Answering your questions about chiropractic adjustment
Q What is chiropractic adjustment?
A Chiropractic adjustment, also called spinal manipulation, is a procedure used by DCs to correct misalignments of the vertebrae of your spine. Untreated, these misalignments can interfere with neurological communication between your brain, tissues and organs.
Q What happens when you have a chiropractic adjustment?
A After identifying your condition via examination and testing, and determining that spinal adjustment is the best treatment for you, your DC will position your body so that only the affected area is isolated. Next, your DC will manipulate the joint, freeing it from its position. In restoring the joints natural movement, inflammation and pain are reduced and your tissues begin to heal.
Q Is it true that there's a popping sound during an adjustment?
A Yes, this harmless popping sound occurs when gas bubbles in the fluid surrounding the joint are released during the procedure. Have you ever cracked your knuckles? It's the same thing.
Q Does this procedure hurt?
A Some people are squeamish about spinal manipulation if they aren't familiar with the procedure. When conducted by a licensed DC, however, spinal manipulation is effective in reducing muscle and joint pain. Only rarely does chiropractic adjustment cause mild discomfort that typically goes away in a day or two.
You should not have chiropractic adjustment if you have:
a fracture
cancer of the bone or bone marrow
severe spinal osteoporosis
tuberculosis of the spine
a disease of the spinal cord
severe arthritis
an infection in your bone or joint
acute gout
compression of your spinal cord or cauda equina (nerve roots at the end of your spine)
uncontrolled diabetic neuropathy
a bleeding disorder
pain down your leg or arm with increasing weakness, difficulty walking and bowel or bladder control problems
Prior to treatment, your DC will take a detailed medical history. It's important to give thorough answers, even if you're not sure a health condition has any bearing on your chiropractic therapy. This will enable your DC to rule out treatments that aren't appropriate for you.
