Bone spurs are the body's attempt to fuse malfunctioning spinal joints which have been left untreated. Degenerative processes, long-term nerve dysfunction, and fibrosis can cause other systems of the body to malfunction as well. It is in this respect that the structural integrity of the frame affects the functioning and health of the body. Following review of your history and completion of an examination, your chiropractor will determine a treatment program, including chiropractic adjustments, designed to restore your state of health. A chiropractic adjustment is a specific and gentle force applied in a precise direction to restore proper motion to a subluxated vertebra.
Adjustments help to relieve pain and restore health.
Although there are many different ways to adjust the spine, adjustments are usually applied by hand. Chiropractors have received extensive training to perform a variety of methods and are most skilled in their delivery. Regardless of the technique which may be utilized, every adjustment is modified to consider the patient's age, size and unique spinal problem. Following adjustments, most patients report a sense of relief or well being. Chiropractic adjustments are safe.
