What Does An Adjustment Do?

Chiropractic care is a holistic approach to health that helps you avoid taking medication and, in some cases, surgery. The human body has the ability to heal itself when everything is working as it should. Chiropractic adjustment is a primary therapy used by our chiropractors at Ironwood Chiropractic Health & Wellness Centre in Richmond, BC. It is used to treat back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, auto accident injuries, and sport injuries.

What to Expect

Messages from the brain travel along nerves to all parts of the body. The journey takes them through the spine. In order for the impulses to get through efficiently, the spine must be in alignment. Many things can result in a spine being misaligned, and it doesn't need to be a serious accident. You will be examined to determine if part of the issue you are experiencing is a misalignment in your spine.

How a Misalignment Can Affect You

If you have a subluxation in your neck or back, it can cause headaches, back pain, muscle spasms, numbness, and affect your range of motion and quality of life. To be your best and healthiest self, you need to have a healthy spine that is in alignment.

Types of Spinal Adjustment

More than 100 different spinal adjustment techniques are available. Your chiropractor will undoubtedly know more than one. Some of them are manual, and others are instrument-assisted. Much like massage therapy, chiropractic adjustment can be very gentle when necessary or more vigorous if that is what is needed. The object is to make small movements of the vertebrae to get things back where they should be. The goal is to improve communication and, with it, the health of your entire body.
