Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments and Why They’re Important
Most people are not aware of just how vitally important their spine is in work, play and regular daily activities. It is imperative to keep it in optimal working order to achieve or maintain best possible health. "The brain and spinal cord controls and coordinates all
organs and functions of the body.*" Grey's Anatomy, 29th Edition, page 4. The spinal column is made up of bones, joints, discs, ligaments, cartilage, tendons, muscles, and nerves. Each of these components has a very specific purpose to fulfill in order to keep your body moving and functioning properly.
A misalignment or segmental dysfunction of spinal joints and adjacent structures can compromise neuromechanical function resulting in nerve interference which often leads to pain, numbness, disease and vulnerability to injury.
Specific adjustments are designed for each patients' individual needs as determined by a chiropractic bio-neuro-muscular evaluation. Adjustments help correct nerve interference and spinal dysfunction resulting in the freer flow of life giving information throughout the body, allowing life to be more enjoyable.
Who Should Get a Chiropractic Adjustment?
Everyone from infants to the most elderly can benefit from chiropractic adjustments-even if they are not experience pain or symptoms. In fact, one of the great things about chiropractic adjustments is that they can actually prevent pain by heading off potential issues.
Adjustments aren’t just effective for preventing or treating pain, though. They are beneficial in a variety of other ways.
For example, they can improve your flexibility, range of motion, and mobility. They can improve nerve function, which helps prevent many ongoing health conditions. They can also improve sleep, energy, concentration, digestion, moods, stress levels, blood flow, and much more. So the answer to the question of who should seek adjustments is anyone who is living in pain or simply wants to live a healthier life.
