Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic Adjustments 

Chiropractic adjustments, also known as manual spinal manipulations or spinal manipulative therapy (SMT), are a primary treatment technique used by chiropractors to address musculoskeletal issues, particularly those related to the spine. During a chiropractic adjustment, we apply a high velocity, low amplitude (HVLA) thrust to a specific joint in the spine or other areas of the body with the goal of restoring proper alignment, mobility, and function.

When a joint becomes restricted in its movement or misaligned, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and dysfunction. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore normal joint mobility by helping to break up adhesions, release tension, and improve movement. By realigning the spine and reducing pressure on nerves, chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain associated with various musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

The spine plays a crucial role in protecting the spinal cord and facilitating communication between the brain and the rest of the body through the nervous system. Misalignments or restrictions in the spine can interfere with nervous system function, potentially leading to a range of health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to optimize nervous system function by removing interference caused by spinal misalignments.

Chiropractic adjustments are very safe when performed by a licensed and trained chiropractor. However, they may not be suitable for everyone, particularly individuals with certain underlying medical conditions or risk factors.

At Binger Chiropractic we tailor our treatment approach to the individual needs and preferences of each patient, considering their health history, symptoms, and goals to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
