Baccellieri Chiropractic

A chiropractic adjustment is a precise, gentle movement applied to a joint that isn’t moving the way it should. When a joint becomes restricted, it can send stress signals to the brain through nociceptors (pain receptors) and reduce input from mechanoreceptors (movement and position sense receptors).
This imbalance can cause muscle tension, pain, and affect how effectively the brain and nervous system communicate with the rest of the body.
An adjustment restores normal motion and alignment, activating position sense receptors, calming overactive pain pathways, and allowing the brain and body to reconnect efficiently. The result is better movement, less pain, and improved function throughout the entire system.
Yes. Chiropractic adjustments are among the safest and most natural forms of healthcare available. Because adjustments are non-invasive and drug-free, the risk of side effects is extremely low.
Statistically, chiropractic care has one of the best safety records in healthcare. Chiropractors pay only a fraction of the malpractice premiums that medical doctors do, reflecting the profession’s strong record for patient safety.
Each year, millions of people receive chiropractic adjustments to restore motion, reduce pain, and improve nervous system function with excellent results. When performed by a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, adjustments are precise, gentle, and designed to help the body heal and function the way it was designed to.
A subluxation occurs when a joint in the spine loses its normal alignment or movement. This can create irritation or pressure on nearby nerves, muscles, and connective tissues.
When a joint isn’t moving properly, it sends distorted signals to the brain through the nervous system. Over time, this can lead to pain, stiffness, muscle tension, or changes in how the body adapts to stress.
Chiropractic adjustments are used to locate and correct these subluxations, restoring healthy motion and improving communication between the brain and body. As alignment and movement return to normal, the nervous system can function as it’s meant to, supporting better posture, mobility, and overall health.
Your first visit is designed to help us understand your health history, current concerns, and goals for care. It begins with a detailed consultation to discuss what brought you in and any symptoms you’re experiencing.
Next, a thorough chiropractic examination is performed, which may include posture and movement analysis, range-of-motion testing, and assessments of spinal alignment and nervous system function. If needed, X-rays or other imaging may be recommended for a clearer view of your spine.
After reviewing the findings, Dr. Baccellieri will explain what’s going on and answer any questions you may have. The first visit typically lasts about 30–45 minutes, leaving you with a clear understanding of what’s happening in your body and how chiropractic care can help you reach your goals.
Chiropractic adjustments are generally comfortable and rarely painful. The techniques used are gentle, controlled, and designed to work with the body’s natural movement. Most people feel immediate relief or improved range of motion following their adjustment.
Mild soreness can occasionally occur, similar to what you might feel after stretching or exercising a new muscle group. This is simply the body adapting to improved alignment and motion, and it usually fades within a day or two.
Each adjustment is performed with precision and care to ensure a safe, comfortable experience that supports better mobility and function.
