Spinal adjustments and manipulations are foundational treatments of chiropractic medicine, where practitioners use either slow and passive or precise and aggressive techniques to alleviate pressure and correct misalignments within the musculoskeletal system. As a practical matter, most such misalignments occur in the back/spine. Unfortunately, the conventional wisdom has long sought to treat back pain with either invasive surgical procedures or pain medication. Chiropractic takes a different approach.

Though chiropractic care tends to focus on bones and joints in the back, chiropractic adjustments and manipulation techniques can be applied to other injured joints and ligaments to promote fast and complete healing from dislocations, sprains, and fractures. In addition to adjustments and manipulation, chiropractors may also use a technique known as spinal mobilization. This strategy employs a steady to slowly and accurately manipulate the spine into proper alignment and stability.

Regardless of your musculoskeletal ailment, a combination of chiropractic adjustments, manipulations and/or mobilization can be used to correct your condition at the source to provide sustainable relief from your pain and discomfort.

How Chiropractors Treat Back Pain and Other Disorders

Chiropractors have extensive education and training in biology, anatomy and physiology, helping them effectively understand the ways to recognize, diagnose and treat injuries to joints and the surrounding muscle tissue and tendons. A chiropractic treatment typically starts with a thorough and comprehensive diagnosis. Chiropractic care is extremely unique and caters to each patient and his/her specific injuries. Therefore, each adjustment, manipulation and mobilization session is closely monitored by the chiropractor to ensure the patient receives the best possible care. How the patient responds to each treatment will dictate each session and the overall treatment plan.

The Benefits of Chiropractic Adjustments

When performing a chiropractic adjustment, a chiropractor carefully diagnoses and identifies an injury and applies highly localized pressure. Our chiropractors will place you in the proper position and utilize chiropractic equipment to isolate specific joints, which will maximize the impact of the adjustment to release pressure and correct misalignments.

Using Physical Manipulation Treatments to Treat Pain and Improve Range of Motion

Chiropractors also use physical manipulation to help promote movement and range of motion in patients suffering from inflammation, stiffness or soreness as a result of lack of use or injury. Physical manipulation is a more general approach used to relieve overall tension and tightness. Used in tandem with adjustments, physical manipulation can help release inflammation and promote overall joint mobility as the adjustments correct joint alignment.

Manipulation treatments are administered by the chiropractor by hand and can be introduced in a massaging motion or in shorter bursts. The chiropractor carefully monitors how the patient and the joint respond to manipulation treatments to make any necessary changes to his/her approach.

Spinal Mobilization

Spinal mobilization is a chiropractic technique used to correct misalignments in the spine and release pressure. Due to the extreme sensitivity of the spinal cord and its role in the nervous system, any adjustments to the spine require cautious and carefully calculated treatment approaches. Spinal mobilization is a slow treatment method that is distributed across a series of multiple treatments. Over time, chiropractors incrementally adjust the spine using their hands and/or tools.
