Guide to Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractors offer many different types of techniques, depending on their specialties and services. However, adjustments tend to be at the core of treatment for one very important reason: they effectively treat the root cause of pain. Learn more about how chiropractic adjustments work and how they can benefit you in the guide below from Dr. Koleti and the team at Atlanta Community Chiropractic in Forest Park, GA.
What Are Adjustments?
The bones and joints of the back and neck stack on top of one another with cushioned discs in between. Surrounding the bones and discs are nerves, muscles, tendons, and other components.
When the bones and discs are in their place, the spinal components can work properly. When the bones become misaligned, the discs and other components must endure unnecessary pressure, which causes pain and other unwanted symptoms.
Adjustments are a technique in which the chiropractor uses their hands or small instruments to restore alignment to the bones and joints. In doing so, they eliminate the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Common Conditions Adjustments Are Used to Treat
Adjustments are used in treatment plans for a wide range of symptoms and conditions, including but not limited to:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Headaches
- Muscle tension
- Arthritis
- Auto accidents, including whiplash
- Joint pain
- Sciatica
While it’s commonly known that adjustments treat issues in the neck and back, many people are unaware that issues in the back can lead to issues in other areas of the body. Likewise, issues in other areas of the body can lead to back pain.
For example, those who suffer from issues with one knee often walk more and put more pressure on their other knee. This can lead to a misalignment in the back.
On the other hand, a misalignment in the back can cause you to put more pressure on one leg, which can lead to joint pain in that knee. Therefore, while adjustments are used to treat pain in the neck and back, they can also correct issues and relieve pain in the rest of the body.
