We have all had that moment where we talk about some kind of pain we are having, and our friend, Susan, won’t stop bringing up her latest adjustment. Then everyone shouts at Susan because we don’t want to hear any more about her chiropractor! You don’t have to invite Susan to book club again, but when it comes to adjustments, she is correct. There are a wide range of benefits for those who get regular adjustments from their chiropractor.
An adjustment is a procedure in which a chiropractor will use their hands or a small instrument to apply a controlled and sudden force to a joint, specifically in the spine. There are many benefits to an adjustment but here are just a few:
· Pain Relief in the joints, back, neck and throughout the body
· Reduction in the frequency and intensity of tension headaches or migraines
· Improvement in flexibility and range of motion
· Improved Posture which helps eliminate the discomfort that comes with misalignment
· Proper joint function which leads to better balance thus reducing fall risks
· More restful sleep due to reduced muscle tension
There are other benefits as well! However, there are times when an adjustment should not be done. If you are suffering from severe osteoporosis, cancer of the spine, or have an increased risk of a stroke, you should see a practitioner who can determine the best type of treatment for you. The great news is that Invictus has a fantastic group of practitioners who can assess your condition and make recommendations that best fit you!
