Quick Guide to Adjustments and the Difference They Can Make in Your Life
Your body is a complex machine that consists of many systems and inter-working parts. Each system relies on others to function properly.
The musculoskeletal system plays a critical role in the health and function of the rest of your body. It’s not only home to your bones, muscles, and other soft tissues, but it also houses the spinal cord. Your spinal cord is full of nerves that control both voluntary and involuntary functions of the body, including muscle and organ function.
The spinal cord lies within the spinal column, and the nerves branch out in various directions to send messages between the brain and the body. When the spinal bones are misaligned, that can prevent these messages from being relayed properly. Additionally, a misalignment can put undue pressure on the discs, muscles, ligaments, and tendons. As such, it can result in issues such as:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Extremity pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Chronic health conditions
- Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the extremities
- Inflammation and much more
In short, even a slight misalignment can create issues in the body from your head to your feet.
The Role of Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments have been an essential technique for restoring health and balance to the body. Chiropractors like Dr. Tonderum at Legacy Family Chiropractic in Waite Park, MN, apply controlled force to a misaligned area to shift the bones back into their proper place. This relieves pressure on the nerves and other surrounding spinal components, which often results in:
- Reduction or elimination of pain and headaches
- Reduction or elimination of tension and inflammation
- Improved blood circulation and nerve function
- Improved sleep
- Increased energy
- Relief from many chronic health issues
- Improved mobility and flexibility
- Improved focus
Adjustments are often combined with other techniques to achieve pain-free living. While the exact techniques vary according to the individual’s needs, some examples include therapeutic exercise, regenerative medicine, and soft tissue therapy.
