The Real Measure of Effective Chiropractic Care

Hello! I'm Dr. Marlee Coleman, specializing in prenatal, postpartum, and pediatric chiropractic care at Excelsior Family Chiropractic. Today, I want to address a common misconception in chiropractic adjustments—the fascination with the "pop."

Beyond the Pop

Many patients express concern when they don't hear a pop during their adjustment, wondering if the treatment was effective. It's important to understand that the sound of popping is not an indicator of a successful adjustment. This sound is merely air escaping from the joint, not a measure of the alignment or the precise correction needed.

The Essence of Chiropractic Care

As Gonstead chiropractors, we focus on the precision and direction of the adjustment, not the noise it may or may not make. The true effectiveness of an adjustment lies in the specific movement of the bones to relieve pressure on the nerves. This is determined by the feel under our hands, not by the sound. Each bone in the spine can become misaligned due to various stressors, affecting the nerves that connect to our organs, tissues, and muscles. When these nerves are stressed, our body's ability to function optimally is compromised.

Our Special Approach

At Excelsior, we take a detailed and thorough approach to each patient's care. Whether you're a pregnant mother worried about making it to full term comfortably, or a new parent struggling with your baby's sleep, latching, or digestive issues, we are here to help. Our goal is to alleviate the stress on your nerves, allowing you and your baby to function at your best.

Prenatal, Postpartum, and Pediatric Care

Chiropractic care is not just about addressing pain; it's about optimizing your body's overall function and health. For expectant mothers, adjustments can help manage discomfort during pregnancy and prepare the body for a smoother delivery. For new parents, it can mean helping your newborn find relief from colicky symptoms or feeding issues, paving the way for better sleep and overall comfort.
