HOW DOES IT WORK?
The
objective of the chiropractic adjustment is
to reduce the subluxation, which results in
an increased range of motion, reduced nerve
irritability, reduced muscle spasm, reduced
pain and improved function.The chiropractic
adjustment is a quick thrust applied to a
vertebra for the purpose of correcting its
position, movement or both. Adjustments are
often accompanied by an audible release of
gas in the spinal joints that sounds like a
“crack.” The sound sometimes surprises
people the first time they get adjusted, but
the sensation is usually relieving.
Occasionally, minor discomfort is
experienced, especially if the surrounding
muscles are in spasm or the person tenses up
during the chiropractic procedure. There are
times when the audible “cracking” does not
occur. This is often due to either
significant muscle tightness or the person
having a hard time relaxing during their
adjustments. Some adjusting techniques are
designed to move the spine in a way that
does not produce the audible sound at all.
Chiropractic is so much more than simply a
means of relieving pain. The primary focus
is simply to remove those things which
interfere with the body’s natural normal
healing ability. The adjustment of the spine
is the primary objective of a chiropractor.
The increasing number of chiropractic
centers providing extensive wellness
programs makes it convenient and affordable
for just about anyone to adopt a wellness
lifestyle. Chiropractors are doctors who
understand that within each of us is an
innate wisdom or healthy energy that will
express itself as perfect health and
well-being if we allow it to. Therefore, the
focus of chiropractic care is to remove any
physiological blocks to the proper
expression of the body’s innate wisdom. Once
these interferences are reduced, improved
health is the natural consequence. Who
wouldn’t want that?
