Chiropractic Adjustments FAQ

Learn about Chiropractic Adjustments Below

This section of our Irvine chiropractor’s FAQ explains what a chiropractic adjustment is and how it can promote natural pain relief, injury treatment and enhance your optimum wellness.

Chiropractic Care Provides Natural Treatment Options for Relief

Many assume chiropractic care only treats back pain, neck pain and auto injuries—but a regular spinal adjustment can do much more. The spinal cord carries nerves that control every organ, muscle, joint and function in your body. Even if you currently feel no pain, a small subluxation could be impacting everything from your blood pressure and ability to concentrate, to headaches and foot pain like plantar fasciitis.

People Ask These Common Questions about Chiropractic Adjustments
Why Do I Need a Chiropractic Adjustment?
If you have a spinal subluxation—a misalignment between spinal vertebrae—your nervous system cannot properly convey messages between your brain and the nerves communicating with the rest of your body. Subluxations pinch nerves, which can cause pain, dysfunction and ill health. Our chiropractors use hands-on pressure to move vertebrae back into correct position. These adjustments provide pain relief, natural injury treatment and more wellness options to improve your lifestyle.
How Does a Chiropractic Adjustment Work?
Before our chiropractor can perform an effective spinal adjustment, he needs to diagnose the location of the subluxation in your spine, and the health problems it’s causing. They use various diagnostic tests, including x-rays, to pinpoint subluxations. Our chiropractor then uses precise manual thrusts (while you’re lying down, standing or even sitting in different positions) to nudge your vertebrae into correct position.
