Chiropractors offer a wide range of services and new technology and techniques are constantly being introduced for optimal care. However, chiropractic adjustments have remained the core of the field. Dr. Cherry and the team at Broward Neuropathy & Wellness Center of Hollywood and nearby Florida communities share why and more below.
The Healing Power of Restoring Alignment
When in pain, suffering from chronic conditions, or struggling through normal tasks each day, most people don’t stop to think about their spine. And yet, the spine plays an integral role in your health and how you feel.
The spinal column consists of several components, going far beyond your bones. It also houses your spinal cord, which holds the nerves responsible for much of your voluntary and involuntary bodily functions and processes – including the function of your vital organs.
Additionally, it consists of discs that sit between your bones. When one of the bones or discs shifts out of place, it puts strain and pressure on the other spinal column components. It often leads to issues such as:
- Headaches
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Scoliosis
- Shoulder and arm pain
- Hip pain
- Sciatica
- Nerve compression
- Muscle tension
- Soft tissue injuries
As a misalignment causes nerve compression and can impede blood flow, it can also create, trigger, or worsen chronic health conditions and a general sense of unwellness.
How Adjustments Help
Adjustments involve Dr. Cherry applying a controlled force to shift any misaligned bones back into place. This is often done by hand but can be delivered through handheld instruments for a gentler approach.
As alignment is restored, it takes the excess pressure and strain off the nerves, discs, muscles, and other components. This provides natural relief from symptoms and allows the injured site to heal.
Typically, adjustments play only one part in a treatment plan. Other techniques are added to address any soft tissue problems, enhance recovery, and bring you the most comprehensive relief possible.
