What does the word “Chiropractic” mean?
What are Adjustments and Manipulation?
Spinal Manipulation is a technique in which a Chiropractor treats neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions by applying a force to the joint directly. The idea is that when there is an injury affecting the joint or surrounding muscles, there are physical and chemical changes that result in inflammation, pain, and decrease in patients function. Treating the dysfunctional areas of the spine can restore the spine’s structural integrity. Manipulation of the affected joint as well as tissues will lead to a restoration of mobility, which thereby will alleviate the patient’s pain and muscle tightness letting them heal quicker.
