How long does it take for chiropractic care to work?

What is the difference between spinal decompression and a regular chiropractic adjustment?

A chiropractic adjustment is a precise manual or instrument-assisted thrust to realign spinal joints and restore mobility. Spinal decompression is a motorized traction therapy that gently stretches the spine to take pressure off compressed discs and nerves. At Absolute Wellness in Peoria, IL, Dr. Kelch often uses both together for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, and degenerative disc disease.

Can chiropractic care help with headaches and migraines?

Yes. Many headaches and migraines originate from tension and misalignment in the neck and upper spine.

Several patients have reported complete resolution of long-standing migraines within a few weeks of care.
