At Kosak Chiropractic of Fairfield, CA, chiropractic adjustments are a part of our typical patient routine. We thought it was important to explain to our clients what exactly a chiropractic adjustment, also known as manipulation, is for. In this article, we'll discuss how these adjustments work and why Dr. Michael Wilson can't stop recommending them!
What is a chiropractic adjustment?
There are several different types of chiropractic adjustments, but they're all designed to improve joint health and increase range of motion. Adjustments involve applying pressure to a target area of the body in order to correct joint position. Often, joints get slightly dislocated over time, which causes excessive wear on them. For older adults and those with weak bones, techniques involving less pressure are used. Adjustments should always be performed by a licensed practitioner to ensure they are done safely.
What are chiropractic adjustments intended to help with?
Chiropractic adjustments are a versatile treatment option that can help with conditions ranging from injuries to arthritis. Although adjustments aren't a cure-all solution, they can relieve pain and other symptoms in conditions they can't cure. Chiropractic adjustments are often a nice supplement to a treatment plan. Other conditions, though, can be completely resolved with regular chiropractic adjustments and healthy lifestyle adjustments. Some such conditions include posture issues, upper and lower back pain, migraines, and more.
