Every function in your entire body is under the control of the nervous system and subluxations can interfere with this control, so chiropractic is often very helpful in correcting many other conditions. Only a chiropractic is qualified to determine if your condition can be helped by chiropractic method. Of course, if yours is not a chiropractic case, chiropractic will not help you and your chiropractic will tell you so and refer you to another specialist. But if yours is a chiropractic condition, nothing else is likely to ever really help you. Most spinal adjustments are not painful at all and, as a matter of fact, patients feel very good and often free pain almost immediately.
Adjustments are also very safe with no harmful or dangerous side effects.
To give an adjustment the chiropractor locates a vertebra, or any other bone, which has slipped from its normal position and is causing nerve pressure and irritation and carefully and skillfully moves that vertebra or back bone into its position. In most cases this is done by making contact in a very special manner, usually with the hands, directly over the affected vertebra or other bone, and making a gentle movement. You can be sure that the great benefits you will receive from chiropractic adjustments will more than offset any momentary discomfort you may experience. Chiropractic locates and corrects the nerve interference causing many health problems. Therefore, complete correction is usually permanent.
