How Does a Spinal Adjustment from my Chiropractor Work?
Your chiropractor uses an adjustment (or series of adjustments) to restore correct spinal alignment. Your nervous system (consisting of your brain, spinal cord and nerves) directs your body’s function and development from the beginning. The spinal cord runs through the spine, with nerves branching out across the body from between the vertebrae.
Any vertebral misalignment (subluxation) can pinch nerves, preventing them from communicating properly—inevitably leading to pain and dysfunction in areas controlled by those nerves. Subluxations can develop over time from poor posture and ergonomics, or they can occur during a sudden injury. Either way, subluxations must be corrected to restore proper nervous system function.
After carefully diagnosing your condition and the exact location of any subluxations, Irvine chiropractor Dr. Lee uses a variety of hands-on thrust techniques on your spine, nudging vertebrae back into correct alignment, and releasing pinched nerves so they can communicate correctly.
Irvine Chiropractic Care Adjustment for Optimum Wellness
Depending on your situation, your chiropractor may recommend a series of adjustment appointments until your spine is aligned and you get pain relief and injury recovery. Many patients discover, however, that a regular wellness adjustment keeps them healthier long-term. Studies on chiropractic care show that a properly aligned spine can:
- Boost the immune system (fewer colds and infections)
- Improve sleep and lower stress levels
- Alleviate high blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health
- Enhance focus and energy levels
- Prevent disc injury by maintaining correct posture
- Lessen allergy and asthma symptoms
Even if you aren’t struggling with pain or injury, a regular chiropractic adjustment can give you the wellness edge you need to maintain an active lifestyle and chase your goals.
