Quick Guide to Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic care consists of many effective techniques that help the body heal, but adjustments will always be at the core. The concept and use of adjustments have been around for centuries, as they are so effective at improving health and providing relief from a wide range of issues. In this guide, Dr. Sniezek and the team at Advanced Integrative Rehabilitation and Pain Center of Washington, DC, and McLean, VA, explain what chiropractic adjustments are and why they are so important.
What’s the Deal With Alignment, Anyway?
Your body is an intricate machine that you move through your daily life and heal as needed. However, it can’t do either of these things if it’s not in the proper shape.
Spinal alignment is a foundational aspect of health and wellness. Proper alignment means that each of the vertebrae is stacked neatly. When a vertebra gets out of this alignment, it puts strain on the muscles, discs, nerves, and other spinal components. Unfortunately, this can lead to everything from back and neck pain to difficulty concentrating.
How Adjustments Help
Adjustments are a technique in which any vertebrae that has shifted out of place is returned to where it needs to be. This takes pressure off of the surrounding components, which provides the following benefits and more.
- Relief from back and neck pain
- Headache relief
- Improved joint function
- Increased circulation
- Increased range of motion
- Better sleep
- Better nerve function
While adjustments are most well-known for the neck and spine, they are available for the entire skeletal system. They are often used to relieve shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee, and ankle pain, as well.
Adjustments are also a critical component in treating sports and auto injuries. Additionally, regular adjustments can help prevent pain, as well as maintain general health and wellness.
