Dr. Cissell  Asks some important questions of interest to Minooka residents - Chiropractor Minooka Dr. Cissell Asks...

Can vertebral subluxation complexes clear up on their own?
Sometimes. Today's hectic lifestyles can be a constant source of vertebral subluxation complexes. Fortunately, our bodies have the ability to self-correct many of these minor problems as we bend and stretch, or when we sleep at night. When vertebral subluxation complexes don't resolve, you need to see our Minooka office for chiropractic care!
What's a side effect?
It may sound like a bonus; something extra, but chiropractors know it should more accurately called an "unintended effect," and "unwanted effect" or in some cases an "adverse effect." A pill can't come close to matching your body's ability to create and deliver the essential compounds it needs. That's when it's important to make sure your nervous system is working correctly—the purpose of chiropractic care!
