What Are Chiropractic Adjustments?
A chiropractic adjustment involves the skilled application of controlled, precise force to induce motion, correct misalignments (subluxations), reduce nerve interference, and restore proper motion and thus function. Spinal adjustments focus on the vertebrae of the neck, mid-back, and lower back, while extremity adjustments target joints in the arms, legs, and other areas to improve function and reduce pain.
Adjustments are gentle and often use diversified hands-on techniques. Although, lower force options like activator or drop table methods are also provided for more sensitive patients. This core therapy sets chiropractic apart by addressing the root cause of many issues rather than simply masking symptoms.
How Chiropractic Adjustments Work at Leonard Chiropractic
Your session is personalized and comfortable:
• We begin with a thorough evaluation, going over your health history, goals for treatment, range-of-motion testing, physical orthopedic tests to determine what is causing your pain and where it is coming from. If deemed necessary, further imaging may be done as well.
• Using specific, quick thrusts (or gentler instrument-assisted methods), we deliver targeted adjustments to restricted joints.
• Extremity adjustments may be done in peripheral joints, improving mobility for activities like walking, throwing, pushing, and gripping.
• Sessions typically last 5-10 minutes, with many patients feeling immediate relief or improved mobility.
We often combine adjustments with other therapies like intersegmental traction for circulation, electrical stimulation for relaxation of guarding muscles, or spinal decompression for disc-related issues, creating a comprehensive plan to get you back to what you love.
