Chiropractic Manipulation Helps Spinal Subluxation and Related Pain

When the vertebrae in the spinal column misalign, the weight-bearing mechanisms are unable to perform their tasks properly; this misalignment can present various pain symptoms and health problems.

This misalignment is known as spinal or vertebral subluxation, and it is a partial dislocation of the vertebrae.

This partial dislocation impedes the ability of the proper movement of the spinal joints, and is often very painful to move with proper form, and compensation with improper form may occur.

This impediment to normal motion can often result in muscle pain, as there is improper posturing to compensate for back pain.

The reduction in spinal mobility often experienced by those with vertebral subluxation may also be accompanied with back muscle spasms, muscle tightness, back weakness and back pain.

Joint pain at the site of subluxation is common, associated tenderness and stiffness can occur as well, as improper alignment causes inflammation.

The treatment of vertebral subluxation, will depend on the location and degree of the injury, but often includes chiropractic manipulation, and manual manipulation.

This allows for the realignment of the spinal column, releasing pressure and correcting the vertebral position to the proper articulation point.

Support and Realignment: Your Weapons Against Pain

When the body is being supported by the correct weight-bearing mechanisms there is less pain, less inflammation, and the ability for proper movement and extension; when the body is being supported by areas not meant to carry our body weight, we end up with pressure points of pain, inflammation and injury.

Realignment allows for the proper support system function, for the discs to sit where they are most comfortable and absorb impact as intended, and nerves to remain un-impinged.

When the support system is functioning as intended, the muscular, skeletal and nervous system receive the least amount of stress from daily activities, and are less prone to pain and injury.

Dr. Josh and his team are highly trained in chiropractic manipulations to correct and adjust spinal subluxation – allowing the spine to move correctly without pain.

Schedule your Assessment with Dr. Josh

Chiropractic care for back pain includes spinal manipulations, orthopedic assessments and adjustments, and manual therapy.

You’ll see why Dr. Josh is the top chiropractor in Downers Grove after your first adjustment, when the pain and pressure releases and you experience proper spinal alignment.

Chiropractic, or spinal manipulation, treats joint misalignment and spinal subluxation, relieving the tension and pressure from the incorrect positioning of bones and joints.

This realignment allows for the proper articulation between the joints, increasing flexibility and stability in the spine.

After a spinal manipulation, pain and inflammation are also decreased as balance and flexibility return.

In combination with orthopedic and manual therapy, chiropractic manipulation procedures offer non-invasive and non-surgical options for pain relief. Dr. Josh and his team will compile the perfect treatment plan for your back pain, schedule your appointment with Core 1 Chiropractic now.
