The findings of these examinations are explained on the second visit and a plan of Chiropractic adjustments may be recommended. Patients who are in severe pain or were injured may also receive some physical therapy during the initial part of their care. After the adjustments, many patients report a sense of well-being or a feeling of calmness. Others feel improved mobility. Inflammation or muscle spasms may delay these positive effects.
Chiropractors excel at making adjustments comfortable and effective.
A fall, injury, sudden jar, trauma, or sometimes an inherited spinal weakness can displace a vertebra. Other causes include improper sleeping conditions or habits, poor posture, occupational hazards, incorrect lifting practices, obesity, lack of rest and exercise, and stress. Chiropractors are specialists in Neuro musculoskeletal conditions. They are trained to restore the misaligned vertebrae to their proper position in the spinal column. Your chiropractor, in most cases, will use his or her hands in applying corrective pressure to the spine in a specific direction and location.
