ADJUSTMENTS/ MANIPULATION

Chiropractic care is an important part of any treatment. If you look at a house and it's electrical system, this is a good example of how the nervous system works. Have you ever had the circuit breaker blow in your house and you can't get electricity to that part of the house? The lights go out and the electrical flow is stopped. Well, it is similar with the spine. When you have a subluxation - a vertebrae that is out of alignment in the spine then there is a nerve that is being pressed on and short circuiting the "electrical" or nervous system impulse to that part of the body. You have nerves that pass through your vertebrae and provide "electricity" so to speak to different organs and glands in the body. If one of these nerves are being pinched off then it can cause the organ or glands to not function at 100%. Here is a prime example: have you ever had shooting pain down your leg and possibly into your foot? Well, that would mean that there is a vertebrae out of alignment in your low back causing that "electrical" current to go haywire and causing the pain down your leg.

When we look at the body, even in terms of weight loss, it is important to address anything that would impede the glands that affect weight loss and how they function. Getting adjusted helps with the nerve flow to these weight loss glands.
The term "adjustment" refers to the specific manipulation chiropractors apply to vertebrae that have abnormal movement patterns or fail to function normally. The objective of the chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxation, which results in an increased range of motion, reduced nerve irritability and improved function.

The adjustments made by the chiropractor consists of a high velocity, short lever arm thrust applied to a vertebra, which is often accompanied by an audible release of gas (joint cavitation). The audible sound is caused by the release of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, which releases joint pressure (cavitation). The sensation is usually relieving, though minor discomfort has been reported (that usually lasts for only a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or the patient tenses up during the chiropractic procedure.

There are times when joint cavitation or cracking does not occur and this is often due to either significant muscle splinting or the patient may not be adequately relaxed during the chiropractic procedure. At times like this, it is sometimes best for the chiropractor to apply ice, have the patient rest, or do electrical stimulation and massage prior to attempting spinal manipulation.
