The practice says chiropractic is safe and effective at every age. Dr. Salem adjusts her techniques and pressure to fit each person, and patients who are more fragile, including those living with osteoporosis, are welcome.
The practice says Dr. Salem has cared for pregnant patients for years using gentle, prenatal-appropriate techniques.
The practice says it should not, and that most people are surprised by how gentle the care is. The site of an acute injury may be tender, and releasing long-held tension can occasionally feel achy for a short time.
The practice suggests noting any health concerns you want to discuss and drinking plenty of water beforehand, ideally starting the day before. When requesting an appointment, say whether morning or afternoon works better.
