When the 24 bones that protect the spinal cord lose their normal
position or motion, delicate nerve tissue can become choked or
irritated. If a thorough examination reveals malfunctioning areas of
the spine, chiropractic adjustments are recommended to help correct this
situation.
A chiropractic adjustment is the use of a specific
force in a precise direction, applied to a joint that is fixated, or not
moving properly. Adjustments help return bones to a more normal
position or motion, relieving pain.
There are many ways to adjust
the spine. Usually our doctor's hands or a specially designed
instrument delivers a brief and highly accurate thrust. After years of
training, each doctor has selected a variety of methods and becomes
skilled in their delivery. Regardless of the technique used, each
chiropractic adjustment is tailored to the patient's age, size, and
unique spinal problem.
Adjustments help normalize spinal function
and avoid bone and soft tissue degeneration. When nervous system
function improves in this way, the body can begin the natural healing
process.
