Adjustments and Manipulations

Chiropractors employ many different techniques for spinal manipulations. An adjustment is a procedure in which the chiropractor will realign vertebrae that have moved out of place. When vertebrae are unaligned, the flow of nerves and systems in your body from the brain are not functioning properly, causing pain.
Along with pain relief, adjustments have a direct effect on our nervous systems. Stresses on the spine, known as sublaxation, create an interference to our nervous. Restoring the spine to it's proper health aids in the flow of information to the rest of the body from the nervous system. 
When it comes to side effects, the most common reaction to a chiropractic adjustment is aching and soreness in the spinal joints and muscles. Side effects typically subside after about 24 hours. Side effects are not common with all patients and overall, adjustments are an excellent way to keep the body functioning appropriately. When your body is in alignment, it is able to respond and perform as it was designed to.
