No, chiropractic adjustments do not make your spine too loose. Chiropractors are trained to target only the joints that are restricted or “locked up,” restoring normal motion where it’s needed.

Joints that are already moving too much (hypermobile) are not adjusted. Instead, care is focused on stabilizing these areas by supporting the surrounding muscles and ligaments, allowing them to heal and strengthen properly.

Chiropractic is about balance and precision—not just increasing motion but restoring proper function to your spine and nervous system.

The number of adjustments you’ll need depends on your specific condition, goals, and how long the issue has been present. Many patients begin to feel improvement within the first few days to weeks of care, with visits scheduled more frequently at the start. As your spine stabilizes and your body holds the corrections longer, visits become less frequent. Just like braces for teeth or physical therapy for an injury, chiropractic care follows a process:

• Relief Phase – Frequent visits to reduce pain and restore function.
• Correction Phase – Strengthening and stabilizing the spine and muscles.
• Maintenance Phase – Periodic check-ups to keep your spine functioning optimally and prevent future issues.

Some cases resolve quickly, while others—especially chronic or long-standing issues—require more time. Our goal is to get you better faster and provide lasting results.

No, you can’t safely or effectively adjust yourself. Many people can make their joints “pop,” but this is not the same as a chiropractic adjustment.

A true adjustment is precise, targeted, and based on extensive training—not just cracking joints for temporary relief. In fact, self-manipulation often targets the wrong joints, leading to increased instability and worsening the underlying problem.

Even professional chiropractors can’t adjust themselves—they seek care from a colleague to ensure their spine is corrected properly.

If you feel the urge to crack your neck or back often, it may be a sign of an underlying issue that needs professional attention.

Most people expect chiropractic adjustments to be forceful or uncomfortable, but that’s not the case with the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique—the advanced approach used by Dr. Perron and Dr. Azizi.

Gentle & Precise – The Activator instrument delivers a precise, controlled adjustment with no more force than a light fingertip tap.

No Cracking or Twisting – Unlike traditional manual adjustments, this method does not require forceful twisting or cracking sounds to be effective.

Comfortable & Effective – Patients often describe the experience as relaxing, relieving, and pain-free—many even feel an immediate sense of ease or improved movement.

With decades of expertise, Dr. Perron and Dr. Azizi are among the top 1% of chiropractors certified at the highest level in Activator Methods. You’re in expert hands.

Pain of any kind, at any age, is not normal—it’s a warning signal from your body that something isn’t right. Pain is your body’s way of telling you that a limit has been reached or a problem has developed.

The most hazardous phrase a patient can say is, “It will just go away.” While minor aches and pains may temporarily fade, if the underlying problem is left uncorrected, it doesn’t go away—it festers. Over time, the issue can worsen, leading to chronic pain, loss of mobility, and more serious health challenges.

Many people attempt to mask pain with medication, but that’s like putting tape over a warning light on your dashboard—it doesn’t fix the problem, it just delays the inevitable breakdown.

A better approach? Chiropractic care identifies and addresses the root cause of pain, restoring balance and function before minor issues turn into major problems. Don’t wait—listen to your body while it’s still whispering instead of waiting for it to scream.

Absolutely. Many patients with a history of back surgery benefit greatly from chiropractic care. However, surgical procedures often create compensations in the spine, placing added stress on the areas above and below the modified region. These areas can become problematic over time, leading to new pain and dysfunction.

At Perron Chiropractic, we utilize the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique, which is especially well-suited for post-surgical patients. This method is gentle, precise, and non-invasive, making it an ideal approach for those who require targeted adjustments without forceful manipulation.

Our expertise in Activator Methods allows us to restore balance to the spine while ensuring safety and comfort—helping to prevent further degeneration and reducing the risk of needing future surgery. Surgery may have been necessary in the past, but our goal is to help you avoid needing another one.
