The term “chiropractic adjustment” can also be referred to as “spinal manipulation.” As you may already know, this is the primary chiropractic treatment method for back pain, relieving pressure on joints, reducing inflammation, and improving nerve function. Chiropractic adjustments have been a trusted form of treatment since the ancient Greek Hippocrates documented manipulative techniques in his writings back in 1500 B.C. Today, spinal manipulation (chiropractic adjustment) is used to treat many other conditions, including allergies, menstrual cramps, headaches/migraines, neck pain, and back pain.
So what happens when you get a chiropractic adjustment? Although there are different techniques used by chiropractors (some may use manual force, while others techniques are more gentle), all are intended with specific and precise manipulation to restore or enhance joint function with the objectives of reducing joint pain and inflammation. Chiropractic adjustments can keep body functioning at its highest level without pain. When the spine is in proper alignment, the body can respond and perform as it was built to do.

Many people suffer from chronic pain in their lower back, arms, legs, or neck. You may find it difficult to make it through your day without the use of pain medication. You may even be considering back surgery. Before heading down that road, find a chiropractic clinic and ask about ongoing chiropractic treatment, also referred to as “spinal manipulation.” You may be surprised that consistent treatment can help you achieve your goal of wellness through chiropractic care!
Some people consider chiropractic treatment as a short-term treatment for pain, but it can also keep chronic pain under control in the long term. Patients have reported that consistent chiropractic treatment has resulted in pain-free living. In comparison, think about your home. It required constant maintenance to prevent the walls, floors, and roof from deteriorating. So it is with people who suffer from chronic pain. Consistent chiropractic treatment over an extended period of time will help you achieve chiropractic wellness.

Whether young or old, back pain is common to most people and is one of the most common complaints to family doctors. It is a fact that back problems typically respond to nonsurgical treatments, such as anti-inflammatory medications, heat, physical therapy, and chiropractic care. Back surgery can help relieve some causes of back pain, but it is rarely necessary. Most back pain resolves on its own within three months and if conservative treatments have not worked and your pain is persistent and disabling, surgery might be an option.
Ask your medical physician, as well as your chiropractor, about what is the recovery from back surgery? Be sure that all the members of your health care team are working together to complement the care you are receiving before making a decision about back surgery.
