The
Purpose of Chiropractic Adjustments
Any time you visit a healthcare provider, and
they want to administer some sort of treatment, you wonder what the treatment
is for and what exactly it will do. It’s no different when you visit a
chiropractor who recommends adjustments. Below, Dr. McClanahan and the team at
Dr. J Chiropractic & Wellness Center of Nitro, WV, explain chiropractic
adjustments, their purpose, and how you can benefit.
What Are
Adjustments For?
To put it simply, adjustments are used to
restore alignment to the musculoskeletal system. This short answer, however,
leaves one wondering why alignment is so important.
Your body wasn’t haphazardly thrown together.
Your bones are stacked on top of one another to help your body stay upright.
Between them sits discs that cushion your bones. Muscles, ligaments, and
tendons surround them to provide support and help you move. And nerves travel
out to the rest of the body from the spinal cord to ensure your body does its
various jobs.
As the bones are in the midst of this intricate
structure, any misalignment can throw the entire system off balance. A
misaligned bone puts unnecessary stress, strain, and pressure on the
surrounding discs, nerves, muscles, and other soft tissues.
Unfortunately, this can lead to pain, muscle
tension, numbness, weakness, burning sensations, impaired nerve function, and
more. Adjustments are a technique used to restore proper alignment, eliminating
undue pressure, strain, and related symptoms.
Benefits
of Adjustments
A misalignment can lead to many types of
symptoms – some of which are mild while others can be debilitating. And they
can vary among the people experiencing them, which means the benefits of
restoring alignment can vary, too. However, some common benefits include relief
from:
- Back
pain
- Neck
pain
- Headaches
and migraines
- Joint
pain
- Sciatica
- Shoulder
pain
- Knee
pain
- Fibromyalgia
- Limited
range of motion
Adjustments also help improve nerve function
and blood flow, which can have a direct impact on your general health and wellness.
