A chiropractic adjustment is a manual manipulation of the spine to reduce pain and improve the physical function of the body. Correcting spinal and joint irregularities have a therapeutic effect and enhances your overall health.

A chiropractic doctor (or chiropractor) usually performs the chiropractic adjustment in an office and a patient can be adjusted from one time (such as for a pinched nerve) to a few times per week for more serious conditions to alleviate pain.

A chiropractic adjustment is most often sought by people to relieve pain for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

Benefits of spinal chiropractic adjustments include a wide range of relief from a quick onset of pain to long term preventive care and overall wellness. Overall, chiropractic adjustments will help the bones, muscles, and tissues in your body to work together to help you feel better.

1. Relax Your Muscles Before Your Adjustment

At Axcess, before you get a chiropractic adjustment, typically we help your muscles relax through heat and electric stim, massage or other modalities. Typically you spend about 15 minutes relaxing before we adjust you.

2. Align Your Spine & Neck with a Certified Chiropractor

During your chiropractic adjustment, you will lay down face first on the adjustment table.

Here we will feel your back and neck and then we will gently adjust your back.

Depending on where your experience pain we may apply some lotion that helps relieve pain. Typically, the lotion is applied to your lower back and your neck. Then you will turn and lay on each of your sides where we will adjust your lower spine. After this, you will lie face up and we will then adjust your neck, shoulders or other extremities.

During an adjustment, it is usual to hear cracks and pops. We will also ask you questions throughout your adjustment to ensure it is helping you.

3. Schedule Your Next Appointment

After your appointment, you will check out at the front desk and schedule your next appointment or additional therapies such as a massage. We will also make sure we help you with any additional resources you need such as a referral for imaging, or information about stretches you can do to help with tension in your neck or back.

4. Go Home and Feel Better

After a chiropractic adjustment most of our patients leaving feeling relief from pain and better movement. Some, however, will experience a little stiffness like you would experience after a vigorous workout. It typically resolves quickly and without problems.

What Age Range Can We Treat and Adjust?

We have helped people of all ages. Because no one is exempt from the chance of being injured in a car accident, no one is exempt from pain or injury. Regardless of your age, or your family member’s age we can help.

Our bodies experience different types of pain because our bodies are all unique, and age definitely influences the way our bones, muscles, and joints work together. We are experienced and certified chiropractors that continually seek to expand on our knowledge about how our bodies and bones work in order to treat pain or discomfort and to prevent further injury using the best technology and methodology for the best results possible.
