Guide to Chiropractic Adjustments
Of the many available options for pain relief and health, chiropractic adjustments are some of the most effective. And as a bonus, they are completely natural. In the guide below, Dr. Kellins and the team at Forest Creek Chiropractic in Round Rock, TX, provide insight into adjustments and answer some of the most common questions.
The Basics of Adjustments
Your spinal column consists of more than 30 bones that normally stack neatly on top of each other. Unfortunately, various habits, movements, and incidents like car accidents can interfere with this neat stack, which can be a problem.
Surrounding these bones are various muscles, discs, nerves, and other soft tissues. When alignment is messed up, it can put unnecessary pressure on these surrounding components. And this pressure can lead to pain, tingling, weakness, and more. Adjustments are a natural method of addressing this.
Imagine your spinal column as a stack of plates. If any one of those plates is not stacked neatly, the whole stack can topple over. However, if you push the misaligned plate back in, it stabilizes the entire stack. An adjustment is the process of restoring alignment to the bones of the spinal column, much like restoring stability to the plates.
Are Adjustments Just for Back and Neck Pain Relief?
Misalignments can cause a great deal of neck and back pain, but they do much more than that. They can impact blood flow and nerve function. They can cause headaches, difficulty focusing, poor quality sleep, and more. Adjustments can treat all of these issues and the various others that a misalignment can lead to.
Additionally, a misalignment can occur throughout the body, including the extremities. Adjustments help restore alignment to the whole musculoskeletal system.
Why Are Adjustments So Effective?
Whether it’s pain, ongoing health conditions, a lack of energy, or something else, a misalignment is often the source of the problem. Unfortunately, most healthcare providers rely on medication, which simply masks the symptoms. Adjustments are effective as they get to the root of your symptoms and eradicate it. Without the root, the symptoms no longer have a reason to be present.
