When to Consider a Chiropractic Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments realign your spine to reduce stress on nerves and muscles—helping ease pain and lower your risk of injury. Wondering if it’s time for an adjustment? Contact your chiropractor if you notice any of these:
Back or Neck Pain: Whether it’s new or chronic, spinal adjustments can realign vertebrae (the small bones forming your spine), reduce inflammation, and improve movement. The American Association of Family Physicians recommends spinal manipulation as a first-line treatment for low back pain.
Headaches: Misaligned vertebrae and tight muscles can press on nerves and blood vessels, triggering headaches and migraines. Adjustments—especially when combined with soft tissue therapy—relieve tension and improve blood flow.
Poor Posture: Sitting or standing for long hours can strain your spine, leading to aches, headaches, and even balance issues. Adjustments and soft tissue therapies relax tight muscles and restore alignment.
Injuries: Falls, car accidents, or sports mishaps can cause misalignments. Chiropractic care reduces pain, improves flexibility, and supports faster healing.
Stiff Joints, Insomnia, or Digestive Issues: Adjustments can ease stiffness in joints beyond the spine, promote better sleep by triggering natural pain-relief hormones, and even help with digestion if misalignments affect related nerves.
Feeling any of these symptoms? A chiropractic adjustment could help you move—and feel—better.
