WHAT ARE THEY?

Chiropractic Adjustments are gentle but firm joint mobilizations meant to restore normal movement within the joint.

 

When an injury or instability occurs in the body, one of the ways your body tries to adapt to that instability is by fixating joints along the kinetic chain. This means that a stiffness occurs in the joint preventing mobility in the area, until your brain regains confidence that it can control the area without causing harm. Chiropractic Adjustments are used to override this stiffness, and get you back to moving the way you were meant to.

Joint Adjustments can be help extremely helpful in cases of:

  • Sciatica
  • Disc Herniations
  • Joint Stiffness

HOW DO THEY WORK?

Pain, movement, and proprioception (your body's awareness of where it is in space) all send information to the brain. When you're moving well, the brain receives abundant movement and proprioceptive input, allowing it to keep pain in perspective.

After an injury, the body often limits movement to protect the area. This reduces healthy sensory input, making pain signals a larger percentage of what the brain receives. As a result, the brain can become more focused on pain. Restoring normal movement helps increase healthy input to the brain, often reducing pain and improving function.

By applying a precise force to the fixated joint your licensed Chiropractor is able to:

  • Restore normal motion in the joint
  • Supply the brain with a surplus of new movement information
  • Reduce your pain

SO IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT THE POPPING JOINTS?

While the “popping” or cavitation of the joint can be a satisfying sensation, it has little to no effect on the actual outcome of the treatment. What is more important is that normal movement is restored to the area being treated.

DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO BE ADJUSTED?

TLDR- No.

Adjustments are just one tool amongst many in our tool box here at Origin Health & Perfromance. Just as you can’t build a house with a hammer alone, adjustments may not be right for every situation. This is why we take the time to thoroughly examine the cause of your situation and personalize our treatment plans to fit your specific needs.
