About Chiropractic Adjustments – What to Expect for Corrective Chiropractic Care & Treatments

Many people seek chiropractic care after they have been involved in an accident or have been injured. They may be experiencing severe pain, such as waking up in the morning with a stiff neck or having lower back pain as a result of lifting a heavy object. Signs of intense muscular pain in the back or neck are a good indicator that one should seek attention from a chiropractor.

However, what many people don’t realize is that seeing a chiropractor can help prevent injuries from occurring in the first place and address underlying issues and conditions that cause chronic pain. For this reason, it is always a good idea to get to know a local chiropractor near you.

Whether you are visiting a chiropractor for the first time or are looking for a new corrective chiropractic care provider in Chandler, your treatment will most likely involve some form of rehabilitation therapy and chiropractic adjustments.

Procedure for Chiropractic Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments, sometimes referred to as spinal manipulation, are a treatment method used to provide immediate pain relief for back and neck issues by applying a sudden force in a very precise manner to the joints located in the spine. The goal of this procedure is to correct any problems with structural alignment and help restore the body to a full-functioning state.

Chiropractic adjustments are usually conducted within the first phase of corrective chiropractic care and are done two to three times per week for a period of time lasting four weeks or longer. This initial phase is usually followed by intense physical rehab, and then adjustments are conducted again on a periodic basis to ensure continual healing and prevent future injury.

Benefits & Risks of Chiropractic Adjustments
Many people seek corrective chiropractic care as an alternative to treatment that relies solely on the use of prescription drugs. Prescription drugs can be used in conjunction with chiropractic care, but are not used as the only method of relieving pain.

Millions of people around the world have found relief from pain and negative symptoms from the physical rehabilitation and spinal adjustments involved in corrective chiropractic care. Some of the conditions that chiropractic adjustments can help with include but are not limited to:

  • Back pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Ear infections
  • Scoliosis
  • Neurological conditions
  • High blood pressure

Chiropractic adjustments are considered a generally safe procedure with low risks with conducted by a trained licensed professional. In some rare cases, especially when other severe medical conditions are present, there can be some risks involved that lead to complications such as stroke, compression of the nerves, or a herniated disk, but these cases are few and far between. If you have concerns about the safety of treatment, you should express these to your doctor or chiropractic care provider.
