Understanding Adjustments in Chiropractic Care
Although adjustments have been around for quite some time, many people are still unsure of them. While this is understandable, it also means that many people are missing out on the natural benefits that they provide. As Dr. Rocque and the team at Center of Gravity Chiropractic and Rehabilitation in Katy, TX, want everyone to live in their best health and get the care they need, they answer some of the top questions about chiropractic adjustments below.
Do Adjustments Actually Work?
In a day and time when medicine and invasive procedures are recommended for pain and other ailments, it’s easy to understand why many people question natural methods of healing. However, natural methods have been around for centuries and are still being used today, which says a great deal.
Adjustments focus on restoring proper alignment of the spine. If the spine isn’t properly aligned, the bones, muscles, discs, nerves, and other spinal components have to sustain undue stress, strain, and pressure. This is why so many people live with chronic pain and tension, as well as health conditions that are impacted by nerve function and blood flow.
To answer the question of whether adjustments work, the short answer is yes. They help set the spine back to its normal state, which allows it and its surrounding components to function as optimally.
What Types of Issues Can They Help With?
Spinal misalignment can cause a variety of issues, all of which adjustments can help treat and eliminate. These include but are not limited to:
- Headaches and migraines
- Chronic neck pain
- Chronic back pain
- Numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain in the extremities
- Sciatica
- Scoliosis
- Herniated discs and other disc issues
- Chronic tension and inflammation
- Impaired mobility and range of motion
- Posture issues
- Auto, work, and personal accident injuries
- Athletic performance and much more
Are They Painful?
Adjustments are intended to relieve your pain and suffering – not create more. The force applied is a very controlled amount, so there should be no pain at all. If you are feeling uncomfortable or uncertain, your chiropractor can offer even more gentle methods to suit your preferences.
