FROM THE DOCTOR IS A COMPUTERIZED ADJUSTMENT RIGHT FOR YOU? The first thing most people think of when they hear the word “chiropractor” is an image of a doctor pushing and pulling on your body to crack (adjust) your spine. This is an accurate, albeit a little oversimplified, description of a chiropractic adjustment. However, it is not the only way a chiropractor can adjust your spine. Many chiropractors take advantage of newer and safe computerized adjustment systems. These systems make advanced evaluations of individual joints before and after the adjustment. This allows for precise care on each visit. This technology does not change the standard definition of chiropractic care (An application of pressure on certain areas of the body to realign dysfunctions in the musculoskeletal system). The Chiropractor’s goal is always to relieve the pressure on a nerve so the body can resume natural flow and function. Compressed nerves can cause a number of ailments such as: pain; muscle soreness; muscle weakness; limit mobility; numbness, tingling or tightness in extremities. Manual techniques apply pressure, quick movement, and release to relieve the pressure in the spine. Once the pressure is released, proper blood flow is restored to the nerves and thus restored to other areas of the body. Most people see pain relief rather quickly. Some need subsequent visits to help the body keep the spine in alignment and establish a new muscle memory. Both manual and computerized adjustments have been used by chiropractors for decades. Either method works and the goals are the same. Have a conversation with your doctor to determine which of these methods is right for you and your needs.
