One of the most common
organs in the body which chiro-practitioners help regain normal function is the
spine. The spine is made of many bones, ligaments, tendons and muscles. Inside
the spine run important nerves that carry both motor and sensory information to
the body. Anytime the spine position is altered, the nerves can be pinched or
compressed. Chiropractors can help remove this mechanical interference and
restore normal body health
What are “adjustments?”
An adjustment is manual
procedure performed by a chiropractor using precise but robust force in a
particular direction. The force is typically applied to a joint that is stuck "locked
up", or not moving appropriately in order to bring back joint mobility.
The adjustment increases joint mobility, restores nerve function and diminishes
pain.
How are the adjustments
performed?
The rationale of
adjustments is to permit the spine to mend with secure, safe and moderate joint
manipulation. The adjustment may be performed manually or with specially
designed instruments. Most adjustment techniques are quick, whereas other
procedures demand slow constant pressure. Spine adjustment is an exact process
generally done by the hand. When correctly performed, the joint regains its
mobility, muscle spasms are relieved and tension disappears.
