Chiropractic Adjustments and Spinal Health
The term “adjustments” is a common one when discussing or researching chiropractic care. In fact, many people are unaware that chiropractors do anything else. While they do provide various other treatment types, adjustments are still at the core. Learn the importance of chiropractic adjustments and how they can impact your life in the guide below from Dr. Guiliano and his team at Dr. G’s Gonstead Chiropractic Clinic in Glendale, CA.
Spinal Health
Did you know that your spine is responsible for more than keeping you upright? While this is an important job, the spinal column is critical in other respects. It hosts the spinal cord, which houses nerves that control various voluntary and involuntary functions of the body. The spinal column protects the spinal cord so that the nerves can do their jobs and keep the body healthy.
Unfortunately, this also means that if a bone in the spinal column becomes misaligned, it can have a negative impact on your health and wellness. For example, a misalignment often causes too much pressure on a spinal disc, which develops a tear. The inner filling of the disc is then able to escape and spill onto surrounding nerves. This compression can lead to various types of pain and improper nerve function.
In addition to impacting the nerves, a misalignment can cause excess strain and pressure on the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other soft tissues. All of this can lead to pain, tension, and more.
How Adjustments Help
Adjustments are a method in which the chiropractor realigns the bones of the spinal column. As a Gonstead chiropractor, Dr. Giuliano uses motion palpitation, x-rays, and a nervoscope to precisely identify the locations of subluxations before performing adjustments.
Restoring alignment to the spine through adjustments relieves undue pressure on the spinal components. This leads to:
- Natural neck and back pain relief
- Tension relief
- Improved blood flow
- Improved nerve function
- Better range of motion and more
Adjustments are often combined with soft tissue treatments, therapeutic exercise, lifestyle adjustments, and other chiropractic techniques to achieve optimal results.
