WHAT IS CHIROPRACTOR ADJUSTMENT?

A chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is a procedure done by a chiropractor using the hands or small instruments to apply controlled force to a spinal joint. The goal is to improve spinal motion and the physical function of the entire body. Chiropractic adjustment at home is generally considered safe when performed for the right condition by someone who is properly trained and licensed to practice chiropractic care.
Complications are rare, but they are possible. For ailments mainly related to spinal problems, people seek chiropractic care at home because it is a completely drug-free therapy. Someone dealing with joint pain, back pain, or headaches might consider visiting a chiropractor.

The goal of a chiropractic adjustment is to restore normal joint function and muscle balance. Treatments are believed to reduce stress on the immune system, reducing the potential for disease. Chiropractic care aims to address the entire body, including a person’s ability to move, perform, and even think. Recommendations for your at-home chiropractic care may incorporate exercise, hot/cold therapy, massage, nutrition as well as the use of proper posture and movement skills. You will find that you do have dominion over your symptoms even though there may not be a cure for the condition. You are key to your care. You can gain back the quality of life you want and deserve.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON CONDITIONS TREATED IN CHIROPRACTOR TREATMENT?

Chiropractic treatment addresses damage, disorder, and misalignment of the joints, particularly along the spine. Chiropractic therapy can treat a wide variety of conditions since it can correct both localized joint issues and your general posture, which can influence your overall well-being, especially your nervous system.
 
Back problems: Patients may seek treatment from chiropractors for general discomfort, postural issues, localized pain, or more complex conditions such as fibromyalgia, a chronic musculoskeletal issue.

Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis results from an immune system disorder, while osteoarthritis is the result of tissue degeneration due to aging, hormonal issues, or vitamin deficiencies. Chiropractors can help treat both types of arthritis by manipulating the joints and working to restore patients’ mobility.

Headache: If you suffer from tension headaches, your chiropractor can help by identifying trigger points in your neck muscles. Trigger points may include the Suboccipitals, the Splenius muscles, the Trapezius, and the Sternocleidomastoid

Neck pain: Your neck is one of your most important yet delicate body parts. It consists of seven small vertebrae, which chiropractors refer to as the “cervical spine.”
