What are the benefits of getting a chiropractic adjustment?

The chiropractic or manual adjustment is the foundation of chiropractic care. Falling, car accidents, being overweight and having poor posture can contribute to spinal misalignment’s.

Reduced Back Pain with Chiropractic Adjustments

When the vertebrae are misaligned, they can put pressure on the nerve roots, causing inflammation, stiffness and pain. Chiropractic adjustments push the vertebrae back into alignment. This decreases the pressure on the nerves, which reduces inflammation and pain. With several treatments, individuals are able to reduce their intake of pain medications and increase their activity levels. Some individuals even report a 100 percent reduction in pain.

Better Joint Function

Manual adjustments can be used on the extremity joints as well as the back. When the joints of the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, wrists and ankles are out of alignment, the range of motion and flexibility of the joint is impacted. Inflammation may also be present in the soft tissues of the joint. Realigning those joints improves their function and allows the brain to send better signals to the joint via the central nervous system.

Improved Immune System

Studies have shown that individuals who have received manual adjustments enjoy improved immune systems. They experience fewer colds, ear infections and viral infections. Some have even reported fewer allergy symptoms.
