Chiropractic care can be a helpful method for dealing with common issues like low back pain and other musculoskeletal problems. Spinal adjustment is one of the techniques used by chiropractors to relieve discomfort and improve function throughout the body. At Estero Family Chiropractic in Estero FL, we can provide the chiropractic adjustment you need for better comfort and flexibility.
What Is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustment is a method of controlled manipulation of the joints of the body, to re-align spinal and other structures. Our trained chiropractor uses hands to apply pressure to spinal vertebrae and other areas, which can help to restore normal movement and balance to the body.
Conditions a Chiropractic Adjustment Can Help
Spinal adjustment is often used to help a number of musculoskeletal conditions, such as herniated disks, low back pain, neck discomfort, sciatica pain and numbness, arthritis, whiplash injuries from auto accidents, headaches and migraines and general muscle and joint pain. Manual adjustment can also be helpful in treating sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries on the job.
The Potential Benefits of Manual Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment can help bring relief of pain to lower back problems and neck issues. It can also help relieve muscle tension and improve flexibility. Adjustment can also help to improve your range of motion and posture. Many individuals with chronic pain conditions such as osteoarthritis find they have less pain and improved movement from regular chiropractic adjustment sessions.
What Happens during a Chiropractic Adjustment?
During an adjustment session, the patient lies down comfortably on a padded table. The table is designed to lift some parts of the body in order to make it easier for the chiropractor to work. The chiropractor uses quick, controlled movements with the hands to apply specific amounts of pressure to the vertebrae or joints. The release of gas from inside the joint spaces often causes a popping or cracking sound that is normal for the process. Chiropractic adjustment is generally not painful and can bring immediate relief of discomfort.
