Jeffrey W. DeVore, D.C., M.Div. Well, with a little rearranging of furniture and the setting up of treatment tables, the feng shui of the offices has been transformed to heal aches and pains through chiropractic care. While a donation to Being Alive is encouraged, no one is turned away for lack of funds.
Muscles tighten in an attempt to protect the body, and spinal nerves can become irritated.
The resulting pain and discomfort are what usually drive a person to the chiropractor. After a thorough history and examination to determine that the problem is a mechanical one that can be helped by what chiropractors do, and not a systemic one such as a kidney problem masquerading as back pain, the spine and other joints are moved, stretched and adjusted. That sound is simply gas bubbles in the joint being moved around. No, you're not being broken in two. Today's chiropractic students complete an intensive four-year professional program after a minimum of two years of undergraduate work.
