WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC THERAPY

Chiropractic treatment entails therapy done by hand, particularly the adjustment of the spine. The method stems from the relationship between the body’s structure, especially the spine’s, and its function, which affects our health. Hands-on therapy and adjustment can address diminished health and pain associated with the body’s structure and function. Chiropractic adjustments can help align your joints, reduce how much bones rub together, increase blood flow to the brain, improve overall mobility, and even relieve headaches. 

SPINAL CORRECTION

Chiropractic care’s central concept is that health and wellness are intertwined with the spine’s proper alignment. Spinal adjustments encompass the specific methods applied to vertebrae or joints to address their abnormal movement, position, or function. The focus on spine manipulation is what makes doctors of chiropractic unique in their approach to treating patients with neck and back complaints.

​

Spinal correction – also known as spinal manipulation or spinal manipulative therapy – is one of the most popular chiropractic services. Using their hands or an instrument, a trained chiropractor applies controlled and sudden force to a joint to correct its positioning. Spinal adjustments can be done as a standalone treatment or in conjunction with other treatments such as spinal decompression therapy or cold laser therapy.

​

During spinal correction, patients are typically seated or placed flat on the back, though a face-down position is required in some cases. Patients may hear a crack or pop during the process, but these are normal when air pockets or bubbles are released around the joints.

​

The manipulation process is quick and painless, though some may experience mild discomfort. When the body is accustomed to postural misalignment, it may require time to process the corrective changes to coax the joints back into their proper positions. Many patients experience immediate relief, but multiple sessions are necessary before maximum recovery is attained. Your chiropractor may recommend physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and therapeutic modalities like electric muscle stimulation in conjunction with your chiropractic treatment plan. This is to help restore your quality of life and ensure long-term pain relief. 

​

The chiropractic specialists at PA Pain Specialists have years of experience in the art and science of spinal correction, utilizing the latest and most effective treatments and technologies to provide safe, comfortable, and effective treatments to restore our patient’s spines to proper alignment. Our treatments have the central goal of increasing range of motion and improving function by reducing muscle spasms, pain, nerve irritability, and joint misalignment. So our patients’ bodies will be restored to their natural and healthy states, granting them independence, autonomy, and freedom from pain.
