Chiropractic is widely recognized as one of the safest drug-free, non-invasive therapies available for the treatment of neuromusculoskeletal complaints. Although chiropractic has an excellent safety record, no health treatment is completely free of potential adverse effects. The risks associated with chiropractic, however, are very small. Because of the modalities Dr. Allan usually adds additional modalities to chiropractic like bodywork, reflexology, auriculotherapy, and other mind-body therapies like visualization and hypnotherapy techniques. Many patients feel immediate relief following his treatment, but some may experience mild soreness, stiffness or aching, just as they do after some forms of exercise. Minor discomfort or soreness after a treatment typically fades within 36 hours.

Dr. Allan is a out-of-network chiropractic health care provider. He works independently from any health care network and there's no referral needed from anyone. All are welcome!

Doctors of chiropractic are educated as primary-contact health care providers, with an emphasis on diagnosis and treatment of conditions related to the musculoskeletal system (the muscles, ligaments and joints of the spine and extremities) and the nerves that supply them. Educational requirements for doctors of chiropractic are among the most stringent of any of the health care professions.

The typical applicant for chiropractic college has already acquired nearly four years of pre-medical undergraduate college education, including courses in biology, inorganic and organic chemistry, physics, psychology and related lab work. Once accepted into an accredited chiropractic college, the requirements become even more demanding — four to five academic years of professional study are the standard.

Doctors of chiropractic are educated in orthopedics, neurology, physiology, human anatomy, clinical diagnosis including laboratory procedures, diagnostic imaging, exercise, nutrition rehabilitation and more. Because chiropractic care includes highly skilled manipulation/adjusting techniques, a significant portion of time is spent in clinical technique training to master these important manipulative procedures. In total, the chiropractic college curriculum includes a minimum of 4,200 hours of classroom, laboratory and clinical experience. The course of study is approved by the Council on Chiropractic Education, an accrediting agency that is fully recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.

Chiropractic adjustment or manipulation is a manual procedure that utilizes the highly refined skills developed during the doctor of chiropractic’s intensive years of chiropractic education. The chiropractic physician typically uses his or her hands--or an instrument--to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine, in order to restore or enhance joint function. This often helps resolve joint inflammation and reduces the patient's pain. Chiropractic manipulation is a highly controlled procedure that rarely causes discomfort. The chiropractor adapts the procedure to meet the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment. 

Adjustment (or manipulation) of a joint may result in the release of a gas bubble between the joints, which makes a popping sound. The same thing occurs when you “crack” your knuckles. The noise is caused by the change of pressure within the joint, which results in gas bubbles being released. There is usually minimal, if any, discomfort involved. 

Adjusting the joints is simply getting some movement to the joint. Let's take a look at some fundamentals regarding joints and movement. Most joints in the body are called diarthrodial joints. They all will have a range of motion (ROM), and when we refer to adjusting joints, we are applying therapeutic movement to the joint complex.

This could include a popping sound and let's explain further. You can rotate your head to a certain degree, and will not be able to move it any further. This is called active ROM. When you reach this active barrier, you can take your hand and continue to rotate the head farther. This is called passive ROM. Then the head can no longer go any further. The popping sound will take place past this physiological space past the  passive ROM barrier. Most importantly, Dr. Allan provides only the movement that is safe for you.
