Adjustments and Manipulation

Unfortunately, many tens of millions of Americans suffer from chronic pain. Often, pain is the result of issues with the back, including a misaligned spinal column. In many ways, the spine acts as a foundation for the entire body. As such, misalignment can result in pain in the limbs, tension headaches, and various other problems.

Often, just a few sessions of hands-on chiropractic adjustments can deliver pain relief. If you or your loved one are suffering from chronic pain, it’s smart to schedule an appointment with a chiropractor. Let’s take a closer look at chiropractic adjustments and how they can result in pain relief.

Here's How Chiropractic Adjustments Work

Chiropractic spinal adjustments are also known as spinal manipulations. As this latter name implies, the focus is on the spinal cord. If you’ve been in a car accident, suffered a slip and fall, or have experienced a sports injury, it’s possible that your spinal column is no longer properly aligned. Other things, like sleeping on a mattress that doesn’t provide enough ergonomic support, can also cause the spinal cord to become inappropriately shaped.

It’s easy to underestimate how far-ranging issues caused by an incorrectly aligned spine can be. For example, if your spine is misaligned, it could cause strain on the muscles in your neck. In turn, this could create tension in the muscles in your face, leading to jaw pain and tension headaches.

With gentle, hands-on manipulation, it’s often possible to correct the alignment of the spinal cord. Many muscles and other tissues can become strained by a misshapen spine. By correcting the shape, it’s often possible to relieve muscle tension.

Crucially, chiropractic adjustments can provide lasting pain relief by resolving underlying issues. This means that patients won’t have to depend on pain medications, which often only cover up aches. Medications often lose effectiveness over time, and in some cases, can be addictive.

Other Chiropractic Treatments for Pain Relief

Chiropractic adjustments are one of the most important treatment methods a chiropractor can leverage. However, soft tissue therapy, corrective exercises (which can typically be performed at home), and selecting furniture that offers better support, can also provide pain relief. Advanced treatment methods, like acupuncture and cold laser therapy, can also provide immediate relief and long-term healing.
