How Does Spinal Adjustment Work?
There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of correcting spinal vertebral subluxations.
When vertebrae shift out of place, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper alignment and flow, our nerves, our immune system, and our minds cannot function at their highest peak. These malformations called subluxations cause altered and decreased nerve function.
Overall, spinal adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level and help minimize discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it is better able to respond and perform as it was built to do.
