Often called spinal manipulation, what is it about the chiropractic adjustment that is so special?

     The chiropractic adjustment is much more than taking care of back and neck pain. An adjustment will restore proper alignment of the spine, relieving pain and allowing greater mobility. The chiropractic adjustment heals the body as a whole by restoring the vital energy flow from the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to the tissues of the body so there is no interference in neurological communication. When a body is free from interference, it can heal and restore it's normal function once again.

     Remember, the nerves travel to many sites other than to the muscles. They travel to organs and virtually every area of the human body. If there was an interruption of this vital energy flow, organs and tissues of the body would slowly begin to decline in health. But, if this vital energy flow is restored through the chiropractic adjustment, the body would slowly return to balance.

     Chiropractic adjustments are part of a healthy lifestyle. What this means is that adjustments work best when the body is given what it needs in the form of nutrition, exercise, clean water, organic foods and proper rest. If the individual is serious about healing, then he must focus on these things.

     An example of what chiropractic adjustments can do other than help with low back and neck pain is to help the body's immune system. When there is proper communication and energy flow from the brain and spinal cord, immune function is enhanced. This is wonderful for those who suffer from colds, flu and even allergies.

Chiropractic manipulation is a safe and effective treatment. It reduces pain, decreases medication and rapidly advances other forms of therapy

The primary feature of chiropractic treatment is the chiropractic adjustment. There are many ways in which chiropractors adjust the mis-aligned vertebrae. 

The most common way is called the diversified technique by which the doctor of chiropractic uses his hands to re-align the spinal segment.	Another form of the chiropractic adjustment is called activator technique by which the doctor of chiropractic uses a hand held instrument which produces a low force correction to the area involved.	A third type of manipulation is called flexion-distraction where the doctor of chiropractic utilizes a special table designed to align the vertebrae in a gentle tractioning type maneuver.
These are just a few of the ways chiropractors may adjust your spine into proper alignment.
