PERSONAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE · SOMERVILLE, MA
Chiropractic Care in Somerville, MA
Move more comfortably. Understand your options. Start with a chiropractor who takes time to listen.
At Cordima Chiropractic Center, Dr. Christopher Cordima evaluates back pain, neck pain, and joint concerns before discussing whether chiropractic care belongs in your plan. He has been practicing since 1988 and is Board Certified in Chronic Intractable Pain & Neuropathy.
What is chiropractic care?
Chiropractic care focuses on evaluating and caring for problems involving the spine, muscles, and joints. A chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, uses a controlled force applied to a spinal joint. The technique and amount of force can vary.
Your visit starts with your symptoms and health history. Dr. Cordima explains your examination findings, discusses suitable care options, and helps you understand the next step. An adjustment is not automatically the right choice for every person or every condition.
For an independent explanation of spinal manipulation and its benefits and risks, read the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health patient information.
START WITH WHAT HURTS
