Chiropractic Adjustment

The key to chiropractic care is the examination and the spinal adjustment.  The goal of the chiropractic adjustment is to correct the spinal subluxations detected during the examination. To do that, the doctor applies pressure to the bone and "unlocks" it from its improper position. The bone will then be free to align itself correctly. Our bodies ability to fix itself is amazing but sometimes we perfect imperfections that lead to bigger problems. The role of the chiropractor is to reduce pain and free up the vertebrae. Then, the body can do its job and put them back in the correct position. Muscles connected to subluxated vertebrae get used to their positions and have a tendency to pull the bone back out of place. The combination of rehabilitative exercises given during treatment and as at home self care allows for a faster and better recovery. This may take several adjustments and time to correct muscular imbalances that have been set in for years before the adjustment "holds," and the bone settles into its proper alignment.
