Can I Adjust Myself Without A Chiropractor?
June 11, 2008
No. Some people can make their joints “pop”, but that’s not an adjustment! Worse, damage can occur by mobilizing a joint with weakened muscles and ligaments. Adjustments are specific and take years to master. Even your chiropractic doctor must consult a colleague for an adjustment to benefit from chiropractic care.

Are All Patients Adjusted The Same Way?
June 10, 2008
No. Each patient’s spine and care plan is unique. With 24 moving bones in the spine, each of which can move in seven different directions, our chiropractors see a wide variety of spinal patterns. Each patient’s care is custom-tailored for his or her age, condition and health goals.

What Makes The Sound During The Chiropractic Adjustment?
June 9, 2008
Lubricating fluids separate the bones of each spinal joint. Some chiropractic adjusting methods can produce a sound when the gas and fluids in the joint shift. It’s much like opening a bottle of champagne or removing a suction cup. The sound is interesting, but it isn’t a guide to the quality or value of the chiropractic adjustment.
If you have more questions, ask Dr. Hans or his chiropractors in Fremont, CA at 510-797-4796.
Will Chiropractic Adjustments Make My Spine Too Loose?
June 8, 2008
No. Only the spinal joints that are “locked up” receive chiropractic adjustments. This allows weakened muscles and ligaments to stabilize and heal. Contact Dr. Hans in his Fremont, CA Chiropractic office for more information.
In A Chiropractic Adjustment, Can The Bones Move Too Much?
June 6, 2008
Highly unlikely. A chiropractic adjustment is special. It has the right amount of energy, delivered to an exact spot, at a precise angle, at just the right time. The intent is to get a “stuck” spinal joint moving again, helping to reduce nerve interference. Years of training, practice and experience make chiropractic adjustments specific and safe.
Are Chiropractic Adjustments Safe?
June 5, 2008
Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are “remarkably safe.” By avoiding drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record. A thorough exam can identify the rare person for whom chiropractic care might be unsuitable. Compare the statistics. Chiropractic adjustments are about 100 times safer than taking an over-the-counter pain reliever.
What’s An Adjustment?
June 4, 2008
Chiropractic adjustments usually involve a quick, gentle thrust that helps add motion to spinal joints that aren’t moving right. Some methods use the doctor’s hands, an instrument, a special table or the force of gravity. There are many ways to adjust the spine.
Can Subluxations Clear Up On Their Own?
June 3, 2008
Sometimes. Today’s hectic lifestyles are a constant source of subluxations. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When subluxations don’t resolve, you need to see a chiropractic doctor! For Fremont Chiropractic Care, call Dr. Hans at 510-797-4796.
How Do I Know If I Have A Subluxation?
June 2, 2008
You can have subluxations and not even know it. Like the early stages of tooth decay or cancer, subluxations can be present before any warning signs appear. The results of a thorough chiropractic examination can show the location and severity of subluxations you may have.
How Do You Get Subluxations?
May 31, 2008
There are three basic causes of subluxations. Physical causes include slips and falls, accidents, repetitive motions and improper lifting. Emotions such as grief, anger, stress and fear can cause subluxations. Chemical causes include alcohol, drugs, pollution and poor diet.
