In general practice one of the questions I get asked the most is โWhat is an Adjustment?โ It is probably the treatment technique we use in the clinic that is the least well understood by patients. This misunderstanding of what an adjustment is can also create fear. The purpose of this blog post is to answer some questions as to what an adjustment actually is.

"Came to see Josh as had a severe back spasm, some sort of strain. He has worked wonders from day one and since then. Josh is understanding and puts me totally at ease, each visit has been a big step forward in the recovery process. Can't recommend Pro Chiro highly enough."

One of the most common questions people have when they wonder whether they should go to a chiropractor is โWhat does a chiropractor do?โ Many people wonder this, and we are frequently asked this question when patients come in for their first visit at our chiropractic clinic in Surrey.
"I have been going to Pro chiro now for at least six months. Initially I was suffering with lack of neck and shoulder mobility and was very hunched over. After explaining to Josh what I was experiencing he set to undoing years of bad posture and injuries. After the first session I was completely amazed at how just a few adjustments had made me feel. I felt more mobile, not in pain and incredibly felt a little taller. Since then, I have visited his practice once a month as a refresher and also to try and lose all the bad posture habits. All in all Josh is a very friendly and an amazing professional. The level of care is beyond 5 stars."
A lot of the patients that come in to see us at Pro Chiro for the first time are unsure of what to expect out of their first visit. They wonder what the initial consultation with our Surrey chiropractor entails. This blog post is intended to answer the question โWhat will a Chiropractor do on the first visit?โ

"Josh is an excellent chiropractor who helped me immensely with my back pain. I was in a lot of pain when I first saw Josh on someone's recommendation, and after the very first session, I felt at least 60% better. He also suggests exercises through videos which you can refer to for the right technique etc on an ongoing basis which is very helpful. I've continued my treatment with him since and have no hesitation in recommending him."
Neck pain is so common these days partly due to our lifestyle habits. We spend a large amount of time looking down at electronic screens in front of us, putting stress and strain on the muscles and joints of the neck.
A lot of the time, neck pain can be dramatically reduced by working on areas above and below where the pain actually is.
The specific treatment techniques we use will depend on many factors including the patientโs preferences. There is no one size fits all treatment, but we have a large treatment toolbox to pick from so if you have a preference on the type of treatment we use, just let us know!

In the past, patients were told to โtake it easyโ during a flare-up of low back pain. They may have been prescribed bed rest by their family physician, thinking that avoidance of movement would help relax spasming muscles and ease pain to more tolerable levels.
However, times have changed. Treatment guidelines instead recommend specific exercise (4), gentle stretches, and other ways of staying active during the recovery process. Total bed rest is to be avoided.

So this happened last monthโฆ

In fact, over 80% of people have experienced at least one episode of low back pain in their lives, and up to a quarter of adults have experienced low back pain in the last three months! Thatโs prettyโฆ painful to think about, actually.
On top of this, chronic low back pain is considered the second most common form of disability worldwide and one of the most common causes for adults to see a family physician.
During an adjustment, there may or may not be a cracking noise produced by the joint we are adjusting. This cracking noise sounds very dramatic and important, but is in no way linked to the beneficial effects of the adjustment.
The cracking noise is produced by a bubble of gas inside the joint that gets released during the adjustment. During the adjustment this bubble of gas forms, and then very quickly the bubble โimplodesโ and pops. The cracking noise is just this gas bubble imploding. Its the same noise as when you click and crack your knuckles.
