Spinal adjustments are a technique done by Chiropractic physicians in order to correct vertebral misalignment that may be causing pain. There are instruments used in order to achieve this and the most popular is a drop table, where the patient lays on and has specific drops that help the doctor adjust the patient’s spine. By adjusting the spine, it removes pressure on the nervous system and restores proper body functionality. Since your central nervous system controls all body functions and emotions it is important to keep it healthy for mental and physical health.
Subluxations
Misaligned bones are called subluxations. A Subluxation is also any joint that has lost its full range of motion. If you have ever felt stiffness in your back or joints this is a subluxation. These injuries can be fixed with Chiropractic Adjustments. When a subluxation is left uncorrected, normal body functioning is affected and can lead to disruption of body function depending on where the subluxation is.
What Causes That Pop During a Spinal Adjustment?
First time patients generally are surprised during their spinal adjustment of how loud the pops can be when getting adjusted. During the adjustment, as the doctor moves your spine, small pockets of air bubbles which is made out of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide is released. This “pop” is called a cavitation. It is not cracking bones as many people believe, in fact it is similar to uncorking a champagne bottle
Fixing Your Sublations the Right Way
Spinal adjustment are the second step to corrective care chiropractic, the main goal is to position the bone to where it needs to go. Therefore fixing the subluxations that can be causing you pain and keeping your body function from running at its full potential.
Almost everyone today has some form of subluxations in their spine, especially their neck because of smartphones. The “text neck” happens when you look down at your phone for long periods of time. Many patients that we see also have lumbar spine issues from sitting in one place for long periods of time such as their car or their office.
A Spinal Adjustment is just as important as brushing your teeth, keeping your central nervous system running at its full potential can prevent lots of injuries in the future. Over 80% of people will suffer from back pain after the age of 50 due to degenerative disc disease. Keeping your spine aligned and getting regular adjustments can prevent back pain.
