Adjustments
The chiropractic adjustment is the foundation of chiropractic care. The doctors will check the spine for areas that are not moving correctly. An adjustment will be performed to restore movement of the involved spinal segments.
By restoring optimal functioning of your nervous system through one or more chiropractic wellness techniques, the doctors relieve a variety of musculoskeletal conditions that cause pain, inflammation, stiffness and systemic disease. Specializing in manual adjusting, Pro-Adjuster adjusting, flexion/distraction, trigger point therapy, electric muscle stimulation and computerized cervical traction, your chiropractor in Greensboro will significantly minimize dysfunction within your nervous system due to misaligned spinal vertebrae. Studies show that when your spine is not aligned and healthy, spinal nerve endings can be compressed and irritated by intervertebral discs that have slipped out of place. Consequently, your overall health and well-being may suffer from one or more chronic disorders due to impaired immune system functioning and widespread inflammation.
There are two main ways the doctors will adjust your spine:
- Manual Adjustments – Manual adjustments are a highly effective hands-on means of correcting spinal alignment problems that cause all kinds of health issues, from muscle strain and joint stiffness to impaired nerve function.
- Pro-Adjuster – the clinic has offered Pro-Adjuster treatments since 2007. This computerized, instrument- based form of chiropractic adjustment allows for extremely precise and gentle corrections. The Pro-Adjuster technique is especially effective in patients who have had previous surgery or who have underlying health conditions such as osteoporosis that would not respond as well to manual adjusting.
