Adjustments, also known as spinal manipulations, involve the gentle movement of vertebrae in the spine. The goal is to realign vertebrae that may have shifted out of place due to various factors, from normal daily activities to more significant trauma, such as a car accident. This adjustment helps restore proper alignment and function to the spine, promoting overall health and well-being.
What to Expect from a Chiropractic Adjustment at Bartell Chiropractic Life Center in Deerfield Beach
When vertebrae are misaligned, it can have a far-reaching impact on your body, affecting everything from your muscles to your central nervous system. Without proper spinal alignment, the flow of nerves and communication between the brain and body is disrupted, preventing you from functioning at your best.
A chiropractic adjustment typically involves the chiropractor applying pressure—either with their hands or an instrument—to gently move a vertebra back into place. This adjustment is usually quick and generally painless. You may hear a popping or cracking sound, similar to cracking your knuckles, known as joint cavitation. This sound occurs when gases like oxygen and nitrogen are released from the joint.
Regular adjustments are a powerful way to maintain your body’s peak performance. When your body is properly aligned, it can respond and perform optimally, just as it was designed to.
