Chiropractic Adjustment

What is Chiropractic Adjustment?

Chiropractic is from Greek words meaning done by hand. Contemporary chiropractic care is focused on a natural approach to regaining health, improving spinal/neurological function and optimizing wellness and overall personal performance. It is grounded in the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal system is correctly aligned and the nervous system is functioning properly. To achieve this, the provider uses his or her hands or an adjusting tool to perform specific adjustments of the spinal vertebrae.

Health is more than merely the absence of disease. Chiropractors are experts on the nerve system (brain, spinal cord, and nerves to limbs and organs), and how it coordinates the activities of every cell and system of the body. By ensuring there is clear communication to all systems, chiropractors help people experience more of their innate potential for optimum health and performance.

There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing pain and resolving joint inflammation.

When vertebrae shift out of place, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow, our nerves, our immune system, and our minds cannot function at their highest peak.

Overall, spinal adjustments and manipulations are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level without any discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it becomes able to respond and perform as it was built to do.

After Your Adjustment

After getting adjusted, you’ll need to reinforce the effect of your DC’s gentle realignment techniques with in-clinic active therapies. Your doctor may also recommend at-home exercises.

Doing these prescribed exercises daily can enhance your flexibility, mobility and posture — turning them into wellness habits you don’t even have to think about. Your DC will also teach you new ways of sitting, standing and moving to gradually encourage the kind of spine alignment you need to live the lifestyle you want.

Many patients don’t wait until they develop a misalignment serious enough to induce pain — they choose preventative care to help maintain their neuro-musculoskeletal wellness and give their DC an opportunity to identify potential dysfunctions before they cause pain and lifestyle disruption.
