Chiropractic adjustments
What separates the chiropractic profession from all
other health care providers is the use of
adjustments to the spinal vertebrae in the
restoration and maintenance of health. This
specialized treatment, which is also called spinal
manipulation, is a specific movement applied to the
spinal joint to restore proper motion and function
and to eliminate nerve irritation.
Adjustments are a skill that requires special
training and is an integral part of a chiropractor's
education. Special physical tests as well as
diagnostic x-ray and MRI, are used to determine
where and what type of adjustment is needed to
correct the specific health condition. Most
adjustive technique is done with the hands though
there are also methods of adjustment that involve
instruments or sophisticated tables such as a
Leander Table
The most common method of adjustment and probably
the most widely used is called Diversifed technique.
With this method the practitioner physically moves
the joint with a small fast impulse that causes an
articular release or what the patients often calls
"cracking". The sound that one feels and hears is
not the bones cracking but a release of gas pressure
within the joint when it resets itself during the
adjustment. Besides the increased mobility in the
joint, the adjustment helps increase the circulation
and relieve pressure upon the nerve endings that
line the surface of the joint and course through the
space between the joints. This is particularly
useful when one has acute back or neck pain that
involves muscle spasm as often one can feel
immediate increase in movement and a significant
decrease in pain directly after an adjustment.
The spinal nerves exit between the vertebrae close
to the joints and travel to other parts of the body
virtually connecting the brain to every thing else.
With in mind, spinal adjustments can have a powerful
affect upon many conditions besides just neck and
back pain. For example with many neck conditions,
the spinal nerve is often affected causing an
associated pain, numbing or weakness in the
shoulder, arm or hand. By adjusting the associated
neck vertebrae, these problems in the extremity can
be alleviated. This is also true with conditions
such as headaches where in many cases the cause of
the headache is due to an irritation to the nerve
from the upper neck.
Adjustments have also been known to help problems
such as asthma, gastritis, constipation and
menstrual cramps in certain cases. This again is due
the fact that the spinal nerves connect the brain to
the organs such as the lungs, stomach and uterus. A
problem in the spine such as a subluxation, can
cause irritation to the spinal nerve and adversely
affect the organ systems. However it is important to
always rule out other possibilities of organ pain or
dysfunction with your doctor.
Chiropractic adjustments are a safe and effective
treatment for numerous health problems though one
should always make sure that only a graduate of an
accredited chiropractic institution is allowed to
adjust or manipulate the spine. Particularly in the
Asian countries, many unqualified individuals are
doing crude forms of spinal manipulation in the
guise of massage. This is a potentially dangerous
situation as person should always undertake a
history and examination before having spinal
adjustments or manipulation as certain spinal
conditions are adversely affected by vigorous
manipulations.
