What are the benefits of a chiropractic adjustment?

Ravi Jain • Oct 05, 2018

A chiropractic adjustment is referred to by many other names, such as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation. It is a common therapeutic treatment for lower back pain, and sometimes to treat back associated headaches and neck ache. This procedure has to be administered by a certified and trained chiropractor. It is preferred for being a non-invasive and drug-free path to healing the body naturally.

Apart from spine manipulation, chiropractic adjustment also promotes other benefits during and after the treatment and healing process.

Benefits of a Chiropractic Adjustment

A chiropractic adjustment does not just facilitate immediate pain relief, but also provides relief to the patient from stress, and psychological trauma. Here are some of the chiropractic benefits:

  1. Prevents Surgery

    The most dreadful medical intervention to spine mis-adjustments is often a surgery. The chiropractic activator method, with the help of physical manipulations, can eliminate the need for surgery in the treatment procedure. The pain and mental stress that the patient and his family undergo are severe. With chiropractic, it is a simple procedure that eliminates the pain.
  2. Reduces Neck and Back Pain

    The spinal manipulation in chiropractic reduces symptomatic neck and back pain without the use of any invasive method. It is also a lot more affordable than a surgery.
  3. Reduces Blood Pressure

    A chiropractic adjustment has showcased reduction in blood pressure among patients that persist for up to six months. The Human Journal of Hypertension also confirmed that a chiropractic adjustment could give people suffering from high blood pressure the same effect as taking certain high blood pressure medications.
  4. Treats Scoliosis

    Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that occurs most often during the growth spurt just before puberty. This condition can cause pain, abnormal posture, a reduction in your range of motion, and even trouble breathing. Chiropractic combined with physical therapy prevents the progression of scoliosis.
  5. Treats Colic, Acid Reflux and Ear Infections in Children

    Interestingly, research has found that chiropractic adjustments helped greatly reduce colic symptoms. Children suffering from ailments such as otitis media (or ear infections) or acid reflux have experienced complete to near-complete resolution after just a few sessions with a chiropractor. Re-aligning the spine and reducing the pressure placed on certain nerves improves the gut-brain connection.
  6. Reduces Inflammation

    Chronic or temporary inflammation is a result of other diseases such as heart ailments, spinal ailments, or cancer. Chiropractic adjustments reduce the inflammation by minimizing pain, joint issues, and tension.
  7. Improves Neurological Conditions

    MRI scans prove that upper cervical adjustments affect various brain-based conditions. Cerebral spinal fluid and blood flow are increased after a chiropractic adjustment. Chiropractic treatment corrects vertebral subluxation that contributes to epilepsy and seizures.
  8. Increases Athletic Performance

    Athletes are prone to injury and pain over practice sessions and sporting events. During a regular upkeep session, chiropractic care focusing on specific mis-alignments can bring the athlete back to the field sooner than a prolonged treatment. Many sports teams and players hire certified chiropractors for regular treatment.

 

These adjustments can reduce pain and tension caused by sports and activity. They also help reduce inflammation and boost the immune system to help improve an athletes performance.

 

Healing sciatic nerve pain, vertigo, severe fatigue, frozen shoulder, and migraine are among some of the benefits of a chiropractic adjustment. These practices, when combined with other treatments like physiotherapy, osteopathy and massage therapy, can in some cases deliver incredible relief to the patient. To avoid severe side effects of an invasive surgery or high-dosage of medicines, chiropractic care can treat spinal ailments with little or no pain.
