A chiropractic adjustment, also called a chiropractic or spinal manipulation, is a manual procedure where the chiropractic physician uses his or her hands — or an instrument— to manipulate the joints of the body, particularly the spine.
Chiropractic adjustments can help reduce pain, inflammation, and stiffness in affected areas. It requires no invasive treatments, rarely causes any pain or discomfort, and many patients feel relief immediately following treatment.
Using specific position and gentle force, a chiropractic adjustment is performed to restore or enhance joint function in the affected area.
Chiropractic adjustments are helpful for patients suffering from:
- Lower and upper back pain
- Neck pain
- Joint issues and/or pain
- Pain or discomfort from pregnancy
- Headaches
- Stiffness/lack of mobility in the neck, back, and limbs
- Scoliosis
Dr. Scott Rosner and the team at Weymouth Chiropractic and Wellness Center ensures that they understand your history before performing any adjustments by conducting a full orthopedic and neurologic assessment of each patient to rule out any contraindications to treatment.
After a full exam, Dr. Scott may perform specific corrections to your alignment. Treatment doesn’t end after you leave the office, either! Chiropractic care is based on the idea of interconnectivity of all parts of your daily life. Dr. Scott may make recommendations regarding your lifestyle, your diet, and your mindset as all contributory towards overall health. Following the treatment plan will help the short-term results be even more effective and help you get the long-term results you desire.
