Benefits of chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment is a technique that involves applying high velocity low amplitude(HLVA), controlled force to a joint to restore its proper position, thereby restoring the optimum function and range of motion. Chiropractic adjustment is beneficial and regarded as the best solution to treat musculoskeletal conditions, such as back pain, neck pain, headaches, and joint pain. Chiropractic adjustments are performed by licensed chiropractors, who are trained to diagnose and treat conditions related to the spine, muscles, and nervous system.
How chiropractic adjustment works
Chiropractic adjustment works by adjusting the spine segmentally in a very specific manner including other joints to help improve their alignment and mobility. Chiropractors use their hands with the help of specialised instruments to locate subluxation(misaligned bone) and restore it with controlled and specific force, which can cause some cracking or popping sound. This sound is not indicative of any damage, but rather the release of gas from the joint. The adjustment is painless and can provide immediate relief from pain and discomfort.
Benefits of chiropractic adjustment
Chiropractic adjustment can provide several benefits, including:
Pain relief
Chiropractic adjustments are an effective way to relieve muscle and joint pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and joints.
Improved range of motion
By restoring proper alignment and mobility, Chiropractic adjustments can improve the range of motion in affected areas.
Reduced inflammation
Chiropractic adjustments help restore our bone’s to an optimal position. This can effectively help to reduce inflammation by taking away pressure from the damaged joint, which can contribute to pain and stiffness.
Better posture
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve posture by correcting misalignments in the spine, particularly the pelvis which is the major cause of excessive and or reduced kyphotic and lordotic curves in our spine.
Improved athletic performance
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve athletic performance by reducing discomfort and restore the loss of motion from any previous injury. That being said, the main benefit of Chiropractic care is reducing nerve pressure from the spine and allow better muscle contraction and better nerve conduction.
Reduce Headache
Chiropractic adjustments can help to effectively relieve tension headaches and migraines by reducing nerve pressure at the vertebrae, especially in the neck and shoulders.
Improved sleep
Chiropractic adjustments can help improve sleep by reducing irritation to the spine and stimulates parasympathetic nerves, thus help with better sleep pain and tension in the body.
Faster recovery from injuries
Chiropractic adjustments can help speed up the recovery process from injuries by improving blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Drug-free pain management
Chiropractic adjustments are a drug-free alternative to pain management, which can be especially beneficial for people who are unable to take medication due to allergies or other medical conditions.
