CWhether you’re aiming to achieve general wellness or are seeking relief from pain, Dr. Debbie Oldenberg, Dr. Timothy Kirchberg, and Dr. Jessica Waterworth offer chiropractic adjustments at Parkside Chiropractic in Columbus, WI, to help you naturally achieve your goal.
Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments
The most well-known chiropractic treatment is spinal adjustment, and many people have experienced one at some point. However, that doesn’t mean that everyone knows their purpose or benefits. In this guide, Dr. Oldenberg, Dr. Kirchberg, and Dr. Waterworth at Parkside Chiropractic in Columbus, WI, explain chiropractic adjustments to help provide some clarity.
What Are Adjustments and How Do They Work?
Each of the bones in your body stacks neatly on top of one another. In between these bones are cushioning discs that keep the bones from rubbing against one another. Also in the mix are muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons.
Sometimes, the bones get moved out of their proper position – this is called a misalignment. And when it occurs, the misaligned section of the body puts pressure on the discs and other components. This causes tension, herniated discs, sciatica, and more.
Adjustments are a natural method in which a chiropractor helps the bone return to its proper position. This is done by applying varying amounts of force and manipulation to the misaligned area. Though it’s usually carried out by hand, instrument-assisted adjustments are also used that offer more precision with less force.
Why Do You Need Adjustments?
Improper position of the bones can create a great deal of bodily dysfunction. As a misalignment often impacts the surrounding nerves, it can cause pain, tingling, or numbness that gets referred to other parts of the body. Restoring alignment allows the body to heal itself and the nerves to do their job properly, providing natural relief from a variety of symptoms.
When Should You Seek Adjustments?
Many people only seek adjustments when there is an injury or chronic pain. While the treatment is definitely helpful in such times, you don’t need to be suffering to have an adjustment. Sometimes, your bones can be misaligned and you do not even realize it yet. And regular chiropractic adjustments can ensure that your bones stay aligned, which can prevent symptoms from ever appearing. In short, there is never a bad time to seek chiropractic care.
