Adjustments or manipulation as they’re sometimes referred to, are the minor movement of vertebrae in the spine. When these vertebrae are out of place, it has an overall systemic effect from muscular to the central nervous system. At Bruceton Wellness Center, adjustments and manipulation services are administered to keep the body functioning at its highest level.
People usually seek chiropractic adjustment when experiencing low back pain, neck pain, and headaches. During a chiropractic adjustment, one of our chiropractors at Bruceton Wellness Center will place the patient in specific positions to treat affected areas. Often, the patient is positioned lying face down on a specifically designed, padded chiropractic table. The chiropractor then uses his or her hands to apply a controlled, sudden force to a joint, pushing it beyond its normal range of motion. The objective of this chiropractic treatment is to reduce the partial dislocation, with the goals of increasing range of motion, reducing nerve irritability and improving function.
The objective of this movement is to realign vertebrae that have moved out of place for a number of reasons ranging from normal daily activity to trauma such as a car accident. Not everyone responds to chiropractic adjustments, so it is suggested that you arrange a consultation at Bruceton Wellness Center for an evaluation to see which treatment best fits your needs.
