Most often people seek chiropractic adjustment as a remedy for pain conditions,
including: Low back pain Neck pain Headache, Sciatica, numbness and
tingling.
Each year in the United States, 1 in 4 adults experiences low back pain — a
condition that can be frustrating and difficult to treat. Low back pain is the
main reason why people seek chiropractic care. Research shows that chiropractic
adjustment may offer mild to moderate relief from low back pain.
Chiropractors use the spinal adjustment as the main method of spinal
correction. A spinal adjustment is a precise, manually delivered, gentle force
into a stuck or misaligned joint. Adjustments improve range-of-motion
(flexibility) and can result in a sensation of well being due to improved nerve
and vascular (circulatory) function.
Chiropractic was developed in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer. He found that by
working with the spine to remove fixations, could also give substantial pain
relief. While Chiropractic has been predominately used as a way to relieve neck
and back pain, it has also become a way of pursuing health and well being for
many. Chiropractic is and should be part of every person's overall health
regimen. By creating better motion in the spine, it helps the joints of the
spine stay healthier longer and delays the onset of the degenerative processes
that often affect the spine.
