Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic Spinal Manipulation is rapid stretching at the spinal joint results in significant therapeutic intervention.
On one level, muscle and ligaments stretch, blood circulation increases, and nerve fibers fire rapidly at the moment of the chiropractic adjustment, also known as spinal manipulation. But the picture is more complicated.
To understand this complexity, we need to return to the spinal joint and its neuroanatomy; the anatomy of the nerves and the nervous system. This includes the stimulation of mechanoreceptors (responds to mechanical pressure) and the stretching of muscle receptors called muscle spindles, all of which are stimulated by the chiropractic spinal adjustment.
Chiropractic Medicine is science based alternative for all musculoskeletal aches and pains. Some conditions require other treatment interventions including surgery, thus proper diagnosis is warranted.
Chiropractic Medicine has proven to be a safe and valuable conservative therapy in treating mechanical disturbances of the spine, with possible wider implications for health and wellness.
