Chiropractic Adjustment
One of the most common and well known therapeutic procedures performed by doctors of chiropractic is spinal manipulation (sometimes referred to as a “chiropractic adjustment”). The purpose of spinal manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypo-mobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, allowing tissues to heal.
Therapeutic Exercises
Therapeutic stretches and exercises are forms of rehabilitation used to strengthen the musculature in the human body and increase overall range of motion. By strengthening the muscles surrounding the spine, you can shorten recovery and decrease your chances of repeat injuries.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy may be used as a non-surgical method of relieving upper, mid, lower and neck pain. A motorized traction device works by gently stretching the spine using specific computer generated commands. The spine is made up of dozens of bones and cushioned by discs called intervertebral discs. The relief comes from pressure being relieved from the gel-like pads between the discs. The pressure relieved can relieve nerves that have been trapped. The main benefit may come from allowing nutrient rich fluids, water and oxygen to enter the area to begin the healing process.
