Spinal adjustments, sometimes called spinal manipulation, involve a licensed chiropractor manipulating the vertebrae to promote internal healing. It is commonly believed that only one adjustment is necessary when back or neck pain is apparent, but many may benefit from regular adjustments. Explore the reasons we suggest adding spinal adjustments to your yearly care plans.
Spinal adjustments allow for increased blood flow, which delivers more nutrients to the blood cells, effectively boosting energy levels organically. Furthermore, chiropractors can identify triggers that cause low energy levels. This can include correcting sleeping positions because, according to reports from WebMD, poor sleeping positions can cause strain on certain areas of the body, obstructing oxygen to the brain, which decreases energy levels.
Spinal adjustments are known to increase the mobility of the spine, joints, and muscles. This is because chiropractors do not solely focus on the spine. They have methods to correct misalignments, which naturally increase the range of motion. A misalignment in the vertebrae prevents the ligaments and nerves from functioning as they should, which may cause pain and prevent certain movements.
Spinal adjustments significantly benefit those with poor posture, which can result from a sedentary lifestyle or injury. Once a person goes without sitting up straight for a significant period, it can become difficult to do so because the spine starts to bend improperly. Regular spinal adjustments and instructions for improvement at home from the chiropractor can keep the spine in its proper position.
Everyone gets the occasional headache. However, migraines surpass the pain and side effects of the common headache. They can be debilitating and last a few hours to a few days. According to studies reported by the National Library of Medicine, individuals with chronic migraines showed a decrease in the frequency and severity of symptoms during an attack.
Increased pressure can aggravate nerves, resulting in acute and chronic conditions. Patients with chronic conditions such as sciatica or osteoarthritis may greatly benefit from regular spinal adjustments. Sciatica is pain that radiates from the sciatic nerve. When inflamed or disturbed, this nerve can cause pain and tingling sensations throughout various parts of the body, making it difficult to function.
While the source of the sciatica nerve becoming aggravated will need to be determined, it is often due to other parts of the musculoskeletal system, such as a herniated disk. Therefore, if more extensive procedures are necessary, patients can schedule an appointment with the appropriate care provider but find relief in the meantime with an adjustment.
Spinal adjustments may increase your quality of life by helping to alleviate pain and unnecessary pressure on your vertebrae, nerves, muscles, and joints.
