Understanding Chiropractic Adjustments

Chiropractic is a holistic approach to wellness and operates under the belief that what affects one part of the body affects the whole body. When the spine is out of alignment, a subluxation, even a small one, can cause disruptions to your health. At Lincoln Chiropractic Center in Lincoln, NE, our local chiropractor provides spinal adjustment and more to help you get relief from your pain and achieve optimal health.

What Is Chiropractic Adjustment?

The spine is made up of vertebrae and discs. The discs are the cushions between the vertebrae that help the spine to have flexibility. When sections of the spine move out of position, it is called a subluxation. When the vertebrae move out of alignment, they can cause pain. Thankfully, a chiropractor near you can help move the spine back into its proper place using a chiropractic adjustment.

Types of Chiropractic Adjustments 

The Diversified Technique is one of the most commonly used spinal adjustment techniques. It is the technique that most people think of when they think of spinal adjustment. The hands-on method that it uses is a high velocity, low amplitude thrust to move the specific vertebrae back into alignment.

The Activator method uses a handheld device to make a gentle adjustment to the vertebrae. It is an alternative spinal adjustment technique that is very precise in its ability to adjust.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Chiropractic Adjustment? 

Most people are good candidates for chiropractic adjustment. If, however, you have osteoporosis or weak and brittle bones, chiropractic adjustment may not be the right treatment for you. If you have a spinal fracture, you also may not be a good candidate. There’s no need to worry, however. Our local chiropractor will give you an exam and take your medical history to help make sure you are a good candidate.
