Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating problems with the spine, joints, and nervous system. At Agape, our registered chiropractors use gentle spinal adjustments and manipulation techniques to help correct misalignments, relieve pressure on nerves, and restore proper movement and function to the body.

Yes, the popping or cracking sound you may hear during a spinal adjustment is completely normal. It’s caused by a process called joint cavitation — gas bubbles (oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide) dissolved in the fluid around your joints are released as the joint is gently moved. It’s similar to cracking your knuckles and is not a cause for concern.

Current research shows chiropractic care is generally considered safe during pregnancy, with no known contraindications for uncomplicated pregnancies, and serious adverse events are extremely rare. Many chiropractors, including at Agape, use gentler, pregnancy-adapted techniques and avoid certain adjustments depending on your stage of pregnancy. We recommend discussing your specific situation with us and your OB-GYN before starting treatment.

Chiropractic care for children uses much gentler techniques than those used for adults, adapted to a child’s developing body. Research on pediatric chiropractic is still limited, and opinions vary within the medical and chiropractic fields. If you have concerns about your child’s posture or spinal health, we’re happy to discuss whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.
