Chiropractic Adjustment Defined

When you come to see a chiropractor you will receive an adjustment. The adjustment is a treatment that promotes alignment in the spine and proper function in the body. Many people do not realize the powerful health benefits that ocme from getting adjusted. It is a natural form of treatment that everyone should be getting to maintain health.

Before you get an adjustment a misalignment is found. This misalignment is known as a subluxation. Once the subluxation is found the chiropractor removes wit with an adjustment. An adjustment can be administered in a number of ways. They can be given by adjustment tools or by hand. Once the misalignment is removed from the body can function better. This means that muscles will be contracting more properly and allow the body to move more freely.

The adjustment removes restrictions that not only limit movement but bodily functions as well. The adjustment is administered by giving a light direct force to correct misalignment. The force given is specific to the region and the direction in which the bones need to move to achieve correction. The force that a patient receives depends o the person's body. Once the pressure is released the bones are in place allowing them to move more correctly. With the bones in the proper place the muscles can contract more properly.
