Restoring Balance, Relieving Pain, and Enhancing Wellness

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, are at the core of chiropractic care. They are precise, controlled movements applied to the spine or other joints to restore proper alignment, improve joint function, and alleviate pain. At Natural Way Chiropractic, we utilize these adjustments to help you achieve optimal health and well-being.

What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments involve applying a controlled, sudden force to a joint, typically the spine. This force helps to restore proper movement and alignment, reducing nerve irritation and muscle tension. The goal is to correct subluxations, which are misalignments or dysfunctions in the joints that can interfere with the nervous system’s function.

How Do Chiropractic Adjustments Work?

Adjustments help to restore proper movement to restricted joints, improving flexibility and reducing stiffness.

By correcting subluxations, adjustments alleviate pressure on nerves, reducing pain and improving nerve function.

Adjustments can help to release muscle tension and spasms, promoting relaxation and reducing pain.

The nervous system controls every function in the body.

 

By improving spinal alignment and reducing nerve interference, adjustments support optimal nervous system function.

Chiropractic adjustments help to remove the interference to the bodies natural healing processes.

 

What to Expect During a Chiropractic Adjustment

  • Assessment: Your chiropractor will conduct a thorough assessment, including a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and possibly imaging studies, to determine the appropriate course of treatment.
  • Positioning: You’ll be positioned on a chiropractic table, either face down, face up, or on your side, depending on the area being treated.
  • The Adjustment: Your chiropractor will apply a quick, controlled thrust to the targeted joint. You may hear a popping or cracking sound, which is caused by the release of gas bubbles from the joint fluid.
  • Post-Adjustment: You may experience some mild soreness or stiffness after an adjustment, which typically resolves within a few hours.
