Chiropractic Care Q & A

What is chiropractic care?

Chiropractic care is a medical specialty dedicated to conditions due to misalignments in your spine and joints.

When your musculoskeletal system is improperly aligned, it can impede the flow of blood and nerve signals throughout your body. In response, your body tries to compensate and reopen pathways by pushing and pulling certain muscles in your body.

This compensation can cause musculoskeletal discomforts like neck and back pain, but pinched nerves and impaired blood vessels can also affect the health of your organs and impact your overall health as well.

To restore proper flow and function, practitioners of chiropractic care perform manual adjustments that realign your body’s systems. 

What are chiropractic adjustments?

Chiropractic adjustments are hands-on manipulations of your musculoskeletal alignment. Your provider uses sudden and controlled force to realign target areas in your body, which improves your overall range and quality of motion.

When you get chiropractic adjustments, you might hear an audible release of gas from your joint, similar to when you crack your knuckles. In addition to the long-term benefits, many people experience a noticeable sensation of relief immediately after getting a chiropractic adjustment.
