Cañon City Chiropractic Care
On your first visit to our Cañon City office, Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. will explain to you how the science of chiropractic works, and give you a full evaluation to see if chiropractic care is right for you. If there is a good fit, we can develop a plan of chiropractic care that is specific to your condition and health goals.
Most of the patients will arrive with some sort of symptom, whether it be headaches, neck or back pain. However, many patients who incorporate chiropractic care into their routines, do not experience these symptoms as often.
Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. and his team will combine manual muscle therapies, joint manipulation, rehabilitative exercise, and nutritional counseling as needed to address the root factors of each problem. This unique approach gives our patients the tools they need to heal effectively and to prevent future recurrences.

Chiropractic adjustments are very light movements performed to restore proper alignment and motion to joints. These misalignments can cause inflammation and irritate nearby nerves leading to pain, spasm, weakness, tingling, numbness, or other dysfunction. Restoring proper alignment through Chiropractic adjustments can eliminate the irritation to the nerve and restore health. Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. applies controlled force to the spinal joints to realign your spine and take pressure off surrounding soft tissue and nerves.
Do chiropractic treatments hurt?
Your initial adjustment may cause you to feel sore and achy immediately after treatment. These issues should resolve on their own within 1-2 days without further treatment. Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. helps you relax and explains what to expect during your first appointment. If you have any discomfort after a session, he may recommend some safe, over-the-counter medications.
Continued chiropractic treatments can significantly reduce your pain, improve your posture, and realign your spinal column, making future treatments easier than your first. In many cases, you may feel relief of back or neck pain after your first treatment. Dr. Buckhaults, D.C. can determine how often you need chiropractic care based on your medical history and individual needs.
