What Exactly is a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Chiropractic adjustments are designed to alleviate pain, improve range of motion and promote overall health. Our chiropractors are trained professionals who apply pressure to adjust the spine and other joints, to restore proper alignment and improve overall function.
What Does It Treat?
Adjustments are helpful in treating injuries or chronic pain, especially in the back and neck. The chiropractor manipulates the vertebrae, realigning them and, in turn, reducing pressure on nerves and other tissues. For individuals who have experienced car crashes or sports injuries, a chiropractor can help eliminate pain and expedite the healing process.
Does It Actually Work?
The benefits of chiropractic adjustments can be seen across a variety of conditions, including headaches, sciatica, and chronic pain. A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that chiropractic care was more effective at treating neck pain than medication.
In addition to repairing injuries and providing relief from chronic pain, chiropractic adjustments can also help improve mobility and overall function. By realigning the spine, chiropractors help increase the range of motion and reduce stiffness. Our treatment is particularly helpful for athletes and other highly-active individuals.
Is It Safe?
Because our team consists of licensed chiropractors, the service we provide is considered safe. As with any healthcare modality, some risks are involved, although these risks are generally low. Most people who undergo chiropractic care experience few or no side effects. Some patients may feel soreness or stiffness after an adjustment.
