If you have never looked into the world of chiropractic spinal manipulation, you could be missing out on an important modality for helping you enjoy optimal health, wellness, comfort, and injury recovery. Chiropractic adjustments to the spinal column can ease pain, enhance joint motion, improve your posture, and help your nervous system function normally. That's why we're happy to offer this non-surgical healing modality at our chiropractic clinic.
The Purpose of Chiropractic Spinal Adjustment
The human spine consists of a complex arrangement of vertebrae, discs, joints, and the muscle groups that allow the spine to twist, turn, and bend. It also hosts the spinal cord, with major nerves running through the vertebral spaces to serve the rest of the body.
Unfortunately, many problems can afflict this delicate combination of moving and non-moving parts. Even the smallest joint imbalance can limit joint motion, causing neck, back, or other joint pain. Tissue swelling and dislodged or herniated discs can press against nerve roots, producing neurological pain, discomfort, or weakness in the extremities while also affecting your systemic health. An unbalanced spine may throw the rest of your body out of balance, leaving you with chronic aches and pains.
Chiropractic spinal adjustment can relieve these problems. Drs. Richard Garcia & Steve Scarfia use manual or instrument-assisted techniques that deliver small but focused force to spinal components, shifting them back into the most efficient position. Our doctors use Diversified technique, Thompson Drop, Cox Flexion/Distraction, long axis, anterior, and the Activator tool. By normalizing your spinal alignment, we can ease neurological symptoms, reduce muscular strain, and help your neck and back move more freely.
What to Expect From Your Adjustment Session
Chiropractic spinal manipulation can be performed safely on most individuals of all ages, including newborns (Our youngest patient was two weeks old!). An initial evaluation analyzes your spinal alignment, checking for any imbalances that may be producing your health challenges. The doctors at Minnesota ChiroWorks will ensure that you are a good candidate for chiropractic adjustment before proceeding. Repeated chiropractic adjustments help the body accept the changes in joint position, although you may feel substantial relief almost immediately.
Don't be alarmed if you hear a popping or cracking sound during your spinal adjustment. This harmless phenomenon occurs when trapped gases escape from within the joints.
If you're ready to boost your health, flexibility, balance, and everyday comfort, our chiropractic team is ready to help you achieve those goals. Contact our clinic at (763) 571-0239 to discuss the details of chiropractic spinal manipulation and schedule an initial appointment.
