Chiropractic care is a non-invasive treatment option for back pain, neck pain and some types of headaches. Like any health treatment, it carries some risk. Some patients have temporary soreness or stiffness after treatment, and serious side effects are rare. Before treatment, your chiropractor will explain the risks and benefits and ask for your consent.
Why Would You See a Chiropractor?
Some of the common conditions people see a chiropractor for include:

- Neck pain (cervical spine and related structures)
