How are chiropractic adjustments performed?
Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are skilled manual therapies performed to address various musculoskeletal conditions. The process typically begins with a thorough examination and assessment of the patient's spinal health. During the adjustment, the chiropractor uses their hands or specialized instruments to apply controlled, sudden force to specific joints of the spine or other areas of the body. The goal is to improve spinal alignment, restore joint mobility, and alleviate pain or discomfort. They may use various techniques, such as manual adjustments, spinal mobilization, or traction, depending on the individual's needs.
These adjustments are tailored to each patient's unique condition, with careful consideration of their medical history, symptoms, and physical examination findings. Chiropractic adjustments are performed with precision and expertise, aiming to optimize the body's natural healing abilities and promote overall wellness.
WHEN TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR
Anybody can benefit from a chiropractic adjustment, especially those with spinal problems, back pain, neck pain, or headaches. Once our chiropractors fully understand your issues, we will ask you to relax in one of our comfy chiropractic chairs. We will then use our hands to manually adjust the alignment of your spine. While your bones and joints are being addressed, you may hear cracking or popping noises. This effect is completely normal and occurs due to the release of carbon dioxide gas that is naturally present within the joints. After your adjustment, you may notice some soreness at the treated areas, but this should subside after a couple of days.
