Chiropractic Adjustment
An Adaptable Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments are performed by a chiropractor as a treatment to relieve back pain, headaches, sciatica, and joint pain.
Chiropractic adjustments are also instrumental in diagnosing musculoskeletal disorders and alleviating their effects on the nervous system.
This therapeutic treatment consists of multiple adjustment techniques, selected and combined to individually assess injuries, alleviate stress on the spine, and relieve back and joint pain.
These adjustment techniques range from emphasis on various joints, soft-tissue manipulation and spinal adjustments.
Hands-On Healing
During these hands-on procedures, Dr. Josh will adjust the position of the patient, articulating and producing movement in joints, in a manner that will reduce pain and decrease stiffness.
This allows for the release of pressure, greater flexibility, and increased spinal strength.
By adjusting the lower back and pelvis area, the patient will experience less pain, and increased mobility.
This guided alignment aides in flexibility, allowing the joints to stretch and increase their reach – after multiple procedures, patients will notice an increase in their attainable stretch radius and a decrease in their stored tension and pain.
Spinal Adjustment for Deep Relief
Spinal adjustments are a gentle technique undertaken to correct spinal adhesions or neural tensions caused from vertebral subluxations, lower back pain, and migraines.
Vertebral subluxation may result in nerve interference, which often results in pain or muscle tension in the area of the subluxation.
The process of adjustment is comfortable and gentle, administered with a slight pressured thump of a hand or chiropractic tool.
The spinal adjustment is done through a series of surface adjustments, pressure, and massage to adjust the spine and creating movement, relieving pressure on the inter-vertebral discs, nerves and musculoskeletal system.
Without the proper structural alignment, the core of the body cannot support itself properly thus spinal adjustments allow for the most effective structural positioning, allowing for the natural supportive function of the spine, resulting in less pain.
Decompression
Decompression is another technique also used to combat subluxation, although this technique is done using a specialized adjusting table.
Decompression is a prescribed treatment for bulging or herniated discs, spinal conditions such as scoliosis, and facet joint pain.
By decompressing the discs in the spinal column, the pressure on the nervous system is reduced, and the resulting experience evokes a stretching sensation for the patient.
This method results in an elongation of the joints, decompression of stored spinal pressure decreasing nerve interference, thus lessening pain.
Adjustments via adjusting tables may also utilize a slight drop or vibration to aid in the manipulation, allowing for a quick and painless alignment.
The Satisfaction of Biomechanical Feedback
Dr. Josh is a highly trained specialist when it comes to chiropractic adjustments, and with hands-on techniques, he is precise and meticulous in his movements.
The benefits of the chiropractic adjustment can eliminate nerve interference within a joint thus improving information of a given joint or muscle movement to the brain. Depending on the ailment this can either improve pain or overall movement patterns.
