The Ins and Outs of Chiropractic Adjustment
You’ll often hear of chiropractic adjustments referred to as spinal manipulation. In this form of hands-on care, chiropractors move various bodily tissues, including the spine and muscles in your back, to return them to their healthy positions. But while chiropractic adjustments originally focused specifically on the spine, it’s also possible to adjust tissues and joints in your extremities.
The spine is often a focus for chiropractors like Dr. Russo because the back is the foundation of your body. Issues with the spine in your back and neck can cause tension headaches, numbness in the legs, and of course, back pain, among other things. For example, let’s say you suffer a slip and fall, which ends up knocking your spine out of proper alignment. At first, you may only experience back pain, but as time goes on, you may find that headaches and jaw pain are becoming more common. Why? Issues with the spine could cause cervicogenic headaches and misaligned vertebrae can overstretch back muscles, which will pull on the body parts those muscles connect to.
By adjusting the spine, it may thus be possible to resolve not only back pain, but also headaches, jaw pain, and aches elsewhere. Adjustments are great for addressing sciatica, for example, which may be felt as pain or numbness in the legs. The key word here, by the way, is “resolve.” Pain medication and other treatments often simply mask pain rather than addressing underlying issues. This means the relief provided typically proves temporary.
Care Customized to You
There are many different techniques when it comes to chiropractic adjustments. How much force and where the force is applied can vary substantially. Dr. Russo always works closely with her clients to identify the root causes of their pains and their preferences when it comes to treatment. Ultimately, this can help ensure comfort and lasting healing.
