Dealing with pain can often cause intense discomfort. Most people consider seeing a chiropractor when experiencing intolerable back and neck pain. There are several benefits to chiropractic care that go beyond pain relief. Regular visits to a chiropractor can improve your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.

What is a chiropractic adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment is when a trained chiropractor manually adjusts the vertebrae in your back. This type of procedure, also known as spinal manipulation, can be an effective treatment in avoiding invasive surgeries or other costly procedures. Through chiropractic adjustments, your body can function efficiently by allowing your body to heal itself from the inside out.

Techniques chiropractors may use:

• Joint manipulation – A chiropractor manipulates the joints and muscles around the head to relieve pain in the head and neck associated with migraine.  

​

• Massage therapy – A chiropractor uses massage therapy to help alleviate muscle pain, tension, and spasms that cause migraines. The chiropractor will use light pressure on the shoulders, neck, and back area.

 

• Traction therapy – Traction therapy is also used to help alleviate muscle pain, tension, and spasms that cause migraines. The chiropractor will use a table with two metal bars on either side of the patient’s spine for about 10 minutes per day for 3-4 days in a row.

Having regular adjustments may help avoid injuries from happening in the first place. Many people use chiropractic as a preventative approach, receiving regular maintenance even when not in pain.

What are the benefits of chiropractic adjustment?
Everyone seeks chiropractic care for different reasons. Chiropractic care is one of the best methods for overall pain management while producing other positive mental and physical effects.

Chiropractic care can help patients with a wide range of health problems like headaches, asthma, back and neck pain, fibromyalgia, and chronic lower back pain. Chiropractors are trained in various techniques that will help your body heal itself from the inside out.

The top benefits of chiropractic adjustments include:

• Headaches & Migraine Relief - Headaches and migraines are caused by several factors, including a misalignment in the neck or spine. Chiropractic treatments can help improve blood flow, increasing oxygen supply to the brain.

• Pinched Nerve Relief - Chiropractors thoroughly understand your nerves and joints, allowing them to relieve pain from tension and pressure points in your body without invasive procedures.

• Lower Back Pain Relief - Chronic back pain affects over 80% of the population and is the most common reason people seek chiropractic care. Chiropractic treatments can improve alignment, ease pain, and restore spinal or joint movement.

• Reduce Inflammation - Inflammation is a leading cause of pain, joint issues, and tension. Chronic inflammation has been linked to diseases like heart disease, chronic pain, and cancer.

• Maintain a Healthy Blood Pressure - Chiropractic adjustments may be a good option if blood pressure medications give you unfavorable side effects. A study published in the Journal of Human Hypertension revealed that chiropractic adjustments could lower blood pressure. Adjustments have been known to help people dealing with low blood pressure and two medications.

• Improve Athletic Performance - Many professional and college sports teams employ chiropractors to help keep their athletes in top shape. Reducing inflammation, pain, and other similar conditions helps boost performance and helps keep players competing on the field.

However, you don’t have to be a professional athlete to enjoy the benefits of chiropractic care. Your joints, connective tissue, and ligaments change and deteriorate as you age. Chiropractic can improve joint mobility while reducing your chances of suffering joint and cartilage deterioration later in life.
