Treating and Managing with Chiropractic Adjustments

Harness the Power of Chiropractic Adjustments: Addressing a Range of Conditions

Chiropractic adjustments effectively target your musculoskeletal system, providing personalized care for a wide range of conditions. Whether you seek relief for:

Arthritis

Frequent headaches

Healing after an accident or whiplash

Joint pain and dysfunction

Lower back, neck, sicatica pain

What happens before a chiropractic adjustment?

During your initial appointment, your chiropractor will have a detailed conversation about your medical background and conduct a physical examination. If necessary, they may recommend diagnostic imaging tests to gain deeper insights into your musculoskeletal system, which may include:

01

X-Ray

An X-ray is an imaging study that takes pictures of bones and soft tissues. X-rays use safe amounts of radiation to create these pictures. The images help healthcare providers diagnose a wide range of conditions and plan treatments. Usually, providers use X-rays to evaluate broken bones, dislocated joints and other bone injuries.

02

CT (Computed Tomography) Scan

Medical professionals use computed tomography, also known as CT scan, to examine structures inside your body. A CT scan uses X-rays and computers to produce images of a cross-section of your body. It takes pictures that show very thin “slices” of your bones, muscles, organs and blood vessels so that healthcare providers can see your body in great detail

03

MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is a test that creates clear images of the structures inside your body using a large magnet, radio waves and a computer. Healthcare providers use MRIs to evaluate, diagnose and monitor several different medical conditions.

Know Before You Go

What happens during a chiropractic adjustment?

During a chiropractic adjustment, your chiropractor will provide personalized treatment tailored to your unique needs. You'll be positioned face down on a specialized chiropractic table, allowing targeted segments of your body to elevate slightly, facilitating precise pressure application.

Using their hands or small instruments, your chiropractor will apply a swift and controlled force, exerting the right amount of pressure to a specific joint. Alternatively, they may gently stretch your joints beyond their usual range of motion. This process helps realign any misaligned vertebrae in your spine and release trapped gases within your joints, promoting overall alignment and mobility.

Does a chiropractic adjustment hurt?

Rest assured, chiropractic adjustments typically involve minimal to no pain, comparable to post-workout sensations. Severe pain is unlikely during a chiropractic adjustment. Your chiropractor will administer a controlled level of force, applying gentle pressure to your joints, resulting in a cracking or popping sound as gas is released from within. Despite the audible nature, the process itself is not painful.

What happens after a chiropractic adjustment?

Following a chiropractic adjustment, you may experience slight soreness or minor aches in the treated areas of your body. Rest assured, these sensations typically dissipate within 24 hours and rarely impact individuals who regularly receive chiropractic care.
