Yes. Chiropractic care is widely considered safe when performed by a licensed professional. At Mill Creek Chiropractic, we tailor care to each patient’s condition and health history.
Frequency depends on your condition. Acute pain may require multiple visits per week, while maintenance care might only need monthly visits. We create a custom plan for each patient.
Most patients feel relief, not pain. Some may experience mild soreness, similar to post-workout stiffness, that resolves within 24–48 hours.
Common conditions include back pain, neck pain, headaches, whiplash, sciatica, sports injuries, and joint stiffness. We also support wellness, posture, and mobility.
Auto Accident & Injury Care
