Chiropractic Spinal Adjustments |
Spinal Adjustment
A spinal adjustment is the chiropractic art of using a specific
techniques and pressure in a precise direction, applied to a joint that
is not moving properly. The adjustment adds motion to the joint, helping
the bones to gradually move to the normal position. The purpose of this
chiropractic procedure is for improved spinal function, improved nervous
system function, and overall improved quality of life and overall
health.
There are many ways to adjust the spine. Usually the chiropractor's
hands are the best tools for adjustments. Some spinal adjusting methods
are quick, whereas others may require slow, gradual and applied
pressure. After years of training and clinical experience, each
chiropractor becomes highly skilled in the variety of spinal adjustment
procedures, and spinal manipulation
Your spine is continually adjusting to the many natural changes you
encounter everyday. Chiropractic spinal adjustments aim to keep your
nervous system healthy so you can adapt to the daily changes placed on
your body.
When your spinal joints are out of alignment as a result of an injury,
sleeping the wrong way, coughing or sneezing or even just lifting
something light can put stress of the delicate nerves within the spine.
Motion and constant change can distort health-giving messages.
It is widely known the goal of Chiropractic is to remove nerve
interference so the lines of nerve communications remain unobstructed
and clear. Chiropractic adjustments are a rehabilitative method of
improving the way your nervous system functions. Regular Chiropractic care of the spinal, through adjustments, is the
natural choice to restore proper spinal alignment. For fast pain relief
and proper health maintenance a chiropractic spinal exam is essential.
Are all patients spines adjusted the same way?
The Chiropractor evaluates each patient's unique spinal problem and
develops an individual course of care. The resulting recommendations for
spinal adjustment and manipulation are based upon the patient's case
history and particular needs.
Some patients who complain of headaches, may actually have a lower back
problem that is causing a compensation reaction at the base of the
skull. Other patients may be experiencing numbness and tingling in their
fingers, when the problem is in the neck. Every patient presents a
uniquely different spinal pattern. Patients notice that their
chiropractic care and adjustments are is delivered with confidence and
precision. Each visit builds on the previous one. Although many visits
may seem similar, each patient's care is uniquely different from every
other patient.
Please be advised, The difference between a spinal adjustment (
performed by chiropractors) and a spinal manipulation (as performed by
non-chiropractors) is essentially philosophical and concerns the
intention behind the procedure. The intention of a chiropractic
adjustment is to affect or correct the alignment, motion and/or function
of vertebrae.
