Here at Stratton Sport and Spine we believe in using every tool and technique available to get the best results for our patient that is why we choose to touch on the benefits of spinal manipulation and why it might be a good fit for you and your lifestyle.

What is a Chiropractic Adjustment?

During an adjustment, a chiropractor will use their hands to apply a controlled force to certain joints in the spine. Patients are asked to have a relaxed posture while the practitioner manipulates specific joints. The goal of spinal manipulation is to improve joint mechanics, which helps surrounding musculature as well. It also helps to increase range of motion and reduce nerve irritability, thus helping decrease pain.

There are many methods of adjusting which can be performed depending on the skill and experience of the chiropractor. Due to the sensitive nature of the muscles and joints effected by this process, manipulation should only be performed by a trained and licensed practitioner.

Who can benefit from Chiropractic Adjustment?

One of the main reasons people seek chiropractic adjustments is to relieve lower back pain. Lower back pain is a very common problem, effecting about 8 out of 10 people at some point in their life. This can severely hold you back from doing important things in life. People with an active lifestyle who aren’t interested in medications and their potential side effects, are candidates for manipulation.
