Whether your back has seen better days, you're rehabbing an old sports injury, or you're looking to support your overall health and wellness, there are many reasons to get a chiropractic adjustment. At Stanfield Chiropractic in Ocala, we’re excited to work with you to help you achieve your health goals. Here, we’ll walk you through what to expect during your first chiropractic adjustment.

Before Your Adjustment

When you arrive at our office, we will ask you to fill out some forms to help us understand your health history. You’ll then have a conversation with our chiropractor about your symptoms and what you hope to achieve with chiropractic care, whether it’s relieving neck pain, sciatica pain, or back pain.

During Your Adjustment

During the adjustment, you’ll lie on the treatment table while your chiropractor applies short, controlled bursts of pressure to specific areas of your body that are out of alignment. Pain relief might be immediate following the adjustment, or it could take some time for the realignment effects to set in. Your chiropractor will discuss any potential post-appointment effects with you, such as minor muscle soreness as your body adapts to its corrected alignment.

After Your Adjustment

Once your appointment is complete, your chiropractor will provide guidance on steps to take before your next visit to support your body’s natural healing process. This may include soft tissue therapy, such as massage or myofascial release, along with lifestyle changes, and stretching and strengthening exercises you can do at home.
