A chiropractic adjustment is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain.

A chiropractic adjustment relieves pressure on joints, reduces inflammation, and improves nerve function. It has been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, chiropractic adjustments are used to treat conditions such as back pain, neck pain and headaches.

How Does A Chiropractic Adjustment Work?

There are well over 100 types of adjustment techniques used by chiropractors throughout the world. Some practitioners may use force and twisting, while other techniques are more gentle. Regardless of how they are performed, these techniques are intended to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing pain and resolving joint inflammation.

When vertebrae aren't moving properly, there is an overall systemic response from the muscular system to the central nervous system. Without proper movement and flow, our nerves, our immune system, and our minds cannot function at their highest peak.

Overall, spinal adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning at its highest level without any discomfort. When the body is adequately aligned, it becomes able to respond and perform as it was built to do.
