe.

Because of the cavitation (popping sound) that is often, not always, accompanied by an adjustment people assume that this popping sound…
