Why should I return if I'm feeling fine?

You may have spinal blockage and not know it because subluxations are often painless. That's why regular chiropractic spinal checkups are so important.

No. Damage can occur by mobilizing a joint with weakened muscles and ligaments. Adjustments are specific and should be performed by a chiropractor.
