What is an adjustment?
Chiropractic care involves a wide range of treatments that are non-surgical and non-drug, and it is combined with a doctor's expertise from a formal education similar to medical school. But, the hallmark treatment that chiropractic is known for is the spinal adjustment (in scientific studies, it is known as spinal manipulation.)
Here's how chiropractic care works:
The spinal adjustment is specifically targeted to restore normal motion and position to a part of the spine that is causing pain, discomfort, or bad posture. The adjustment is good for three main things:
- Chiropractic adjustments restore motion in the spine to help flush away inflammation that builds up after an injury or with poor posture. This helps you feel better faster and is one way that it helps heal the body.
- Chiropractic adjustments provide a reflex relaxation to the muscles in the spine. This also helps the muscles have better control for core stability. This helps your body with it's innate healing process, and it helps with your overall athletic performance.
- Chiropractic adjustments trigger a pain-relieving reflex in the spine and in the brain that helps relieve pain as the signals go from the back to the mind. This helps you feel better faster, and because we are making things move better for longer, it makes you feel better longer.
If this is something you are interested in, give us a call to make an appointment. We will sit down with you to go over your health goals, we'll do a spinal exam, and we'll get you started with your proper treatment.
Optimal health and pain-free healing requires good movement. This movement helps bring nutrients to the soft-tissues of the spine and activates neurological reflexes for good muscle control. Chiropractic care restores movement to the spine safely and effectively.
