Chiropractic care is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health. Chiropractic services are used most often to treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches.

How Can Chiropractic Care & Chiropractic Adjustment Help You?
Approximately 22 million Americans visit a chiropractor each year. While some may think you need to be in pain or suffering from a particular condition to benefit from chiropractic care, being proactive in maintaining a healthy spine for preventative measures can be even more valuable to your lifestyle.
When your mobility becomes reduced due to pain, your pain and pressure on the affected area can become more severe – causing a vicious cycle of increased pain and decreased mobility.
Chiropractic care can help reverse this. Chiropractic adjustments help to increase mobility in the affected area, thus reducing pain and enabling a greater range of motion.
Most of us think of spinal manipulation only when it comes to chiropractic care – and that is, in fact, often a key part of chiropractic treatment. Precise adjustments made by qualified professionals work to align vertebrae while providing a greater range of motion. These precisely applied adjustments also adjust the nerves themselves, making the pressure on the nerves much less severe.
In addition to any spine and extremity manipulation, your chiropractor may also choose to perform complementary techniques based on your condition and individual needs:
- Mobilization. This occurs when the practitioner strategically moves the affected area in various positions in order to reposition vertebrae or extremity joints, reducing any adhesions for improved mobility.
- Manual traction. This occurs when the patient sits on the table or lies down on the table facing up. The chiropractor gently stretches the affected area in a specific direction to relieve pressure on a painful joint or nerve.
- Mechanical traction. The Flexion-Distraction technique involves using a specialized table that gently distracts or stretches the spine while allowing the doctor to isolate the spinal area of involvement while slightly flexing the spine in a gentle “pumping” rhythm. Treatment sessions are brief and comfortable. They may be a suitable option for those with high levels of pain or acute back injury who cannot tolerate other techniques.
