Many of our patients in El Cajon, CA, are afraid of the “popping” sound they hear during the adjustment. But this therapy is painless, despite the cracking sound. Your bones aren’t broken. There’s no pain involved, and not all adjustments produce a popping sound.
Dr. Caruso’s adjustments are controlled. They improve your joint mobility and reduce any pressure on your affected tissues. Proper joint movement is necessary so that your muscles can relax and your blood circulation improves. All of these support the healing of your inflamed tissues. You may feel immediate relief after the adjustments.

Every patient responds differently to chiropractic adjustments. To know that the adjustments worked for you, look for signs of progress, such as doing your daily tasks more easily, getting better sleep, and feeling less pain. Overall, you’ll feel better.
Chiropractic adjustments involve stimulating your musculoskeletal and nervous systems. They can mitigate any joint misalignment, relieve any mechanical stress, and support your body’s ability to heal.
It can take a few hours to a few months before your pain will be completely gone. After an adjustment, you may feel mild soreness. But this can last for two days. If your issue affects your muscles or spinal discs, you may notice a huge difference in your pain after 3 months. It can be more or less.
Chiropractic adjustments are completely safe. You can carry out your daily activities after each treatment. Even though they don’t involve cutting your skin, you must avoid strenuous activities or sitting too long. You should also refrain from immediate self-spinal manipulation.

Our goal is not only to relieve your discomfort, but also to allow you to resume doing the things you love. We like to keep things simple, straightforward, and personalized, focusing on what's most important, your comfort and well-being.
