1. More effective than other alternatives for the treatment of chronic spinal pain.  Chiropractic manipulations or "adjustments," pain medications and acupuncture were compared by the Multidisciplinary Spinal Pain Outpatient Unit of an Australian public hospital; they concluded that a patient with chronic spine pain is almost five and one half times more likely to enjoy complete relief of his/her pain with chiropractic treatments than with medications.  The same patient is almost three times more likely to enjoy complete pain relief from chiropractic than from acupuncture [1].

2. Clear your nervous system of interference - allow your body to function at peak performance.  If you are troubled by headaches, back pain, numbness or other muscular or skeletal problems, many of these can be traced to the spine and can be corrected with spinal adjustments.

3. A visit to your chiropractic physician should be relaxing and enable you to feel better fairly quickly.

4. It's all in the technique - chiropractic physicians are trained in a number of adjusting techniques to get you appropriately and expeditiously on the road to recovery.

5. In addition to the spinal adjustment, support for the sore, tender muscles surrounding the subluxation can be further healed with the use of therapies such as ultrasound, electrical muscle stimulation, diathermy, myofascial release and more.
