Chiropractic adjustments are the most essential part of your care.
Spinal joints that aren’t moving right can choke or irritate nearby
nerves. Chiropractic adjustments add motion to these stuck joints,
reducing nervous system disruption. Then, health has the best
opportunity to return.
Many Techniques
Sometimes a specific, highly-accurate thrust is used. Or an
instrument delivers carefully directed energy. Or a slow, constant
pressure is used. Several areas may be adjusted, or just one. Sometimes a
popping sound is heard.
Feels Great
Because we rely on adjustments to help your body “right itself", we’re highly proficient.
Most patients report a sense of well-being and ease. After all, if
adjustments weren't pleasant, our patients wouldn’t return for the
multiple visits needed to retrain their spine!
Everyone Benefits
Newborns, infants, children, seniors and even back surgery patients
can get adjusted. Naturally, adjustments are tailored to your size, age
and particular health issue.
Find out for yourself by scheduling a no-obligation consultation to discuss your problem.
Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Are chiropractic adjustments safe?A: Yes. A New Zealand government study found that adjustments are
“remarkably safe.” Chiropractic care enjoys an excellent track record. A
thorough exam can identify the rare person for whom chiropractic care
might be unsuited.Q: Will adjustments make my spine too loose?A: Even today’s “natural” childbirth methods can affect an infant’s spine.
Colic, unusual crying, poor appetite or erratic sleeping habits can be
signs of spinal distress. Adjustments are gentle. Knowing exactly where
to adjust, no more pressure than you’d use to test the ripeness of a
tomato is involved.Q: Can I adjust myself?A: No. Some people can make their joints “pop” but that’s not an
adjustment! Adjustments are specific and take years to master. Even your
chiropractor must consult a colleague to benefit from chiropractic
care.Q: What does an adjustment feel like?A: Most patients report a sense of well-being or a feeling of calmness.
Since repeated adjustments are necessary, if adjustments didn’t feel
good, patients wouldn’t return to finish their care. Chiropractors are
experts at making adjustments feel good.Q: Can patients with osteoporosis get chiropractic care?A: Of course. When developing a care plan, your chiropractor considers the
unique circumstances of each patient. There are many ways to adjust the
spine. The method selected will be best suited to your age, size and
spinal problem.Q: Isn’t some back pain normal?A: Pain of any kind, at any age, is a sign that something isn’t right. Pain
is the way your body signals that a limit has been reached or a problem
has developed. Since we can adapt, minor aches and pains are often
shrugged off. While they may go away, if the underlying problem remains
unattended, the problem can slowly worsen until it becomes more
difficult and expensive to resolve.Q: Can I have chiropractic care after back surgery?A: Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of
your spine. However, surgery may produce compensation reactions either
above or below the involved level. If necessary, these other areas will
be the focus of your chiropractic care. |
