What conditions do chiropractors treat?
Chiropractic is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the
musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these
disorders on general health. Chiropractic care is used most often to treat
neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck
pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

Why is there a popping sound when a joint is adjusted?
Adjustment of a joint results in the release of a gas bubble between the joints
that may make a popping sound – it’s exactly the same as when you “crack”
your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint
that results in gas bubbles being released. There is not always a noise, and
there is no pain involved.

Is chiropractic treatment safe?
To put it simply - Yes. Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest
drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of
neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety
record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects; The
risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Please don't
hesitate to ask the doctors any questions about your concerns.

Will I have to keep coming back?
At Delhi Chiropractic, we will never set up patients on a long treatment plan.
Every person that walks in the door has a different body and a different
complaint, so their treatment is based on the decrease in those complaints,
and the doctor's evaluation of improvement. The amount you are treated is
always up to you.

What type of education and training do chiropractors have?
Chiropractors are educated as primary contact health care practitioners, with
an emphasis on musculoskeletal diagnosis and treatment. Educational
requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of
the health care professions. The typical applicant at a chiropractic college has
already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college
education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry,
physics, psychology and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited
chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding — five
academic years of professional study is the standard. Because of the hands-
on nature of chiropractic, and the intricate adjusting techniques, a significant
portion of time is spent in clinical training.
In total, the chiropractic curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of
classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved
by an accrediting agency that is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of
Education.
