Dr. Shawn Asks some important questions of interest to Florence residents - Chiropractor Florence Dr. Shawn Asks...

Will chiropractic adjustments make my spine too loose?
No. Only the spinal joints that are fixated and "locked up" receive attention. The occasional spinal joint that moves too much is passed over so weakened muscles and ligaments can strengthen and heal.
Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Florence parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
