What Is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive approach to health that focuses on restoring proper alignment and movement to the spine and joints. When your spine is misaligned, it can interfere with nerve communication between the brain and body, leading to pain, tension, and dysfunction.
By correcting these misalignments — known as subluxations — chiropractic adjustments help the body heal itself and function at its best.

What should I expect upon my first chiropractic visit with your San Diego Chiropractor?
Each chiropractic treatment plan differs. Our San Diego chiropractor in Kearny Mesa, Dr. Tekin, puts your overall well-being as the top priority. During your first appointment, she will discuss your previous health history, evaluate your current condition and create short and long term wellness goals.
During your first chiropractic adjustment, your chiropractor will likely begin by taking a thorough medical history and conducting a physical examination, including a postural and spinal analysis. They may also take X-rays or other imaging studies to get a better look at the structure and alignment of your spine. Once they have a clear understanding of your condition, they will use a variety of techniques, such as manual adjustments, to manipulate the spine and improve alignment. The specific techniques used will depend on your individual needs and the condition being treated. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or soreness following the adjustment, but this is typically short-lived and can be managed with ice or over-the-counter pain medication. Overall, the goal of the first chiropractic adjustment is to begin the process of relieving pain, improving function, and promoting healing.
Are chiropractic adjustments safe?
Chiropractic adjustments are considered safe for several reasons:
- Chiropractors are trained and licensed healthcare professionals. They receive extensive education and training in the use of spinal manipulation techniques, and are required to pass rigorous exams before they can practice.
- Chiropractic adjustments are non-invasive. Unlike surgery, there is no cutting or removal of tissue involved. The adjustments are applied to the joints and spine using gentle force, which helps to improve alignment and function.
- Chiropractic adjustments have been extensively studied. Many studies have shown that chiropractic adjustments are effective in reducing pain and improving function, and are considered to be a safe form of treatment for many musculoskeletal conditions.
- Risks associated with chiropractic adjustments are minimal. Side effects are generally mild and short-lived, such as temporary discomfort or soreness. Serious complications are extremely rare, but in some cases, it can occur.
It’s important to note that as with any medical procedure, there can be risks involved and it’s always recommended to have a consultation with a qualified chiropractor to discuss your health history, diagnosis and treatment options.
