Chiropractic Adjustment

Chiropractic manipulation, also known as chiropractic adjustment, is a hands-on technique used by chiropractors to improve joint mobility and alleviate pain. During a chiropractic manipulation, the chiropractor applies a controlled force to a specific joint in the body, often the spine, to improve its function and reduce pain.

The goal of chiropractic manipulation is to correct any misalignments or subluxations in the joints that may be causing pain or discomfort. By restoring proper joint function, chiropractic manipulation can help alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and promote overall health and wellness.

Chiropractic manipulation is a safe and effective treatment option for a wide range of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. It is often used in conjunction with other chiropractic treatments, such as massage therapy and physical therapy, to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness.

1. Is manipulation safe?

Spinal manipulation has been studied for many years and its safety has been demonstrated in plenty of research articles. Spinal manipulation is growing to become many providers (not just chiropractors) first go-to treatment for patient presenting with lower back pain and musculoskeletal dysfunction. 

2. What is that popping noise that you hear? 

The popping noise is known as cavitation's. This noise is caused by air bubbles in your fluid filled joints. They do not necessarily correlate with successful adjustments targeting movement restrictions, but are only a result. They are a safe and typical noise you hear when preforming a manipulation. 

3. Do manipulations alone fix me?

While chiropractic manipulation is one of the greatest tools that differentiate chiropractors from other manual medicine providers, adjustments are intended to communicate with the body's central nervous system (CNS) in order to use the bodies joint receptors to communicate with the brain. At Elevate Wellness, we combine the power of the adjustment with corrective exercise therapy and soft tissue manipulation to restore proper movement to the body.

4. What will I feel afterwards? 

Many patients report feeling "loose" or mobile directly after experiencing chiropractic adjustments. It is common to feel general soreness days after your first manipulation and should not be something you should be concerned about. This typically subsides, followed by feeling better. Many patients report sleeping better at night after chiropractic manipulation.
