Chances are, depending on your individual needs, she will begin your treatment process with a back adjustment.
Low back pain is frequently treated with chiropractic adjustments, also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. Chiropractic adjustments are designed to treat subluxations using manipulation. In order to reduce nerve irritation and relieve stiffness, this treatment aims to restore the proper functioning and curvature of the spine.
The purpose of a spinal adjustment is to resolve a misalignment of the vertebrae that may be putting pressure on the nervous system. This treatment involves a gentle and precise manipulation of the spine, either through manual techniques or with adjusting instruments.
By relieving the tension on the nervous system, the proper functioning of the body can be restored, promoting overall wellness. Whether dealing with acute pain or seeking to maintain optimal health, spinal adjustments have been proven effective in managing conditions related to injury or trauma.
What Is A Spinal Adjustment?
How Do Back Adjustments Work?
Adjusting plays a crucial role in addressing vertebral subluxations. This approach not only relieves pain and inflammation, but also alleviates muscle spasm and tension, restores proper spinal biomechanics.
Most importantly, adjustments eliminate nerve irritation and interference to enhance overall health and wellness. Chiropractors are the only professionals equipped with the knowledge and skills to detect and correct subluxations through chiropractic adjustments.
Do Chiroparactic Adjustments Hurt?
To affect a vertebra in chiropractic, a lever arm thrust of high velocity and short length is often used. When oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide are released from the spine, an audible release of gas occurs to relieve joint pressure, and most of the time, there is relief, although minor discomfort has been reported (temporarily).
A common response to a chiropractic adjustment is aching or soreness in the spinal joints or muscles, as mentioned above. Usually, this pain is experienced within the first few hours of treatment and resolves within 24 hours. If you happen to feel discomfort after your adjustment, simply apply an ice pack to the area as needed.
Non-Spinal Adjusments
In addition to the spine and pelvis, the chiropractor can adjust almost every joint in the body. In fact, some chiropractors are even trained in techniques to adjust the joints of the skull (sutures), including the hands and feet, wrists and ankles, elbows and knees, shoulders and hips, ribs and the jaw.
Similar to the spinal joints, extremity joints can also experience misalignment and fixation. The use of chiropractic adjustment methods can improve the functioning of these joints, promoting longevity and reducing wear and tear.
This is particularly beneficial for athletes who rely on optimal joint performance from frequently used joints. Adjustments offer an immediate boost in range of motion and nourish the joint with nutrients, as movement is necessary to supply nutrients to the cartilage and remove waste products.
Here's What Bruce N. Has To Say
Bruce N. Hobart, IN
“In 2005 I had been involved in a pretty bad accident while testing a prototype racing jet ski.
My doctor at that time was adament that I have a spinal surgery to fix the injury, however surgery was never an option in my mind.
There have been many times in the past years in which I thought I might have to give in and get the surgery. That was all before I met this amazing woman.
I suffer from two herniated disks in my lower back. When they act up I call my chiropractor, Dr. Megan. She gets me back on my feet every time. I’ll drive the extra miles any day!”
