Spinal Adjustments
A GENTLE FORCE ADJUSTMENT DELIVERED BY A CHIROPRACTOR TO HIS PATIENT
Specific Spinal Adjustments Are The Hallmark Of Chiropractic Care.
An adjustment is the chiropractic method of delivering a gentle force to the spine, typically by hand with the intent of releasing a vertebral segment from its abnormal motion and/or position thereby reducing the effects of vertebral subluxation. When the spinal bones are returned to a more normal position and gain their proper motion, your body's natural healing ability is restored. A harmless popping or cracking noise is often heard during the performance of a chiropractic adjustment as the joint is released from its fixated position.
Just About Anyone Can Be Adjusted.
Newborns, infants, children, seniors, individuals with special needs and even failed back surgery patients can benefit from the care provided by chiropractic doctors. Spinal adjustments are tailored specifically to each patient's age, body type and size and health condition. The adjustment is applied with an appropriate amount of force to a specific location and in a precise direction with the intent of restoring proper alignment and mobility.
Chiropractic Adjustments Are Safe.
A New Zealand study found that adjustments are "remarkably safe." By avoiding drugs and risky surgery, chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record of safety. Studies have even shown adjustments performed by chiropractic doctors to be about one hundred times safer than taking over-the-counter pain relievers. Each day millions of delighted people choose chiropractic as a treatment solution to their problems and conditions over drugs or surgery. For over one hundred years chiropractic has provided a common sense approach to better health and wellness.
Adjustments Accumulatively Work To Get The Body To Return To Proper Function.
Chiropractic Doctors Are Trained In Making Adjustments Feel Comfortable.
Never Try To Adjust Yourself Or Let Someone Walk On Your Back.
Chiropractic adjustments are not an instant fix, and usually will "hold" much better with additional treatments over time. An appropriate multiple of spinal adjustments enables the body to maintain or hold an improved level of function for longer periods of time. In order to be healthy and live longer, more productive lives, we all must do things regularly and consistently. Although it takes more effort to eat healthy and exercise regularly, it greatly benefits your health and life. Chiropractic care works in the same way as it takes time and effort to achieve the benefits of increased overall health and performance.
Different people have different reactions to receiving an adjustment depending on their condition, presence of swelling and inflammation, the amount of time the condition has existed, and the person's degree of sensitivity and/or nervousness. Most individuals report a feeling of relief following an adjustment. If soreness does result after a chiropractic treatment it usually resolves shortly afterword. Just like exercise anytime you incorporate a new activity in your life you may have some degree of soreness as a result. Chiropractic is no different.
Some people can make their joints "pop", but that is not an adjustment! You can make your condition worse and cause damage by improperly mobilizing a joint that is being supported by weakened muscles and ligaments. It is never okay to adjust yourself, no matter how good you think it feels. Chiropractic adjustments should always be performed by a skilled professional.
