Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment, is the primary treatment method for back pain, but chiropractic does far more than simply treat pain. Chiropractic does more to increase and maintain the health and well being of an individual than any other form of medicine. 

The chiropractic adjustment relieves pressure on joints, reduces inflammation, and improves nerve function. It has been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, adjustments are used to treat conditions such as allergies, menstrual cramps and headaches.

How Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Work?

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, chiropractic adjustments 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 designed to do, allowing you to experience life to your fullest potential.
