Have you ever wondered about chiropractic?  Have you ever wanted more information but didn’t know what to ask? Here are some common questions and answers.

What are vertebrae?

 Vertebrae are the bones in your back that fit together so the nerve supply produced in your brain can filter down your spinal cord and out over your nerves. The nerves are responsible for communicating information throughout your body so the the proper growth, repair, and healing can take place. When vertebrae are out of their natural alignment, the potential for nerve interference is great.

There are so many parts of your body that become affected when your chiropractor corrects your vertebral subluxations during a chiropractic adjustment.  The flow of the nerve impulses in your body are normalized and your body begins to rebalance and renew itself.

How Will I Feel?

After an adjustment, many patients feel peaceful and relaxed. It is also important to know that after the initial adjustment many people feel no difference – that is completely normal. There is still healing occurring under the surface. In fact, some people may initially feel sore or uncomfortable after the adjustment while their body is adjusting to the correction, which you can read more about below. After the first few visits, however, chiropractic patients will find that their problems they initially came in for will begin to lessen.

What is a Spinal Adjustment?

A spinal adjustment is when a chiropractor uses a special technique to eliminate or reduce vertebral subluxations in your spine.  When you visit a chiropractor for the first time, you can receive an analysis of your spine that will help determine how many subluxations are in your spine and how they can be treated.

During a Spinal Analysis, What Does a Chiropractor Take Into Consideration?

  • Which direction are the vertebrae out of alignment?
  • Is the patient relaxed enough for a spinal adjustment?
  • What is the best technique to use?
  • Why is there stress and tension in this area of the body?
  • What is the minimal amount of force necessary to realign the spine?
