Quick Guide to Chiropractic Adjustments
Most people want to live healthily and pain-free. Many try to achieve this through diet, exercise, and various other methods. While these are certainly important factors, they will not accomplish their full goal or potential if the body is out of alignment.
Think about a vehicle. You might keep the oil changed, keep fuel in it, and keep the tires pumped. However, if there is something wrong with the motor, the vehicle still will not work at its best. The same is true for the body – it can’t reach its full potential if the foundation is askew. Dr. Krieger and the team at Krieger Chiropractic in Williamsville, NY, explain in the guide below, along with how chiropractic adjustments help.
Understanding Your Spinal Column
Your spine consists of 33 vertebrae that stack on top of one another. Between them sits spongy cushions called spinal discs. In the spinal column are the spinal cord and nerves. The spinal column is also surrounded by muscles, tendons, and more.
Each of the spinal column components has an important job. The vertebrae hold you upright and help you move. The tendons and muscles support this movement while also supporting the bones. The discs help absorb shock and keep the bones from rubbing against one another. The nerves ensure that your body operates as your brain tells it to.
In order for these components to do their jobs properly, the bones have to remain stacked on top of one another. When they don’t, it can lead to stress on the bones and soft tissues, cause herniated discs and nerve compression, and more. And these issues lead to things like:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Lower Back pain
- Headaches
- Sciatica
- Nerve pain and compression
How Adjustments Help
Adjustments are a technique in which your chiropractor restores the proper placement and motion of your vertebra . When alignment is restored, issues like back pain, neck pain, and the other symptoms listed above are naturally relieved. They also help improve blood circulation, sleep, and much more.
In addition to the issues mentioned above, adjustments are also beneficial in treating:
- Whiplash
- Fibromyalgia
- Sports injuries
- Auto accident injuries
- Joint pain
- Muscle strains and more
Adjustments are highly effective as they get to the root of your issue. They also provide natural relief, as they empower the body to heal without the use of medication or invasive techniques.
