Safety & Clinical Expertise
-
Is chiropractic care safe?
-
Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Our doctors are graduates of the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College (CMCC) and are trained to identify contraindications and refer to other healthcare professionals when necessary.

-
What is a "crack" or "pop" during an adjustment?

That sound is called a cavitation. It is simply the release of gas bubbles from the joint fluid when the joint pressure changes during a gentle adjustment. It is a normal and safe part of many manual therapies.
