The Chiropractic Adjustment
Manual Chiropractic care provides a hands-on, effective approach to restore alignment, improve mobility, and relieve pain throughout the spine and extremities. These adjustments use precise, controlled movements—often accompanied by the familiar “popping” or “releasing” sound—to correct joint restrictions and enhance overall function.
Each adjustment is tailored to your individual needs, addressing areas of tension, imbalance, or limited motion. By restoring proper joint alignment and motion, manual chiropractic care helps reduce muscle tightness, improve posture, and support the body’s natural healing process, promoting long-term spinal health.
Benefits of an Adjustment
Understanding Care Plans
After the initial consultation, health assessment, and diagnostic imaging (when needed), a personalized treatment plan is crafted to address the patient’s unique spinal needs and health goals. This plan is the foundation for restoring balance, correcting misalignments, and achieving lasting wellness.
The chiropractor begins by analyzing findings from the exam, imaging, and health history to identify the root cause of symptoms—especially within the upper cervical spine. From there, precise, individualized adjustments are recommended based on the patient’s spinal structure and condition. The plan outlines how often visits should occur, typically starting with more frequent care and tapering as progress is made.
So what's the problem?
-
• Central Nervous System (CNS): Brain and spinal cord, responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information.
• Peripheral Nervous System (PNS): Nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body, including muscles, organs, and skin.
-
• Neurons: How nerve cells transmit electrical signals (action potentials) to communicate within the body.
• Sensory Input & Motor Output: The nervous system receives sensory information and sends motor commands to muscles and organs.
• Reflexes and Voluntary Control: How the nervous system manages automatic (reflexes) and conscious (voluntary) movements.
-
• Sympathetic Nervous System: “Fight or flight” response, preparing the body for action.
• Parasympathetic Nervous System: “Rest and digest” response, calming the body and promoting maintenance activities.
• Homeostasis: How the ANS maintains balance in bodily functions like heart rate, digestion, and temperature regulation.
-
• Nervous System and Organ Function: How the nervous system regulates the heart, lungs, digestive system, and other organs.
• Spinal Nerve Interference: The impact of spinal misalignments (subluxations) on nerve function, leading to dysfunction or disease.
• Chiropractic and Nervous System Health: How chiropractic adjustments help restore proper nerve function by correcting misalignments.
• Body’s Self-Healing Ability: The nervous system’s role in detecting and responding to injury or illness.• Neuroplasticity: The brain and nervous system’s ability to adapt, rewire, and heal through proper stimulation and alignment.
